our memorable 4th of july

Our July 4th 2013 is one we'll never forget!  The day started with a parade, time with family, a great lunch, then followed by a little nap.

 

Then 3 1/2 hours later (after being awoken from my restless slumber by annoying "pains")...

 

 

One week early, our little "firecracker" was born July 4, 2013

Sara Elizabeth

7lb 14oz

20 in long

born at 6:29pm

 

Everything happened so quick!  I still can't believe it!  She is absolutely beautiful and Emmy and Bailey couldn't be more excited to have their baby sister here.  Every morning Bailey asks me, "Where's the baby mom?" making sure I didn't decide to give her to someone else in the night I guess? 

Emmy is my little helper and loves holding Sara. 

 

Our sweet Sara was a week old yesterday and it doesn't even seem like that much time has passed.  We are all still adjusting to life with a newborn but couldn't be happier.  She is such a sweet and wonderful addition to our family. 

Here are a few photos of the last week.

 

 Proud big sister

 

 Don't worry, Sara isn't buried in the baskets:) 

 

 My new kitchen decoration, haha.  She seems to like the sound of running water so I put her behind the sink while I did dishes...she fell right asleep.

 

 Sara's two other mothers.  They are my little helpers. 

 

 

 Thank you to all our friends and family for meals, treats, congratulations, and support.  We appreciate and love you all!
