Fresh From Heaven!

Well, Charlotte is finally here! She arrived at 4:01am on Friday morning the 8th, bouncing in at 7lbs, 6oz and 20" long. She ended up being 5 days late (Garrett thanked her very much for allowing him to watch the Super Bowl). She is so adorable (bias considered)! She came out with dark brown hair, and a lot of it. She opened her eyes almost immediately as she entered the world, just checking out all us earthlings. She proceeded to cry once Garrett broke out in song, singing happy birthday, or maybe she started to sing along- but probably not. We are so happy she is here and officially a part of our family.

Sarah, Garrett & Charlotte- Happy Birthday

Cami was awsome, she was our doula, but didn't want us to call her that in the delivery room becuase the hospital staff gets a little anxious- so she doubled as our "friend". She helped us know what to do and was very encouraging. The comfort of having her in the room with us was remarkable, plus she predicted the time of delivery within 1 minute- Thanks Cami! All the nurses & doctors were impressed with Sarah's progression throughout the delivery- good job, babe! The delivery of Charlotte was very different compared to the C-section when Isaac was born. A lot less recovery time and we were able to enjoy our 'family' sooner as the healing process was significantly reduced.

Sarah & Cami

Charlotte is the first girl-cousin, Grand daughter & Great-Grand daughter in Garrett's family. We think she'll get a little teasing from all the boys, but alot spoiled from all the adults. Grandma & Pa Easton have been watching Isaac while we were at the hospital. They brought him to meet his little sister for the first time, when Garrett coached him to say, "baby". He said, "be". Very cool. We'll see what his reaction is when he realizes that this little "be" is invading his space and attention from mom & dad. We think he will do just fine, but we did see the possesive side of him at Christmas with his new toys- maybe he'll be just has possesive of his sister as well?!

Isaac & Charlotte

In Sarah's family she is the evening factor for girl and boy grand kids (3 & 3), that is until this summer when Melinda will have her 2nd... About 2 minutes old.
