It's a girl!

Baby #3 is here and she's a girl! Sarah Lorraine was born on Thursday, September 24, 2009 at 10:40am. She weighed 6lbs 15oz and was 20 inches long. She's a little cutie! Big brothers Daniel and Adam absolutely adore her and won't stop hugging, kissing and cuddling her. She's definitely got two very protective older brothers. Anyway, here's a little bit about Sarah's birth day.

Labour started around 2:30am on the 24th and we arrived at the hospital at about 4:30. We didn't want to waste any time getting there, since Adam arrived so quickly. I did not want to be having my baby in the car!

Luckily, things didn't go quite as quickly as with Adam but she still came pretty fast. After 8 hours of labour, little Sarah entered the world. Here's the proud Mommy and Daddy.

She was so alert, right from the beginning. And she has beautiful little eyes. Wonder if they'll be blue like her brothers?

There she is, skinny little 6lbs 15oz. She's got long skinny fingers and toes, wrists and ankles, just like her mom. Her hospital bracelets wouldn't even stay on!

Aunty Laura was there to witness her birth.

So was Gramma. Sarah is named after both her grandmothers as well as some great-grandmothers. Sarah is Gramma Terry's given name, as well as her grandmother's first name. Lorraine is Grandma Rowe's and Great-Grandma Campbell's middle names.





Sweet little baby.

Daniel and Adam came to meet their sister in the afternoon. They were so proud! Daniel just had this look of awe and pride on his face the whole time. Adam kept smiling at her and saying, "Baby-ya!"

Our family is complete!

These may be two of the cutest pictures you've ever seen. :)

Time to go home! We were just in the hospital for a little over twenty-four hours. I was ready to go home. James spent the night at home with the boys so Sarah and Mommy were on their own for the night. It was a long night, since Sarah didn't fall asleep until 4am. (That means I had been awake for 25 hours, 8 of those spent in labour. I was exhausted!) Plus, the food was terrible, even for hospital food. So it was nice to go home and start our lives as a family of five.
