Sarah Kay
Where to begin? I'll start with the standard answers to questions that everyone asks. Sarah was born early Wed. morning, weighing around 8 1/2 pounds and a bit over 20 inches. (Now for guys, that's sufficient information, but when you talk with the ladies- like my wife- this "rounded off" response just drives them crazy!)It was nice to have the C-section scheduled, giving Cindy an opportunity to have a pretty good night's rest at home/ good dinner before heading on over to Akron General for the 10:00 A.M. appointment...and just about an hour later, little Sarah arrived- God, she's beautiful!
Cindy has done remarkably well so far. She was up and around today, took a few short walks down to the nursery and back, and is eating fairly regular meals- that is if you categorize hospital food as a "meal". It still, though, is pretty painful for her to get in/out of the bed with the staples in her stomach- a definite ouch!
As for Sarah, she had a great day. She slept a whole lot, ate about 6 different times, and cried just a little to make it seem absolutely adorable. I know, though, that the day will be coming very soon when her little coo/ cry will resonate through the house at an alarming high pitched volume. Actually the only time she was really peeved off at us was when the nurse brought her in from the nursery last night around 3:00 A.M. for her feeding. The look on her face was something like, "Do you have any idea what time it is? Don't you guys sleep around here?"- I certainly agreed with her- it was a short feeding for both mom and baby.
Josh and Marie were both very excited when they first got to see their new little sister. Josh, upon his entrance to the room, pronounced to Cindy and I- "It came out, Mommy!"- just in case Cindy hadn't noticed. Marie literally began to cry when I came into the waiting room
and told her she had a little sister. Both the kids are going to be great with Sarah. I just can't wait to get every one home this weekend. Three kids...three blessings...one incredible spouse...I'm a very lucky guy!

CONGRATULATIONS!
Wow! It doesn't get much better than that! You really have been blessed by God. Congratulations and don't forget to stock up on the sleep before your little darling comes home. As I remember it, the sleep deprivation was the worst (after the obvious pain of childbirth was over), because it lasts for so long - depending on the child. I certainly understand it to be a form of torture in some countries.......We'll expect your blogging entries to be a little more sporatic in the next few weeks. God bless you all!!
BEAUTIFUL baby and beautiful kids! Wow! Congratulations! Here's to enjoying every precious moment you have with these children that are truly a gift from God!
