Dear Sadie

For the last nine months, you have been a part of our family. At first, you were a very quiet part of it, and the only sign that you were coming was that I was more tired than usual. Near the end, we all got more and more excited to meet you. Your sisters loved to talk to you and feel you move, and almost every day your sister Myka would remind you to "come out baby!!" It seemed like a long long wait, but then all of the sudden, you were here.

Last Thursday, June 5 is when you arrived. After two days of slow labor, and three hours of crazy fast labor, you were in my arms at 9:30 pm. Just your dad and I were in the room when you were born, but right afterwards Addison and Tegan came in to see you, along with your Grandma and Aunty :) It was a pretty special moment, and I'll never forget it!

Daddy and I thought that as soon as we saw you, we would know what to name you, but we still weren't sure. For three days you were "baby girl", and then we found the name Sadie. It means princess and when I told your dad that he said, "she's a princess" :) and we named you Sadie Ann. It suits you very well I think :)

Now it's been a week, and we fall more and more in love with you every day. Your sisters love to help me change you, and you almost never have to be put down because they are always asking to hold you. I don't blame them either...snuggling you is the most amazing thing! I could sit and hold you all day long I'm sure and not get tired of it. So far you are a very happy and content baby, and I have to say, I'm totally ok with your current nighttime schedule...keep it up, baby!  

Just over a week ago I wrote a post about how excited I was to meet you. I'm still excited every time I see you and realize that you really are here, a part of our family. You are number 5 of 5 girls, and not many little girls are able to say that! 

You are so special Sadie Ann, and we are so blessed to have you here.

Love,

Mom
