Sandi Lynn Owens' Birthday!

Well it's been a week since our little girl was born and we've had so much fun learning how to be parents:) We went to the hospital early Thursday, November 12th for a cesarean delivery. Everything went really well with the surgery except for the fact that they still had to use the vacuum to get her out! That's right, our little girl was too cozy in there. As soon as they got her out the assistant surgeon said, "I sure hope you have bows because this girl has a lot of hair." She looks just like her daddy (but a girly version of course).
Her stats: Sandi Lynn Owens; 7 lbs 150z; 19.5 inches long; time: 11:13am. After they cleaned her up Aaron got to come put her by my head. I was throwing up from the morphine so I didn't really get to hold her right off like I wanted to but we still bonded immediately after I felt better which was the neatest feeling in the world. We finally got to come home 3 days later and we were all excited to get into the swing of things in our own home. Aaron is such a great daddy and he loves to calm her down when she's screaming during diaper changes:) I'm very lucky to have such a great husband to help out and wake up with me during the night when things aren't going the best. She's a great baby and is so good to be patient with us new parents while we learn how to take care of her. Here are some pictures of Sandi's birthday.

She's finally here!

She's letting us know with her little hand that she's A-Okay!

Finally meeting little Sandi. I just wanted to give her a big hug but of course they're too fragile

Proud dad! (notice the hair resemblance)

The nurse let Aaron pick out her first hair bow. When they brought her in like this I got emotional. She's perfect!

Grandma and Grandpa Owens got to meet her in the hospital too

Tatum and Matt came to visit. Sandi loved looking around to find Matt when he moved or talked

Finally home! Her little cheeks plumped up once she was home and eating better. I just love this picture of her (even though it looks like I should have supported her neck better. I'm still learning!)

All in all Aaron and I couldn't be more grateful for how things went and how fast I've been able to recover. Our little girl is perfect and we love to just stare at her, read her stories, play on the floor with her and dad is of course trying to get her to enjoy basketball games so I get things done around the house while they watch games together. Thanks to everyone for your help and support. We appreciate all the congrats we've received.
