This morning at 8:41 little Laurel Elizabeth came into this world at 7lbs 3oz and 21". The moment was beautiful. It was one of those moments that will be etched in my heart forever. I was overcome with joy. She is beautiful; she has a full head of black hair and Sherrie's eyes.
Well, since it was a long night, I left Sherrie and Laurel in the capable hands of the hospital staff and went home to get a little sleep around 11. Then around 5:30 I brought the kids in to see their little sister and mom. Sarah is such a sweet little soul. It didn't take her very long to learn how to say Laurel. She was holding Laurel just about as fast as she could say her name. She didn't want to let her go. It was great to see such love and joy coming from such a little person.
Samuel and Melody were also excited to have a new sister. Samuel wasn't as upset as when Sarah turned out to be a girl and not a boy. He's dealing fairly well with being the alternate man of the house. Melody is ...well, she's Melody...she wants to help so bad and is trying so hard that it seems a little overbearing (she can be somewhat of a mother hen). One of these years (MANY years from now) she'll be a wonderful mother. She is such a compassionate and caring person.
Sherrie is doing well. She looks great. I cannot express in words the love I have for her. I am so grateful for her. I can truly attest that I have been blessed in this lifetime more than I've deserved.

I LOVE the name!! Was that one of the votes? I remember Elizabeth but nor Laurel. I'm floored it's a girl ... thought for sure it was a boy. Maybe I was hoping for Samuel. I'm glad she finally came and all is well. Can't wait to see pictures!! Kim
