Sarah is 1 month old today! We can’t decide if it seems like it’s been a month or not. On one hand, it seems like she’s been a part of our family for a long time. On the other, it all still seems so new that we really haven’t gotten a grip on things yet!

We ventured out to church today with not-quite-2-week-old Sarah. It was great to see friends and get back into the swing of things a little bit. We got there a little early, knowing it would take several minutes to make it through the atrium and into the sanctuary with a new baby. :) Sarah was wide awake and alert when we got there, ready to greet everybody! She was great during church; she fussed a little bit when she got sleepy, but I just stepped out with her for a few minutes until she was asleep and then rejoined the service for the remainder.
She wore the same dress Anna wore for her first Sunday. Here we are, ready to go:
This past weekend, my brother and his family came in to meet Sarah. Saturday was a beautiful day so we decided to spend some time at the park so the bigger girls could play. Sarah pretty much sat there in her stroller and slept. :)
The photogenic Kendall, always ready with a grin:
Big sister Addie (Addie and Anna are finally getting old enough to play together some!):
After our two days in the hospital, we were ready to come home. I wanted a going-home outfit for Sarah, something cute but still practical. When I found this little outfit with a dog on it, that pretty much settled it. :)
Little Sarah Brooke Felio joined our family on Tuesday at 11:44 A.M. She weighed 7 lb. 10 oz. and was 18 1/2 inches long. She came out healthy and demonstrated her good strong lungs for us right away! This experience was totally different from Anna’s birth in that (among numerous other things) I was much more aware of what was going on, so I was much happier about that. (I found out that what happened last time was the epidural went up the wrong way and made me really out of it, so I barely remember anything.) I was glad to feel like more a part of the experience this time, even though all I really did was lie there. :)
A kiss for Sarah Brooke:
Finally, I’ve got both my girls, and couldn’t be happier about it!
