♥ Sadie Amelia!

on may 31st at 1:45 in the afternoon, our beautiful daughter, sadie amelia,
 made her way fast and furiously into this world!

within moments of receiving my glorious, life-renewing epidural,
she was here--all 9 pounds, 1 oz of her!!-
we fell instantly in love. 

♥

henry has been preparing to be a big brother my entire pregnancy,

and it has been heartwarming to watch the care and attention

 he paid to his sister when she was in my belly. 

now that she is actually here,

i can already tell that he is so proud to have a little sister, and 

already feeling more confident in his new role. 

...we just have to remind him that sadie is not a doll!
