Thought I'd give a few details about our sweet Sara. She was born at 10:15 am on the dot and weighed 8 lbs, 8 oz. She is 21 inches long. This makes her 5 ounces heavier than Hallie and one inch shorter. (Of course, she was also 2 weeks earlier.)
She is nursing well and slept a lot yesterday afternoon and night. Apparently, being born is hard work.
As you see in the picture below, Hallie met Sara yesterday. She wasn't quite sure what to think. She touched her face, and I think she really liked how soft Sara's skin is (for anyone who doesn't know, Hallie is a really tactile little individual). And when Sara cried while they were bathing her, Hallie seemed genuinely concerned. But other than that, she was really more interested in emptying her Nana's purse than staring at the new baby. I'm sure this transition will continue to be interesting and that when the new baby actually comes home to her house, Hallie may have a few more things to say about it. But the initial meet and greet went very well, and Hallie entertained the nurses at the nurses' station with her prissy little walk and big grin.
We are doing well this morning. Sara is seeing the pediatrician right now, so I'm going to enjoy my breakfast and wait for her to return. Thanks again for all the well wishes! We are so very blessed.

If Hallie is anything like our Elizabeth, you won't need a baby monitor any more because Hallie will come and find you when Sara is crying...
