Here is a recap of my sweet Sallie's BIRTHday. {for my memory more than anything.} This story is pretty short and sweet though. Not a lot of details b/c there wasn't a lot of time for details. :)
I had already progressed a good bit {4cm 80% effaced} when I got to the hospital around 7:30. My water was broken at about 12:30. I went from 5 cm to 10 cm in about an hour. It was SO fast! I literally pushed 3 times and she was born {at 2 PM on the dot!} Everything happened SO fast. I still can't believe how fast she came! {Not sure why since Libby came super fast.} Our parents and Libby barely made it to the hospital!
Since I didn't know whether it was a boy or girl, I was super anxious and excited the whole time! It was SO fun being surprised though!! Although I was 90% sure it was a girl the whole time.
It was so fun when Nolen, my sweet Dr. and nurses said, "It's a GIRL!!" I will always remember that moment. It was so special!
Here are some pictures from Sallie's first few days...
big sister Libby!
Libby got Sallie a poodle and ballerina bunny!

papa who {hugh} and sallie
Libby loved visiting the hospital! I was so glad she could come up there, since the hospital was on "flu lockdown". I could only have immediate family members visit.
Sallie all ready to go home in her sweet gown. {I wore this home from the hospital and so did Libby!}
The sweater and bonnet that I wore home from the hospital swallowed Sallie! I was an 8 lb. baby though :) I have A LOT more pictures to post, but these are from her first two days. {I do have a picture of Papa Tom with Sallie that is on my other memory card, and I need to get one of Bessie with Sallie too!
More to come! Hopefully sooner rather than later. Blogging is kind of hard these days :)
Sallie is such a sweet lil doll. I love seeing the love in Libby's eyes for her sister. How much fun we all have to look forward to with these girls!
