Update...

We made it home from the hospital on Wednesday! It has been a long road to get here and it feels so good to have Sara home with us. Everyone always told us to make sure and get sleep before the baby arrived and if we could have banked extra sleep we certainly would have. After being up from Saturday night at 11:00 until Sara was born Monday morning at 6:58am (and then for most of the day and night) it sure would have been nice to get a full nights sleep to reset the clock. But here we are, sleep deprived but thrilled to have a beautiful baby girl. That was definitely a traumatic experience that I don't wish to relive but the result is amazing! (Sorry if this isn't coherant...I'm a little out of it right now :-)

The only way to describe the first night home was horrible...we had a fussy little baby (man does she have some serious lungs!!). We think she had a bad case of gas (she already takes after dad :-) and screamed bloody murder the whole night. The good news is that after we survived that, she slept like a champ last night (ok, 2 hour increments seems pretty good to us right now). She is such a bundle of joy and we can already see her changing before our eyes. It's amazing how fast you can fall in love! Ryan is an incredible dad and has jumped right in and is a natural...Sara is definitely daddy's little girl! Here a few more pics for you to enjoy!

Thanks to everyone for their calls and emails. Sorry if we haven't gotten back to everyone, this has been quite the overwhelming experience. We appreciate everyone!
