Congratulations!! Sawyer is beautiful - her big eyes & cheeks, and all of her dark hair. I'm so glad to see her pictures, I've been checking the blog often. Can't wait to meet her.
Praying with thanks for this precious gift into our family, and that Stephanie will recover quickly.

Becky -
You are SOOOOOOO RIGHT!!!!!
Brian and I got to see and hold her yesterday. As for the family pool, several people came very close. Of course, nobody guessed the name.Kristin & Scott nailed the date, but not the gender. Emily, Kim, Kelly, Anna & Kathy were each a day off,but did guess girl. I think the winner is Anna because she got within a day, the correct gender, & nailed the length. We're so thankful for a safe delivery and healthy baby.

I've been checking a lot and am so happy to see pictures!! She is gorgeous! The hair is unbelievable. I love the picture of Stephanie holding Sawyer on her chest. From what I CLEARLY remember - she's loving holding her new baby, but feeling prretty yucky from the "C". I was bummed to hear she had to have one. We'll give you a few weeks before we call to drive up with dinner.
(P.S. - I was hoping you'd choose that name!)

What a beautiful baby! We love the name as well. Looks like you'll be able to do some fun things with her head of hair; something I was never able to do with my kids (either bald, or peach fuzz). We can't wait to meet her. From the pictures, I see a lot of Stephanie in her, but then every once in awhile I remember what Rudi looked like as a baby. Congratulations!!
