Sarah Elizabeth Capron

We added Sarah Elizabeth Capron to the family today at 12:04 pm. She weighed in at 8 lbs 4 ounces and was 20 inches long. That's a little bit bigger than Andrew and just a bit less than Owen. She was delivered at Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach via C Section which, although controlled and planned, was still a bit traumatic for Leslie and me. Nonetheless, both Sarah and Leslie are thriving. Sarah's had no trouble feeding and Leslie, other than trying to stay a step ahead of the pain medication wearing off, is recovering nicely.

Andrew and Owen are equally excited. They've not yet visited in person but thanks to Skype and a web cam, they had their virtual introductions earlier this evening. Owen seemed to like "Sarah" as a name (versus "W" and "Airplane" that he and Andrew had already agreed would be perfect choices), and Andrew was thrilled when he found out that "the baby came out and Mommy wasn't fat any more." Probably not a bad way to ease them into this new family set-up but we have a feeling they're going to be great, helpful big brothers.

Thanks for all of the thoughts and prayers. Looking forward to introducing Sarah to all of our wonderful family and friends. In the meantime, here's a few snapshots of the days events:

She is gorgeous and mommy and daddy looks so happy. Move over blue and welcome pink. She does look like her daddy and I am not talking her head....

Mazel-Tov and just love that little baby to pieces. Growing up with two older brothers - that sweet little thing will definitely let you all know she is bigger than all of you!
