We have a new addition! Sarah Grace NeSmith was born June 15, 2012. WELCOME!!!
Rachel and Stephen had to be at the hospital by 5 am so I drove from the temple and spent the night in Montgomery. I was updated when the drop was started and then all of a sudden she is 10 cm! But still they needed to wait another hour to push. I loaded Hannah in the car. She promptly fell asleep. I drove around and parked under a shade until she woke up. Cathy, Steve, Emily, Laura and Pamma were in the waiting room. I put my phone on speaker with Stephen and got to hear the first cry! So exciting. Then Emily got Stephen on FaceTime and we got the see all right after the birth. Technology! Rachel said she could not believe how easy this birth was. So thankful! Robyn guessed the closest time and Rachel guessed the weight.





It took close to 5 hours before Rachel was put in a room and the baby was cleaned and we were able to hold Sarah Grace. Hannah was afraid of her mama in the hospital bed but very curious about her new sister. She is wearing the Big Sister shirt given to her by Aunt Bev.
The following Friday was Lauren's (Stephen's sister) wedding day. It was fun to spend some time with the NeSmiths during this very exciting first week of Sarah Grace's life.
