Hello everyone. I thought I’d send out a little update on how the Nelson family is doing. Baby Sadie is continuing to do very well. She’s growing more each day. I’m doing very well health wise. When we came home I was fairly anemic and so my energy level has been down. I’m on iron now and as long as I get sleep I feel great. Motherhood is amazing.

Let’s see… you all probably heard but at birth Sadie weighed 7 lbs 11 ounces and measure 20.5 inches. In the first two days she lost 10 ounces. The doctors reassured us that weight loss is very normal. Four days later our doctor was surprised to find out that Sadie had already gained 13 ounces. (She’s a good little eater.) Her slight case of jaundice is gone and Dr. Estep is very pleased with Sadie’s progress. Since the flu season this year is especially harsh he did advise us to stay away from large crowds for a couple of weeks (so if you haven’t seen us at church that’s why). It’s been hard not running all over sharing her with every one of you. We are slowly increasing our daily outings and hope to see you all very soon. We love having visitor so feel free to call and schedule a visit. Until we see you we remain yours truely,

Sara and Sadie N.

Baby Sadie

Hi everyone. This has to be kind of quick since I have family coming over any minute. I just wanted to tell the world that I am officially a mommy. My daughter, Sadie May, was born at 10:00 AM Tuesday February 13th at the Skagit Valley Hospital. She was 7 lbs 11 oz and 29 inches long. Sadie is a great little girl who only cries when she is in need. Beautiful and pleasant she is her daddy's delight (and mine as well).

I'm doing well, slowly recovering from lossing a lot of blood and getting little sleep. Jason and I plan to stay close to home this week. So, if you miss us at church, know that we're are well, just resting, and we'll see you next week.

We've just gotten a camera so you'll begin to see more pictures as the days go by. Until next time...
