Sarah Elaine Tucker - 6/11 @ 7:11

Julie and I went into the hospital at about 8:00 PM on Wednesday 6/10/09. Previous to this, we were watching the show "Wipeout", which happens to be the most hilarious show ever, and Julie's contractions were getting stronger and stronger. So we got our things together, hopped in the car, and drove over to Olmstead Medical Center.

Julie was so excited to meet Sarah that she couldn't help smiling despite the pain that accompanies early labor. I guess most girls give grave greetings at the hospital, because the nurses commented that usually the distressed damsels don’t display Julie’s delighted demeanor. Since Sarah is our first child, we didn't know what what to expect, and as it turned out we were in for a long night. But as the sun began to rise the next day the nurses delivered a priceless gift to our new family - Sarah Elaine Tucker.

Sarah Elaine Tucker: born on Thursday, 6/11/09 at 7:11 AM weighing 7 lbs. 9 oz.

Sarah cried for about half an hour while the nurses were doing their measurements and proceedures, but she soon calmed down after the commotion subsided. After an eventful and emotional night, everyone was tired and so we all got some well-needed rest.

Momma Tucker and Amelia also came Thursday morning and got to meet Sarah. Here are some pictures from Thursday and Friday.
