Please join us in welcoming the newest member of the family: Miss Elizabeth Jade Sparks! (Lily for short!) Our Lily Bug was born on Friday June 8th at 7:50 AM via c-section. She weighed 6 lbs, 3 oz. and was 19 1/2 inches long. She's a tiny thing, but so adorable we can hardly stand it!
Look at those big blue eyes! She's the most alert baby I've ever seen - seems like she's always awake! But she's a quiet thing. Just sitting back and observing everything.
Here's a photo with her big sister Korinne:
And here's a photo of Kory, the proud father!
Tandy was in labor most of the afternoon and evening of June 7th, and was admitted to the hospital just after midnight, so neither Tandy nor Kory got much sleep. Too excited to meet the wee one. So once she was here, they were more than happy to let the family fuss over the baby while they got a little shut-eye. In this photo you can also see the huge bruise on Tandy's arm. They had a hard time finding a vein for her IV, and stuck her 5 different times!
Another one of Lily Bug. Just taking it all in...
And, of course, I have to include a photo of Lily with her proud auntie! Hooray for babies!
