A Sunday Kind of Love

2 Sep

It seems the good things in our lives happen on Sundays and this past Sunday was no different.

Reese Elena Sanabria was born August 24, 2008 at 12:33 am weighing 7 lbs. 8 oz. and 19 1/2 inches long. I’ve been overwhelmed by the blessing of her health and Alexis’s quiet strength and beauty through all of this. Mommy and Reese are doing well. Mommy is recuperating from surgery and Reese is eating and sleeping like a true Sanabria. We are very fortunate.

Reese is growing everyday. We’re surprised already at how much she’s changed. She’s the most beautiful thing we’ve ever seen and can’t wait to share her with our family and friends. Here are a few pictures of the experience (a long and tiring day) and Reese’s first week in this world. Hopefully they hold you over until you can see the real thing. She’s amazing.

A good start.

After 18 hours of labor we headed to surgery and I was a bit concerned.

She made it out!

    She Is Adorable. Good Sized Baby And That Hair! She Looks Like Eric When He Was Born With All That Dark Hair Except She’s Got Bigger Brown Eyes … Like Alexis. She’s A Beautiful Combination Of You Both. God Bless You All. I Know You Are Very Happy. I’m Anxious To See Her In Person And Hold Her And Give Her A Big Kiss From Her Nana.

    Wish I Was There.
    Love You,
    Mom
