Sarah Elizabeth Sommerhauser was born at 7:26 am this morning and entered the world at 2 lbs, 12 ounces and 14 1/2 inches long. She now shares the same birthday as Uncle Kurt and she can't wait to celebrate a future birthday party with him. Sarah was born at about 27 weeks and is doing remarkably well so far, but she will be at the hospital for several more months. Joella is also doing great and has been able to catch up on some sleep since she was having strong contractions all last night.
Sarah started out this morning on low oxygen and the ventilator, but by early afternoon she was only on room air and the ventilator. We took these pictures this evening right after Sarah came off of the ventilator for the first time. Sarah is being such a strong girl and Joella and I appreciate all of the love and support that we have received over the past several days. We definitely feel the love, and this support has enabled us to stay strong just like our beautiful Sarah.
