Sarah Katherine
born: 7/10/07 @ 2:40am
10 ounces
7.5" long
Calley is home from the hospital now and is recovering physically very quickly, but we did lose Sarah. She was born too early Tuesday morning and did not survive the delivery. We did get to spend some time with her, though, and she and the time we shared were beautiful.
We have heavy hearts now and grieving to do ahead, but at the same time we're thankful that Calley's health is improving and for the love and support we've received from family, friends, doctors and nurses over the last two weeks.
Sarah, you will be missed, but never forgotten.
