IT'S OFFICIAL

We are parents! The delivery process came to a close at 7:46 PM.
Once we found out that Amy was ready for delivery, they waited 45 minutes to let the epidural set in. Then only 45 minutes later Amy gave birth to our beautiful little girl. I cannot begin to describe how amazing it is to see your child be born. It was one of the most wonderful experiences of our lives. We certainly were not expecting to be in the hospital so early, but are so thankful that the process went so smoothly. Amy was amazing. She made it all the way to 9+ CM without pain meds. She did great and looks great as well. Thank you all for your prayers and excitement. Please do continue to pray for Amy and the baby. Amy is running a high temp and her white blood cell count is double that of what it should be.
For those of you who are curious about the details:

6lbs 13oz
17 inches long (I think)
the most gorgeous baby girl ever

She is BEAUTIFUL! We can't wait to hold her! Seth and Joseph were so excited they wanted to wake up Kate, but we told them they would have to wait until morning. We are so happy for you, your first baby is an unbelievable experience.
Love,

We can't wait to see and hold our precious little grandaughter at last. We regret that we were there to be able to witness this special time in the life and Kevin and Amy. We will hit the road in the AM and I am sure we will be flying hi.
Thanks to everyone for your love, prayer and support to Kevin and Amy and their daughter.
Birth is truly a miracle and blessing from God.

Much love and excitement,
Mom/Rindy and Dad/Bill

So excited that I didn't check the previous message before sending. We regret that we were NOT there to see the first moments of Baby Girl Sasser's life. Fredericksburg seems worlds away at a time like this. Memories do sustain us as we recall the birth of Kevin. What an amazing experience.
Sleep will be light tonight and travel will seem long until we reach "God's Country" tomorrow to see our little "Tarheel".

Love bunches,
Mom/Rindy
