The Baby's Here!

We are so proud to introduce everyone to the newest member of our family -- Liza Kate Lewis was born last night at 6:57 weighing 5 lbs 7 oz and stretching 18.5 inches. She's such a little peanut. And she's perfectly HEALTHY! Sara feels strong and is doing great. I'm so thankful that my girls are ok and that our family is complete. Wow.

Liza gets her middle name from my dad's mom, Kate Lewis. My grandma was so strong and truly was the matriarch of the Lewis family. She took care of everyone(grandchildren, cousins, etc.) and always made sure that we were ok. Liza started making sure Sara was ok long before yesterday. This pregnancy brought Sara's cancer out to a place where it could be found early. Then, Liza made it through some tough weeks when Sara started her chemo. Despite all that, she literally came into this world smiling. "Kate" just seems like the perfect middle name for the little baby who watched out for her mommy before coming into this world, was strong enough to endure a tough pregnancy, and smiled when we met her.

Thank you to all of you for helping us get this far. Your support, well-wishes and love gave us the additional strength we genuinely needed. Sara's battle is not over, obviously, but we know she'll be ok. We'll just tackle the remaining 5 months of treatment as we did the past 3. The only difference is that we're now a family of four!
