Cheaper by the Dozen

On January 7, 2010 my baby sister had her first baby. Baby sister of course only refers to the order of things. She handled the labor like a pro and has an entirely new world opening up to her. One that she will teach me about when the time comes. Still, when it comes to Sarah I have always had older sister protective tendencies and the overwhelming need to take care and defend.

Now it's her turn to take care of someone else. Sawyer James Turben makes the 12th grandchild of Am and Jarda, 6th nephew, and 4th godson of mine. The feeling of a new baby in your arms is one of the best no matter how many you have and I can hardly wait to hold this little creation come February.

Throughout the pregnancy Sawyer had already taken on traits of his father. Mom was calm and mellow and happy throughout, just like baby. The little bean would respond to his Daddy's voice at night and kick like crazy when Mom had sweets. Time will tell how the little guy turns out but I can already see Sawyer and Jamie walking around the back yard feeding the birds. Buds since birth.
