Ruth Elizabeth Sewell

Ruth was born July 27th, 2007. It was a good day, we went down to Cheyenne for a check-up (before we had stopped for free pancakes since it was Frontier Days they serve them in the morning), and when we got to the Doctor's office, he told us we were dilated 7cm, so we rushed over to the hospital, and about 11:15 am Amanda's water broke, then by 1:06 pm (Mountain time) Ruth entered our world. All is well with both Amanda and Ruth (Amanda did lose a little to much blood, but should be just fine). We are blessed to have some grandparents here to watch Abigail. And to have family there for Ruth's birth.

Some of the important information:
  • 8 lbs-8oz
  • 21" tall
We sure thank you for praying for our family, thanks so much! God answered some real prayers today!

Joel & Amanda

Brandon says that the new baby should have been named "Brandie" in commemoration of him since Ruth was born on his birthday!

And, ironically we ate some Baby Ruth candy bars this morning... must have been a good omen or something :)

We are so happy that you finally have little Ruth to love and to cherish. Congrats!

Love: Brad, April, Mark, Heidi, Aimee, Brandon, Alex... Ellie and Moose
