The Beginning

Everyone thought the little girl would come early. Grandma and Grandpa S. were thinking that Kara might be a Halloween Baby. Grandma H. came up a week before the due date (on November 2nd) to help Lee Ann get the house ready and to make sure she’d be here for the birth. Well, the due date came and went (November 8th) and no baby.

Kara had decided that she just wasn’t going to come on her own, so Lee Ann, Tyler, and Grandma H. reported to Greer Memorial hospital early in the morning on Friday, November 20th for an induction. Things progressed slowly until the doctor broke Lee Ann's water around noon. After that, there was no stopping Kara. Lee Ann started pushing around 4:00 pm, and Kara was born at 4:50 pm EST. Kara was a pretty small baby (especially for being 12 days late!) weighing in at 7 pounds, 0 oz and measuring 19 1/4 inches long. Everyone thought she looked just like her daddy with the dark hair, but we think she's much, much prettier...
