Saylor Faye Swart

Saylor Faye Swart was born on Sunday, April 22, 2018 at 9:00 a.m.

Mom, Dad, and Avi headed to the Tri-Summit Hospital near Nashville, TN around 1:00 a.m.

Josh called his Dad around 4 to let him know it was definitely going to be baby day.  I was deep asleep in Ft. Smith at Rachel's with my phone off....Rachel had her phone off as well.  Jeff finally called Jonathan about 5 who came and woke me.  Jeff knew there were several things I needed him to bring so he couldn't leave the house until he talked to me.  He then headed my way, picking me up around 7:45 a.m.

We traveled in heavy rain and heavy traffic but it was all worth it!  We got the text and picture around 9:07 that Saylor was here and all was well!  Thank you, Jesus!!

She weighed 8 lbs, 6 ozs., and was 21" long - healthy and normal in every way!

 

 

 We arrived around 4 p.m. to this happy family (Josh's boss and family had already been to visit and had taken Avi home, so she wasn't there when we arrived)!

 Papa was in love!

 As was DeDe 💖

 Day Two -- Saylor is our first grandchild to be born with lots of dark hair!!

 So pretty!

 

 Nurses gave her a bath and fixed her hair with a bow added 💟

 So precious!

 

 Because Michelle tested positive with the Strep B strand, they had to stay in the hospital 48 hours to be sure Saylor didn't have it.  Thankfully, she didn't and they were able to head home Tuesday!

 Papa couldn't wait to get his hands on her

 Lots of loving to go around!

 The new Swart family!! 💖💖

 

 She's got such pretty eyes and a very alert baby.

 Our last picture with the girls before going to bed Wed. night as we headed home very early the next morning.  We sure did enjoy our stay in Tennessee in Josh and Michelle's pretty home with the family.  We also enjoyed visiting with Michelle's parents, Sheila and Danny West, who also stayed in the home.  Danny went home Sunday but thankfully, Sheila has been able to stay this week and help Michelle out since Josh returned to work.

 Saylor's first outing was Friday when she went to the doctor.  Everything was great!

 

 A picture Josh texted me on her one week birthday 😍😍

 And the most recent picture, Michelle texted me....11 days old.  Precious, precious baby girl.  The only negative is that she, Avi, Josh and Michelle live too far away from us!!  We are already longing to have her in our arms.  We love you, Saylor Faye, so much and can't wait til we can see you again!!!
