“Sage Jill Cusick 💕💕 7 lbs 10 oz 19 inches tall • • • • • Our perfect little angel was born 8 days early on November 2nd, 2020 at 6:07 am,” Lindsay wrote on Instagram.
“I woke up to my water breaking around 3:30 am at home in bed and contractions started immediately after,” she continued. “Sam and I grabbed everything and headed straight to hospital. Baby girl was still breech and I was progressing very fast so we prepped right away for C-section delivery.”
“We could not be more in love with her and feel blessed beyond words to be her parents,” Lindsay added. “She entered this world on the same day that we lost Sams beautiful mother just one year ago and we couldn’t help but see God’s hand in this and know that Sage was handed down to us by her beautiful angel grandmother, Jennifer Jill Gillette Cusick. Thank you all so much for the love and support you have sent our way â¤ï¸â¤ï¸”
