Isn't she adorable!!  Daddy loves to snuggle with her and dress her in is favorite shirt (I love daddy).  She got her first bath the other day.  I forgot how hard it is to keep a hold of that wobbly head. Sorry Teresa but Rich was the first one to see her.  You will have to hurry and come down. 

She has been such a good baby for us.  We have had the normal long nights with out much sleep but that is part of being a new mommy and daddy.  She sleeps a lot during the day so I am able to get some stuff done.  We have enjoyed every minute with her!  

Jordan and Cheyenne are doing good with her.  They are proud big brother and sister.

Hospital Pictures












Here are some of my favorite pictures.  The first one is not of Donnie trying to kill me.  He was a big help while I was having contractions.  He was great through the entire thing.  He is one Proud Daddy.

Rachel has arrived!!



Sorry for the delay but we have been without internet connection until today.  She was born 4/13 at 1:30 pm.  Her weight was 7 lb 13.2 oz. and 19 in long.  As far as labor and delivery go, mine was really good.  I only had to give maybe about 3 pushes and she was out!! I will put up other pictures later and try to do the video.  Right now I am trying to get caught up on my 40 emails.

38 Weeks


How cool is this! I am now down the the last 2 weeks! I went to my doctor appointment on Thursday and I was dilated. I am already at 1 1/2 cm. Dr Elmer said that if I don't have this baby on my own by 4/17 that he might induce me on the 18th. It will depend on how much progression I have made between now and then. The only down side to doing this on the 18th is that it is also our 5 year wedding anniversary. I might talk to the doc about holding off until the 21st. Then again I am very impatient! Wish me luck over the next week!
