New Baby!

This is Rachel June, she was born Saturday, May 17th, at 9:28pm. She is 7lbs. 2oz, not far off from her sister who was 7lbs 3oz. Unlike Addie, who was one week past due, Rachel was one week early of May 25th. She has brown curly hair and blue eyes (for now). We are so excited to have the new addition to our family!

Kelli was her usual amazing self. The pain was sharp, but short. We arrived at the hospital at 8:30pm. Kelli was at 6cm when they checked her at 9pm. Everything went incredibly fast after that. I was taken by complete surprise. It seemed like one contraction she was saying, "It hurts, it hurts!" The next was, "It stings, it stings," and the one after that was a HEAD! The two nurses did a really great job at handling the fast little new comer. The doctor didn't make it there until about 2 minutes after the birth. Kelli looks great and feels instantly better. I am so proud of her.


I'm the proud father. The whole thing seemed so fast. I was feeling worried without the doctor there, but Kelli, the baby, and the nurses did just fine. With it all over by 9:30, we all even got a good night's sleep! How nice.
This is Kelli and Addie at the parade on Saturday morning.
