We are thrilled to announce that our little Rebekah Jane arrived at 12:07 p.m. on December 27th! She weighed 8 lbs. 6 oz. and was 19 inches long. She is so perfect and beautiful... we can hardly believe it.
Bekah Jane is named after my sister, Rebekah, and my grandma, Betsy Jane. Since we kept the name a surprise the whole pregnancy, it was so awesome to share it in the delivery room with my family shortly after she was born. My sister made it home from the Dominican Republic in time to see her niece's birth, and what a special moment that was to tell her this little one has her name. I'm pretty sure even the nurse was crying. =) We could not think of a more beautiful name or a more beautiful person to name her after.
Everything about her birthday was an answer to prayer! We prayed that God would make himself known in her delivery, and that was so evident! She arrived safe and healthy after just 2 hours of not-so-bad labor. Who can ask for anything more? It is such a miracle, and we thank God for ALL of his blessings!
Ezekiel seems pretty excited about his new friend, too. Introducing him to his sister in the hospital was just about the cutest thing I've seen. He just kept giggling and pointing at her and tring to touch her with one little finger. And he laughs and says "baby" every time he comes over to her now. So sweet.
Ok, so here's what you've been waiting for... pictures! And MANY more to come!
Kevan was an awesome labor coach... I am so thankful for him!
