She's here!

Just a short post to let everyone know (if you haven't already received our mass emails) that our third child, Rachel Wendy Elizabeth, joined us by c-section on Monday, May 28 (Auntie Angela's birthday, too!).

Thankfully it was not another 24 hour labor like our other two - I was very happy to be quick this time!! We went to bed late Sunday evening without thinking anything was happening, I woke Greg up at 3am, we got to the hospital at 4ish, and by 6:00 I was pushing! Unfortunately, after a while with no progress, they realized she was face-up (as Gavin was) and decided to do a c-section. Rachel was born at 8:01am on Monday.

We came home Wednesday (very different from the five days I was in with Gavin!) and are doing well. My mom arrived last night for a few days and so we are being well taken care of. :) The big kids are doing pretty well so far, Abby is just a tornado by nature so she needs constant watching to make sure she's not swinging the baby around or something! Gavin is a great helper and it's nice that he's old enough that he can still play outside, etc, even though mommy's busy with the baby in the house.
