Welcome, Rebekah!

I just wanted to let everyone know that on January 26th, at 9:13 pm, Rebekah Christine arrived. She weighed 7 lbs. 6 oz. and was 20" long. She did very well and was healthy in the hospital, and we went home only 24 hours later (I don't sleep well in unfamiliar places).

Life is going okay. We've had some rough nights, some fussy times, lots of tears (hers and mine), but everyone is settling in and getting to know one another. My husband has been a huge help. In fact, he has been asleep for almost 7 hours now, and is about to get up to relieve me of baby duty. Which is great, because she screamed from 6 - 9:30 with only some rests. It was not fun, and his "shift" is going to be a heck of a lot easier than mine was!

Things will slowly get back to "normal" for us over the next couple of weeks, as we all keep getting to know each other and figure out our new routines. Soon it will be better...only the beginning is hard. :)
