My Latest Joy

Posted by Kat at 5:55 PM

She is finally here! I began wanting her desperately almost two years ago and God has finally brought her into my life. She was born just hours after her expected due date which surprised us all since her siblings were both a week late and she had shown no signs of arriving early. My labor started around midnight but I didn't believe it could be the real thing so I took something to help me sleep. When I woke three hours later in excruciating pain, I realized that I may have been mistaken. I timed the contractions, called my wonderful doctor and we drove to the hospital at five in the morning. My husband and I were discussing the possibility of false labor when our six year old daughter interrupted us and boldly told us that we needed to pray. With proud smiles, we listened to the prayer of our first angel who prayed for mommy to be okay and her sister to be healthy. That was a proud moment for us and one we will never forget. By eight in the morning we were listening to the wonderful sounds of our daughter being born and I was nursing her by nine. She is the most beautiful baby and so very sweet. I feel extremely blessed to have been given the honor of being her mommy. Welcome to the world, little one.

    Liam and I were just taking a peek - he loved her Halloween outfit and told me to tell you that he's feeling better and wants to see her. He asked if you had to move to a new house because of the baby (the hospital room in the background). Wouldn't that be nice - every gets a new house with a new baby.

    Just like her siblings, Rebekah is beautiful!

    Liam and I were just taking another peek - one of his favorite teachers just had her first baby the other day, so he's been talking about Ms. Kathy's baby girl quite a bit.
