She made it! Born on Thursday 02/21/2008 at 9:25 am, weighing 8 lbs 12oz, and 19 inch. Long! She came a little early, which is great because she was already 8 lbs! My water broke on wed. afternoon, I called Nathan at the office not sure about what to do. I then called my Dr. and he told me to come in and get checked. Nathan came to get Becca and I, and we took off to the hospital. When we arrived they did some tests to check my water levels, and I was low. Hours later I still was not having any contractions, so they started me on Pitocin to get me started into labor. It took all night to get contractions going, and by morning it was becoming very painful! I finally was going to have them give me an epidural (I really didn't want to, I'm afraid of needles). But right as they sent the guy into give me one, I felt like I had to push! It was kinda scary I didn't think I could hold her in anymore, the nurses were scrambling trying to get everything set up and get my Doctor in there! Anyway I was in so much pain that I was determined to get Rachel out quick, so it took me about 4 minutes and she came flying out (not kidding). Her whole body all at once, no one was expecting that. So there you have it all the wonderful details, that I am sure you wanted to know. It was so incredible to see her once she came, it really is just like looking at a piece of heaven. She is such a sweet, sweet little girl I can't believe how much love I have for this little person!

congratulations Lord family! I love the name that was finally decided on! She's a sweet little princess, and you are right, it's amazing how much love you feel for each child. Elder Holland shared this in our Stake Conference in January, "Love shared is not divided - it is always multiplied! That is the magic of mathematics in the Kingdom of Heaven."
