The Beautiful Particulars


* 8 pounds 1 ounce of baby girl was born on October 23 at 10:18 p.m.

* Upon arrival you shocked everyone when you came with LOTS of brown curly hair and dark skin. (The dark skin came from the cord being wrapped around your neck!)

* After mom shed a few tears of joy, it is discovered that you have very long skinny fingers and a cute button nose.

* You couldn't wait to come into this world, you arrived after only 3.5 hours of labor. (A clear winner in this household!)

* After arriving in our room at 1:45 a.m., mom and I fell asleep together - both exhausted!

* Mom writes in her journal, "We snuggled and I thought she was an angel for letting me sleep! We spent most of our time together in the hospital alone and I thought it was so special!"

* We arrived home 2 days later on a beautiful Sunday afternoon.

YOU WERE A GIFT!

Happy Birthday - Rachie!!
