Introducing Rebecca Jean Voogt!

Rebecca Jean Voogt
7lbs., 5oz.
18 1/2 inches
born 8:00 AM, April 17, 2008

We arrived at the hospital at 5:30am this morning. After the usual preparation, 3 attempts to get the IV, and 3 attempts to get the spinal, the c-section started around 7:50. By 8:00, Rebecca was here! Dad managed to cut the cord, and Rebecca got cleaned while Mommy was stitched. Recovery time lasted a couple hours, and we were transferred to our post-partem rooom. Rebecca has been eating and sleeping well. Both she and Mommy are healthy and doing well.

It's Time!!!

Today's the day! We leave for the hospital in one hour. It feels very surreal. We are so ready and so nervous at the same time. We pray that everything will go smoothly and that by 8 am we'll have a new addition to our family. We'll post an update when we can.
