Rhea Lou was born on her due date (who knew that actually ever happened anyway?) at 6:30 p.m. weighing 7 pounds, 2 ounces and 19 and a half inches long! She is BEAUTIFUL...and I am not just saying that because I am a proud Auntie! Mama and the sweet girl are doing well!
I had the privilege of assisting Kate as she labored for a few hours and I am just in awe. Katie did awesome and I am so amazed by the power in a woman to labor and deliver precious little babies into this world. It is such a miracle...the whole process. I witnessed amazing strength and courage in my sister today and I am so incredibly proud of her!
Jude was quite smitten with Miss Rhea. (but who wasn't?) He really wanted to hold her but he settled for a little kiss on the top of her head. I simply can not wait for him to meet his baby brother/sister!
Kylee has yet to meet her newest cousin as she was on a date with her daddy, attending her first Father/Daughter dance. I have no doubt she will be quite taken by Rhea as well. I am now more anxious for the arrival for own little one. I love the experience of labor and delivery. Maybe that sounds crazy to some but even though it is painful and hard and kind of scary the reality of when you hold that precious one in your arms is just so incredible...one of the most incredible blessings I will ever know on this earth.

How neat to be at the birth! My sister said I could be in the room for her girls' births, but I have missed it every time. Since I have had all c-sections, I really want to be in there! Maybe on her next daughter. :)
