You look so great! Rachel is precious. Congrats.
How do her features compare to Kate as a newborn? Does little Rachel look similar to her big sis.
Love the name. :-D
congratulations! she is beautiful! happy mother's day!
Congratulations to all of you! I love the pictures...thank you for sharing. I especially love the family one. Can't wait to meet the newest member in person! :)
Congratulations! I love the picture of Kate kissing her.
she is beautiful! and you look great! i love kate's expression in the last one.
Congratulations! Y'all are a great looking family.
Congratulations...she is a very pretty baby! Nice family picture.
She's so pretty! I'm impressed that you were at home and getting pictures the day after. And I love how Kate is looking at Rachel in that picture!
What a beautiful addition to a lovely family. I just love Kate's expression in the family photo. btw... You look great!!!!
I'm lovin' skipping around these blogs and "visiting" the new babies! Congratulations to you all. Rachel looks like a sweetie and I can't wait to fawn over all these pretty little girls when you return to church. It sounds like Kate was perfectly ready to be a big sister.
I will probably write more later, but yes, I did VBAC! Once I found that Rachel was NOT breech, I didn't have too many concerns about perhaps having to have a c-section (due to some complication in birth).
I'm doing fairly well. I would actually say that I felt the best the day OF the birth -- still living on the high. I have a cold & nasty cough which is a major complicating factor when trying to heal that whole pelvic region. You may ask why? Go ahead & cough, that should give you some idea. I also lost my voice, but have regained it some today. So, please pray that my cough will skitter away quickly AND that my sweet baby will be able to hear her sweet mama's voice instead of growly bear's!
Thanks for the pics. Gotta see those long fingers in a pic, ok?
Congrats Bailey Fam! She's beautiful! I love how Kate is looking over at her. I am so happy for you! You are such a wonderful mother.
Love,
Jamie A
