Rachel turned five. Last night we watched some video from her birth. What a perfect day. Well, the one hour of the day we enjoyed before Rachel was born. We woke up at 6 am the day before and were hoping to get into the hospital for me to be induced. Well, we finally got to go in around 3 in the afternoon which meant I had her just after midnight. The epidural was perfect and she just popped out. . . well it wasn't too bad anyway. I remember being absolutely starved right after. The nurses didn't want to give me any food because they were afraid I would throw up. It took me awhile to convince them I needed more than soda crackers and sprite. After all was said and done, I didn't get to sleep until about 4 am, but it was worth it. Rachel came into our lives peacefully and beautifully.
I can't say that things are still so peaceful and beautiful but she is a lot of fun to have around. I love her so much. She had a fun birthday and we ended up with an impromptu party. The kids in the neighborhood just heard we had cake and ice cream in the backyard and they came out of the woodwork. Then, of course, since Ben went swimming for his birthday, Rachel wanted the same. We had a great time.
