After a few days of no blogging, it must be apparent that I wasn't near the computer for a while! Yes, Nicole Bethany has appeared on the scene. It is amazing how many prayer requests have already been answered, and we are so grateful to the Lord and those who diligently prayed. She was born in the hospital on Friday. She weighed 6 lbs and was 18 1/2 inches. I started having contractions at noon on Friday. We waited a while, then loaded up to go to the hospital again. We arrived there and I was dilated about 6 cm. So, this time we started the true wait in the labor and delivery room. I was so relieved that we were in the hospital that the contractions actually slowed down about 3pm. So, they gave me a little medicine and broke my water to start it up again. She was born then at 5:18, a relatively fast delivery. God was so good!

The entire family of 4. Natalie is such a good big sister!
We are now at home trying to establish some type of routine and adjustment. And, try to catch up on some sleep! The first night we may have slept 3 hours (Woody probably had 4). But, last night we slept at least 1 more hour than that each. We are so grateful to our parents for all the help and watching Natalie. Natalie even went to see a movie with grandparents while we were at the hospital...a new Veggie Tale!

Beautiful pictures! Congratulations to you all. Natalie, you are such an awesome big sister already! Emma says "hi!"
Thanks for visiting, it was great to see you in the hospital! You were right--hardly anyone comes to see the second baby other than family and clergy.
I agree about no one coming to visit the second baby. With Philip we were bombarded the first day, so when Braewyn was born we asked for no visitors the first day. No one came the ENTIRE three days we were in the hospital! Much easier though as grandparents were bringing Philip now and then.
