Ruby Joy

Let me introduce to you our newest pride and joy, Ruby...

Ruby Joy was born on June 6, at 4:33 p.m.  She weighed 9 lbs. 9 oz., and was 21.5 inches long.

We went in at 7 o'clock in the morning to be induced.  I was ten days over, and we were finally going to meet our little lady!  They told us it would be a couple hours before they could get to us, so we ventured across the hallway and hung out with our great friends who had baby Kora the day before (perfecto!).  It was such a fun and eventful time for our families to share together. 

About 10:15 or so, they came and got me, and we got settled in.  They did the gel about 10:30, broke my water about 2:30, and Ruby was born at 4:33.  It was hard.  Quick, but hard.  Her size blew us away, and made for my most challenging delivery.  She didn't even look like one of "our" babies at birth.  We couldn't believe it!  She was chubby as could be, her hair was a unique strawberry blonde, and she was sweet as could be.

The kids came to see her about 7:00.  They instantly adored her.




And now, a family of six...so in love.

Blessed.
