3+ weeks early!!!

baby Rell has arrived. we had her at 8:15 sunday morning at home. it was the most amazing experience i have ever had and i would love to tell the story about the home birth. i will update in detail hopefully tomorrow. the whole family is healthy and doing well. rell weighed in at 6 lbs 11 oz (exactly 1 lb less than what i weighed) and was 19 inches long. she is absolutely amazing.

we are still asking the phone calls and visits to be very minimal the next few days--please call us first if you need to see her. we just don't want to interrupt the sleeping schedule of any of us--since it is very sporadic. thanks for the understanding.

i will post pictures tomorrow and give more of our story.

mike was also very supportive and did so much better than i ever imagined. he is truley a natural at all the daddy stuff ;)
