Rachel had her baby!

NATALIE LYNN FORD
This is Rachel's post from her blog...
So look who has arrived! Natalie came to join our family on Tuesday, April 8, 08.....4-8-80....isn't that a great birthday?! I went in that morning to the hostpital to get her turned.....she was breech. When the doctor checked- Natalie had turned head down on her own....good girl for not making me go through the 'getting a baby turned' process, I hear it's very painful. My doc decided just to induce me because if she turned breech again the chances for a C-section were much greater, I didn't want that! So we forced the little cutey out. I did get the epidural and it was FABULOUS!!! Natalie arrived at 8:47 that night (it was a long day!) she weighed in at
6 lbs. 15 oz. She was 20 inches long....10 fingers, 10 toes and perfectly perfect everywhere else! She is a great eater...and sleeper (all day she was anyway-we'll see how her first night at home goes!) So weird to now have a family of four children....bring on the chaos!!!!!!
Congratulations Rachel! I can't even imagine or comprehend having four kids.
Now we have two Natalie's in our book club. Yeah!

Natalie is beautiful - congrats Rach! I am so glad she is here and healthy and I am also glad you opted for drugs this time around. Way to see the light! :) Please bring her to club so we can all oohh and ahhh. Besides, you need to start leaving Brian with the rest of your brood. It's good for him!
