Haylee's here!!!

Haylee arrived yesterday around 2:30 pm, 19.5 inches long, 6 lbs 4 oz, our heaviest child.  She is doing well. 
 


Rebecca is doing good also.  She went all natural, no epidural, no induction, nothing.  

Haylee tried coming out face up, which makes delivery much more intense for the mother, according to our Doctor.  At the last minute, after Rebecca had to push a lot more than usual, Haylee did a 180 and turned her self the right way, or easier way.



The Kids are happy to have her here.  Tierra was excited for a sister.  
Eli wanted a boy, but says she will do for now.  He did ask how long it takes for her to turn into a boy though.

Congrats you guys! She's darling! I can't believe she's your biggest baby so far. She looks so tiny.

It looks like we're probably the last members of the 2 kids club now.

Wow Rebecca, I'm impressed! I had one natural (not on purpose) and never did it again!! Haylee is soooo cute with all that hair, I love it. Congratulations. You two have the cutest little family. If Eli keeps asking for a brother I have 3 for sale:)

Congrats Simons family! What a cutie! I love that hair. Sorry Eli, unfortunately you can't pick what you get ... apparently I didn't particularly like my sis when she was born and wanted to take home an Indian Boy. Maybe mom and dad will have another boy sometime :) P.S. - Rebecca, no drugs is the way to go! I believe in that crazy sort of thing! But the face up thing is never good. Glad you're in one piece. Best wishes for a speedy recovery and a baby who believes in sleeping at night!

LoVa you Guys! Natural is the BEST way to go!! -- didn't you feel GreaT after having her?! -- (I did after having Asha)so much better than drugs!-- Welcome to the " No Drug Club!"

Congrats Chad and family. I'm impressed you waited to find out her gender. I'm not a fan of suspense like that, but think it's fun when others are brave enough. She's beautiful. I'm glad everything went well.
