Rosemary Elizabeth Adams

Here she is, the newest member of our family. She was born Saturday night weighing 7lbs 3.6 ozs. and 20.5". Jen doesn't feel like sitting in front of the computer at this time so this post won't be as eloquent, witty, or altogether informative as you're used to from us.

Basically, we went into the hospital on Saturday morning for a scheduled induction. Things started off pretty slowly as Jen spent most of the day lying around, not feeling many contractions. We were concerned that they were going to have to get more aggressive with the induction process but when Jen was checked out at about 4pm she was farther along than we thought. So they broke her water and things really got going. The labor got more intense but Jen was able to get through it without any pain meds. The labor was difficult but only lasted about 4 hours.

God was very gracious and answered our prayers and yours. Thanks to everyone for your support. We are going to be taking some time to adjust at home and won't be traveling long distances or making too many public appearances, but feel free to call or email us. We'd love to have visitors once we get settled a little.

And for those who are wondering, Cecily loves having a new little sister. She wants to be involved and "hold it". She also says Rosemary is "nice" as she pats her head. Rosemary was crying today and Cecily said she needed a "binky".
