A lesson to all the guys out there: never guess a girl's weight to be more than it actually is, and especially don't get taught having told anyone that she weighs more than she actually does. Fortunately, I don't think our little girl will remember.
Tabitha Jeanne measured 22 inches long. Her head was a little over 13 cm. I guess that Moriah will continue to be the heavyweight of the girls.
Anyway, here are some pictures. The first is of one of the midwives, Melissa Brake, listening to Tabitha's heart and lungs.
She was sleepy, but she nursed like crazy..jpg)
I didn't realize that my hand was obscuring her face. Oh well. The picture conveys the whole proud--yet tired--Daddy thing. She was born at 2:06 a.m. It is now three hours later. Both Tabitha and Rebekah are sleeping, and I am about to follow suit. Just wanted give everyone a glimpse of the new arrival. I'll try and post more tomorrow.

You know, in that second picture, she looks like Nathan to me!

Congratulations to all of you! Hope Rebekah's labor went fast. Nothing more wonderful than the birth of a new baby! You two are going to have your hands full with that growing family of yours. They are all so adorable! God Bless you both!

Thank you, Jesus, for another miracle! Also thank you for the namesake. I feel very honored. I'm sure my mom is honored, too, however, when I talked to her this morning, she didn't know the name yet. :)
If Rachel thinks that she looks like Nathan, I wonder if she will have the Peter resemblance. Will have to see more pictures later.
Love you all,
Grandma
after seeing a lot of babies while up there, yes, I can really see a strong Peter resemblance in her.
Aww... She's adorable!
Funny, broke the boy/girl tradition. while this one be a rebel?

What can I say that hasn't been said already? Tabitha is absolutely beautiful. Congratulations! So glad to hear that the delivery went well. After reading your post before you announced your labor, I wondered if you were going to deliver really soon. You were nesting a little too well at that point. ~giggle~ Can't wait to see her and hold her. Take care of yourself and angel baby.
Jacob and Rebekah Tabitha is beautiful. Congratulations. I'm glad everything went well. May God continue to bless your family.
Love you
Pam
