Meet Alexandria Faith

What a day! We are overjoyed to introduce to you our precious baby girl, Alexandria Faith. She was 6 lb 10 oz and 19.25 inches long. She seems healthy and is precious. Mom is doing well, too. We never expected her to come 16 days early, so we were surprised. However, God's timing is perfect and we have seen how in many ways already. God answered so many of our prayers through this whole labor and delivery process. We are soooo thankful and praise Him. Some of the many ways God worked through this was:
* God's timing was perfect as Chris was in town and had not left for DC (he is supposed to leave this Sat. for 4 days)
* giving us time to prepare last night as the doc prepped us yesterday at my weekly check up that she would come any day because I was already dilated 5 cm (and not feeling any contractions)
* allowing my water to break this morning so I would know when to go to the hospital as I wasn't feeling contractions.
* allowing this to be a fast labor and delivery once checked into a room (less than 2.5 hours).
* giving us a great staff to help us especially my friend, Emily Richardson, the nurse we prayed we would have!!!
* giving Rebecca strength and focus and protecting her through it all
* Alex appears to be a healthy baby girl
* and more and more and more...
