On December 1, 2008....Rebekah Marie Rasmussen made her appearance! It was a cold snowy night when I went into labor. The first snow of the season, actually. How ironic. :-) The maternity unit was busy that night, too. I think the drop in barometric pressure might have something to do with it.
Rebekah was born at 1:33 AM and weighed 7.5 pounds, 19 inches long. She is a pro at the sucking/swallowing coordination.
I felt good afterwards. That first shower after birth, is refreshing! I couldn't sleep that same night. I was overjoyed and looking forward to a Grandma visit before she had to go to work. The hospital provided us with a celebration dinner. That was delightful! Benjamin had steak. I had a glass of sparkling grapejuice with my meal. :-) We are so blessed with our new bundle of joy. Rebekah is a good baby. Eats well, sleeps for 2 hours at a time, and enjoys looking at the Christmas tree lights. I'll say she is the BEST Christmas present I have ever received!
