So Sweet!! I still can't believe we're parents! Rebekah has taken to nursing so well that she will no longer take a bottle. Hmmm... how's that going to work?

Grandpa Jerry's chance
Grandpa Jerry wanted everyone else to get a chance to hold Rebekah. We finally convinced him to hold her.
I'm an aunt!!
Back in the hospital room now...Lisa holds Rebekah for the first time. It's about 9:00 pm now.
The hospital has me till wrapped in a warmed blanket with ice on ... you know where... Food is on the way! YEH!!
Hospital staff threw a million forms at me to read or fill out. Don't they know I just did the BIGGEST thing of my life??
Don't they know hormones are fleeing my body and my brain is fogged!!
Dazed and Confused!!
What have I gotten myself into??!??Wow, I already look like I'm in over my head... but man do I look young!!
Rebekah looks suspicious and not tickled to be born. She looks around trying to figure this place out.

Just 3 days after 9/11, Rebekah came into the world. She was wonderful but it was a scary world she was entering. We wondered what would happen next.
She wouldn't eat at first since they had suctioned her so much. And the first feedings were hard to figure out and nerve wracking! But we figured it out within 3 weeks!
