Welcome Baby Rebeca

Today, July 19, 2009 Rebeca Anderson was born at 7:52 am here in Reno at Saint Mary's hospital. Last night we went to see Harry Potter with Micah and Camille and about half way through the movie Ruth had a couple of pretty good contractions, but we didn't think much of it. With Massey she had tons of contractions for days before he was born so we thought we still had a long time before Rebeca would be born.

At about 5:30 this morning Ruth woke me up because she was having more contractions. I had already been woken up lots of times in the night by Massey. We were going to just leave him with Ruth's parents on Saturday night (they were babysitting him for us while we went to the movie) but got a call at about 11pm letting us know that Massey wasn't sleeping and he was crying for mom. I went and picked him up and all of last night he didn't sleep well. Maybe he knew something was coming today.

We got to the hospital at about 6:20am and everything just fell into place. The doctor showed up almost immediatly and the surgery started about an hour after we got here. Here are some pictures/video of the birth. She weighted 7.1 lbs and was 19.5 inches long

Now we are just hanging out in room 250 in Post-partum getting visitors. Thank you to everyone who has helped us physically, or with prayers.
