On Monday afternoon, May 4th, Clare Addison joined our family. She made a quick entrance - I wasn't even sure I was in labor when we went into the hospital, but a short while later, she was born. We are just so thankful to have her here and doing so well!
Clare was 8 lbs, 3 oz and 21 inches long. She was so alert at birth, but we have barely seen her eyes since. She likes to sleep apparently! (hoping this continues) Right now I am snuggled up in bed with her on my chest for some afternoon cuddles, her favorite way to nap.
I'll post more pictures soon!

She is just precious!! Thanks for the picture.
It's so great to hear you are doing well! And can't wait to hear more! Love to you!
I am a lurker here! Can't even remember how I found you but I have been checking back to see if your sweet baby girl arrived and had to say congratulations! We have two daughters (16 and 13) and two sons (11 and 9). Enjoy these sweet moments. It goes so quickly!
I enjoy reading your blog! May your joys be many and your transitions smooth as you welcome sweet Clare to your family!
Many blessings,

I need to get over to see you both, and have some snuggle time with Clare.
She's beautiful! Congratulations!
Glad you are finding time to snuggle with your sweet little Clare. So what is it like having a girl after two boys? She's such a cutie and I can't wait to see more pics. SLEEP!
Congratulations! Normally I can't tell when babies look like family members, but I definitely see both Simon and Ethan in her already!

She is so cute, Rachel! I am so thankful that she is here, safe and sound and in your arms! What a gift from the Lord! I am praying for you and can't wait to meet Miss Clare Addison soon! Love to you all!
Congratulations on your beautiful, precious little girl!! I'm also a lurker here, I think I found you through Crystal's blog (Biblical Womanhood) ages ago.
I live in Australia now (but lived in Kansas while I studied part of my degree at KU) and have one baby girl - 7 months old. I have enjoyed reading your previous posts about motherhood, and also your experiences with painting furniture :)
Praise God for your new baby, I pray that you will both get good rest and that your family will all manage the change well. I would love to hear your birth story if you feel to share.
