There's so much to share, and so little space! So here's the most important stuff:
Rebekah Grace Girdler was born on June 22, 2010 at 12:31 pm. She weighed 7 pounds, 10 ounces, and was 21 inches long. I was in labor for only 5 hours - was checked in to the hospital at 6:30 am, and started the induction around 7:30 am. By about 12:25 I was ready to push, and at 12:31 we welcomed our sweet Rebekah into the world.
Both she and I were doing great, so we got to go home the very next day! 
Praise God for his grace and mercy!! The whole time we were at the hospital, Katie was at home with my parents and Tim's parents. What a blessing to have them all so close by - Katie had a blast playing with her grandparents, but she was definitely ready to have Mommy and Daddy back home! What a great girl!!The following Friday morning, we awoke to a knock on our bedroom door (at like 3 am). It was Katie, who had climbed out of her crib (for the first time ever), opened (and shut) her own bedroom door, and was wanting to be with Mommy and Daddy. So that solidified the decision to get her a big-girl bed! Now she sleeps in her little bed every night, and gets up and plays in her room in the morning until Mommy or Daddy comes in to get her up!
We've been enjoying our family time this summer -- lots of changes, but we're loving every bit of it! We are so blessed to have two happy, healthy girls. Katie has been learning to swim in our pool, and she has had fun playing on the playground in the park - swinging, sliding, playing on the bouncy toys . . . . what a fun time for her to show that she's a big girl!
