Welcome Bethany Joy!

 We are so excited to welcome Bethany Joy McGuirt to our family! She was born July 6, 2014 at 10:35 pm. She weighed 6 pounds and 8.8 ounces and was 17.5 inches long.

 I woke up Sunday morning with signs of labor and it quickly became apparent it really was labor. I had both Rachel and Bekah very quickly. Both of them were born within just over an hour of arriving at the hospital. So since the hospital was about an hour away, we decided we should head that way very quickly. Keep in mind, I had several people throughout this pregnancy tell me that third babies often take longer. I would just smile. Yes, I should have listened. Yes, Bethany Joy decided that she had her own time to come and yes, our third was my 15 hour labor! She is worth every second of it though and we are so glad she is here safely!



 Here she is hanging out with Mom and Dad and also Skyping with her two big sisters. Doesn't she look like she is waving to them? It was so sweet to watch. She opened her eyes and started looking all around for them. We are so looking forward to when they get to meet her in person.


 Here we are headed home from the hospital.
 Once we got home, we began to look at newborn pictures of all the girls and we quickly realized how much alike they all look.

Welcome, Bethany Joy! We love you so very much!
