This is Eric writing a quick note to let all know that our sweet baby girl was born on Thursday, October 7th at 7:56pm. She weighed 3lb 11oz and is 15 inches long. We had a doctors appointment on Thursday morning and when the doctor saw Rachel he knew that she was going to have the baby that day. He sent us over to labor and delivery to get put on the monitors so they could follow the contractions. The contractions were consistent enough to be considered in labor. The babies head was in position and they decided to break the water. Family drove up to be there and Rachel was progressing very well. Rachel did amazing and Clarissa was born. Unfortunately she was not able to make it through the labor and was stillborn. It was a very emotional and special time to finally meet her and hold her.
Rachel is now doing fine and recovering well. We spent two days with our baby at the hospital and held her every second that we could. She got a photo-shoot of a lifetime from the Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep organization and from family. We will add to the blog later. The funeral will be this next weekend. You may email us if you would like to know further details about the funeral.
