Rachel made shirts for all of the girls to tell them when she found out that she was pregnant that said, "The best sisters get promoted to aunt." They wore them on the day of delivery at the hospital proudly.
Mary was the first sister to guess Susannah's name so she got to be the first sister to hold her.
Lydia didn't get to be at the hospital all day so she was bouncing off the walls to get to see the baby.
Rachel looked so beautiful all through delivery. She took the smallest amount of medication and no epidural. She is so strong and is healing quickly.
Hannah spent much of the day on the phone with Adrian's family keeping them up to date on progress.
Sarah had a camera in her hands the entire day but was overwhelmed with joy when she finally got her hands on Susannah.
When Rachel was born, I didn't think I should have any more children because I was afraid that I wouldn't love them as much as I love her. After Hannah was born, it was apparent that not only could I love another child with the same fierceness but that a sibling's love would be just as strong. I am thankful to God that He gave them a love for one another.
