Harper Kyle Rucker

Harper Kyle Rucker was born March 16th, 2010 at 5:39pm. She weighs 7lbs 10oz and is 20.5" long. After the epidural, the delivery was smooth sailing. Seriously, I have been to many a spa but those all pale in comparison to the relaxation I felt with an epidural. Did I mention I got to have not one, but TWO? The first one didn't work but the second one sure did and it was well worth it.

Harper's birth was such an unbelievable moment. I could not and still cannot believe that our family is now complete and that we are parents. It's exciting/overwhelming/scary all wrapped into one but I wouldn't trade it. She is such a perfect little girl.

Clark has been absolutely perfect throughout everything. So attentive to both me and Harper. It has been great to see him take on the role as dad and it has made me realize how lucky I am to be his wife. Here are the pictures below. I have tried to upload some to facebook but they won't let me for some reason. Hopefully there will be more online soon. Meet, Harper!

Do you see all that hair?! It's like a golden brown but it's no wonder I had acid reflux for the first time in my life for the last couple of months. No fun!
