Rebecca Nicole Dyer is here!

Becca was born today at 12:27PM. She weighed in at 7lb 9oz. She was 20.25in long. And if they took a decible measurement of her screams, it would have been off the chart. This girl can scream. It was a refreshing sound actually. With Bella, all we heard was gasping, grunting, and wimpering when she was born. Becca came out fighting. The nurses gave her the loudest baby of the day award and one even came into our temp room and told us the staff was glad she is going home with us :) We are too! No NICU for this one.
After she calmed down from the trauma of being extracted from her comfortable home, she spent some time snuggling with us and getting to know us. It was a precious 90min before they took her to the receiving nursery.
We are sitting here now in the comfort of our hospital room. Becca is sleeping softly in her little rollaway basket. We will get to feed her shortly when she wakes up.
At this point, it's tough to say who she looks more like. I would guess Cat, but you all can decide for yourselves :)

Becca is absolutely gorgeous! I can't tell who she takes after yet, but I think she has her mom's voice. (Just kidding, Cat!) Congratulations to you all. What a beautiful family you are!
