Our Newest Addition

Hoo-Ray !!

Today, October 20th, we welcomed Lindsay Erin Palmer into this branch of the Palmer Family Tree. She weighed 8 lbs. and 2 ozs, and measured 19 inches long. Rachel was again, a trooper, during the whole thing, and yet again, a very short labor. We arrived, checked in, and were in the room by 10 AM then Lindsay made her appearance at 12:55 PM. There was another woman delivering in the room next to ours, and when Rachel said she had to push, I went to try and find a nurse. None to be had, and the doctor was AWOL, too. So, I hit the red cross call button on the bed, and went into the hallway to wait. Marcia (more on her later) came, and asked if everything was okay. I said that Rachel said she needed to push, so she came in, and checked. The doctor showed up 2 mins later, and then here's Lindser. She already has a nickname, too. They put her up on Rachel's chest, and she took one look at the baby, and Rachel says, "You're Momma's little Tank, huh?" Just a chubby, healthy baby, with a nickname only Daddy could love.

Marcia was our nurse today that helped deliver Lins. Marcia was also the nurse that helped deliver Allison, 4 1/2 years ago. Marcia was also the nurse that we took our LaMaize (sp?) class from in the hospital before Allie was born. We're officially inducting her into the honorary Aaron and Rachel Palmer family as an emeritus member. Anyone who is that involved in starting our family deserves it. Thank you also to Doctor Tucker, who was on-call this weekend, for delivering a healthy baby. She was great !!
