Adventures in Rodgersdom > Brooke's Birth
It gives me (Loren), Betsy, and Ethan great joy to announce the birth of Brooke Elizabeth Rodgers, our beautiful new baby girl!

After 28 hours of various stages of labor, Brooke was born at 11:18 am on Wednesday, September 2nd, at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, MD, by Cesarean section. She weighs 7 lbs, 13 oz, and she is 20 inches long. She has gray-blue eyes, and dark brown hair like her Mommy. While I am flattered by comments that Ethan takes after my features, I'm thrilled that Brook walks in Betsy's shoes. Her hair. Her face. The fact that she was actually early to an appointment (her due date was Saturday). We're praising God for her healthy arrival!

Below are some of her first photos. More to come. Lots more ;)
