Rachael weighed just 4 pounds, 14 ounces at birth and dropped to 4 pounds, 5 ounces. Delivery was induced 5 1/2 weeks early due to preeclampsia. Fortunately, she was doing better than mom was...
Holding her was like holding a bundle of receiving blankets! She was, is, and always will be, My Little Noodle.

1 day old.
