WE'RE HOME!!!! (edited to add pics and update)
We are home with Rachel Emily! We are totally, totally in love.
We are totally, totally in love with her! My induction and labor was "textbook" as the doctor says, and I really can't complain.
We did run into some complications as I am O+ blood, Bob is B+, and the baby inherited his blood type. She was severly jaundiced due to this incompatability and spent all day yesterday and this morning under phototheraphy treatment. That completely sidetracked breastfeeding, but I was pumping and we are hoping to get back on track.
Hubby just ran to pick up the rental pump and worse-case, I just exclusively pump. My milk has not come in yet, so the nurses were all confident that I should be able to produce enough milk without issues, but the baby may have issues due to being bottle feed while under treatment. For now - due to her jaundice, she must eat every 3 hours and the hospital gave us a paper bag full of those RTF formula bottles.
For everyone delivering at Good Sam - they are awesome!! Every doctor, every nurse was just incredible!! I had a great, great experience there and was sorry to leave this morning!! They take fantastic care of you!
I have some pics, but I need to upload which requires crawling under the desk, so I need DH to do that for me. Hopefully I will be back soon with some pics!! 
Update: Rachel was readmitted to Good Sam yesterday due to the blood incompatability issue  . It was so tough being home last night without her, but she is getting better and better - please keep her in your thoughts!!
