Weighed 7#11oz. 19" long
Sunday morning I started contracting around 5 a.m. I decided to go to the hospital around 11 a.m. and thought once I arrived it wouldn't be long but "our baby" had different plans. They were going to break my water since I was in active labor but when they went to do so they discovered Emma had her hand above her head and the cord was very close to her face. Both of those factors can be scary in labor and delivery so I was glad my nurse and good friend Kelly was overly cautious with us and our baby. Finally the baby moved into a better position and they broke my water around 7 p.m. Little baby Emma was born at 8:27 p.m. The delivery was a breeze and Jeremy and I were both shocked when the nurse said "it's a girl!" Kelly said our faces were priceless :) It was such a wonderful experience and we are so truly blessed to have our healthy baby girl with us now!
The boys are so excited to have a baby sister. They came up to the hospital after we had her and noticed right away they had a sister as we had put a bow on her head :) The 24 hours we were in the hospital Bridger anxiously waited at home for us to bring Emma home with us. He is going to be a great help and a wonderful big brother and example. He loves to hold and snuggle her. Connor hasn't quite picked up the concept that he has a baby sister but I'm sure he will soon enough. Emma is safe in her bassinet otherwise Connor is right in her face and pointing to all her facial parts (eyes, nose, ears, cheeks, etc) She was laying on the couch and the next thing I knew Connor said let's bounce and was jumping right next to her. Hopefully she survives day 2 of life :)
Welcome Emma Rachel!!!
