Welcome Emma Jacqueline!


Tuesday started off normal enough, us gushing over Ryan because it was his birthday, kids going to school, us to work....then at 10:42 pm Emma joined our family on her Dad's birthday!


From the first few contractions I noticed until she was born was about 5 1/2 hours.
She weighed 7 pds 15 oz and was 21 in long.



Ryan was telling people she was 17 pds, for some reason no one believed him. :)


The awesome nurse got us released at 5 pm on Wednesday (less then 24 hrs from when I actually got to the hospital) instead of having to stay until 10:42 pm!
Ryan brought Karson & Aubree to the hospital after school and they were so super excited! Aubree has been following me around asking to hold her and giving her kisses and being an awesome helper!


So far so good!


Thanks for all those that sent presents and well wishes! We are so happy and love our time away from work and with each other!

Hallelujah! She is beautiful. I can see you in her. I'm so excited for you and your entire family. What a true blessing. Enjoy your time off and hopefully your kids were okay heading back to school. I'm sure that was a fight. But, I'm sure you are loving time with just the three of you. Love you. Hugs and more hugs. Go get 'em mommy. She's is precious.
