Introducing Emma Rae

So, it happened.

Emma Rae was born on Thurs, May 18th at 4:50pm.
9lbs 3oz, 21 inches long, 9/9 apgars.

I started out trying it w/o meds but ha ha, about halfway through I was ready for a change. Had to get 2 (!) epidurals because the first one didn't take, ugh! But then a very uneventful last half of labor, hour and 20 minutes of pushing, and finally, a healthy baby girl!

Got home yesterday around 6pm, and have had a good time settling in at home so far. Tired! Sore! But healing well and on the mend. She has quite the sucking reflex...yeowch!

Can't believe she is in my arms as I type. The world is changed....

Ohhhh! She is such a darling!!! So glad to hear that you are both home and doing well. The first few days home are a huge adjustment, but I'm feelibng much more confident at one-week home, so hang in there. Enjoy your little baby and huge hugs and congratulations!!!

What a beautiful family! I think Dad is smitten, as well he should be! I'm thrilled to know that Emma has joined us. Take care of yourselves and enjoy the little miracle of Emma Rae. Hope to see her in person soon.
