We are home!

We got home today around 2pm or so. It is great to be home. It was nice having all of the help at the hospital, but there is something to being in your own home... (ask me again tonight though, feelings might change).

It's incredible. I am amazed at how easy it is to hold and watch her for hours. We feel very fortunate for having a healthy happy baby.

The labor process went well. Alison did an amazing job (she got her out in only 15 minutes of pushing). We went from "Hey, lets check if you dilated anymore" to "It's a girl!" in less than an hour.

She is great. It is amazing how you can feel a bond with your child instantly the first time you lay eyes on her.

Here are a few more pictures...

Anna and Audrey's gifts to their cousin Emma...


Emma all bundled up ready to make the trip to the car (about 20 feet of outside air :) )


All ready to go!


Emma getting a kiss from Mommy... Nana watches in the back


Emma trying on a new hat (it's cute, but a little too big for now)


Cody getting a few quick sniffs in (Emma seems to love her big brother... he helps keep her awake while nursing too)

Wow...she is so cute and cuddly! Children are such a blessing from the Lord....each one a miracle! You have both done a great job of keeping us informed all along the way and I know she will be so loved by so many!
I look forward to seeing her in person.
Love,
Aunt Ginger
