Every inch of her is just adorable!

A gift From Allison

Allison gave Emma one of her stickers, she must like her little sis.

1st day home

We are home from the hospital and loving every minute with baby Emma. We are all a little tired but still happy! Allison loves her sister, she always wants to hold her and she makes sure I have EVERYTHING I need to take care of her...I usually end up with 3-4 burp cloths around me when I am feeding her. Emma is a very mellow baby she likes to sleep and eat, mostly eat!

Birth

For all of you who care to know here is how Emma's birth went...
August 28th
12:00am-Started having contractions
2:30- I woke Ben Up
3:00-Dropped Alli off at babysitters and Went to hospital
3:45-My water broke and I was dilated to a 5
4:00- I got my epideral
8:50-I started to push
8:55 am- Emma was born!!! (that's right, I only pushed for 5 minutes, infact I only pushed 3 times!)

The staff at Scripps La jolla was marvelous, I would recommend them to anyone. The postpardum rooms were filled so I had to be in a smaller but still private room after Emma's delivery. Now we are home and ready to start life with baby #2.
