You are so sweet

You sleep a lot right now, which is very typical of a newborn...you are just like your Mom was when she was a baby. And as you can see from the pictures...everyone wants to hold you!

You were born today

So on Oct 1, almost TWO full weeks after your due date your Momma texted me that she was having contractions. At 2:00 that day I came to your house and played with your sisters in the backyard for a while and then we went to the store and to dinner.  At 3:15 the midwife gave your Momma her first teaspoon of caster oil...by 6:30 the contractions were 3 - 4 minutes apart.  I was upstairs with all your sisters in the bathroom giving them bathes, while you were being born.  I could hear Momma crying in labor pains so I turned the music on my phone and turned it up high before any of your sisters could hear!  You were born at 7 o'clock weighing in just 2 oz. under 10 lbs!  You were 21 1/2 inches long...out of all my grandchildren I believe you are the longest and the biggest.

In this little picture it looks like you are almost smiling...you were literally hours old when I took this picture of you in my lap.

We couldn't believe it when we saw you long your thumb nail was..but then again you were two weeks late. :)

Here I was holding you on the day you were born...I absolutely adore you and I am so thankful to the Lord for creating you and blessing our family with you!

Welcome Emma, I love you so much already!
