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!
Grandma
