What started with Levi in a big brother t-shirt led to a cupcake with pink frosting...
to celebrate and tell the big bro he was having a baby sister! For a while I think he thought pink cupcakes were baby sisters. ;) Then, my belly started to grow and grow and grow. Big brother lost some lap space but was sweet to bring my belly toys and give it kisses and somewhat gentle pats.
We've had a hard time photographing the life and times of our #1 baby so in true 2nd baby form there are fewer photos documenting her life. The above photo was one of the photos taken of pregnancy #2 and was taken the day before her birth.
She arrived with five minutes to spare on her due date! Both our babes born on their due dates...wonder if future blessings will follow suit?! She came a little faster as we arrived at the hospital around 10pm (thinking we might not be very far along and would get sent home) and she was born at 11:55pm.
We have literally hit the nurse jackpot with both of our deliveries. Such a blessing nurse Pat was to us. We even got to see our nurse from when we delivered L while we were in the hospital! Wow those two women will forever be on my list of heroes.
Our little family of four. "Praise God from whom all blessings flow!" She was born in the same room as her big brother.
The midwife who delivered Emma was on call the next night and came in to check on us before his shift ended...in the early morning. I don't know if there has been an announcement that has made me happier than to here from him that I was dilated 8cm at the first check! Whew...that meant we were really close to being finished with labor. The Babies Daddy still teases me by exclaiming, "Praise the Lord" with a super exaggerated southern accent...that's what I said after the check.
We got to spend some extra time in the hospital and were kicked out to the same smaller room we moved into with L.
P&G and Aunt DayDay and her crew were in town for the festivities!
Another glow worm baby for a few days! She didn't seem to mind, Sweet Girl!
