Going Home

We left the hospital around noon on Thursday. Emma slept through her whole first car ride home- I did too :)

Pictures in the hospital

Meeting Evan

We were so excited that Evan got to come visit in the hospital. There had been visitor restrictions at the hospital because of H1N1, but they lifted the restrictions the week before Emma was born! Evan liked pointing at her eyes, nose, mouth, etc and gave her a kiss goodbye.

First Bath

Emma's First Pictures

Emma was born at 828 AM on January 18th. She as 7lb 2oz. and 19.5 in. long. She has tons of hair and looks just like her big brother! Since I had a c-section Adam got to hold her first and then I got to hold her once we got to the recovery room. She nursed right away for me in the recovery room, which was surprising since it took Evan so long to catch on to nursing! After spending about and hour in the recovery room she went upstairs and her grandparents got to watch her first bath and checkup while I finished recovering and went up to the room. I need to get pictures that they took of her first bath.....so stay tuned!

Getting Prepped and Ready

We had to be at the hospital at 530 AM last Monday for the 730 C-section. They had me prepped and ready by 6....so we had a lot of waiting to do. Just as they were about ready to take me to the operating room, the lab called and I had an antibody in my blood. So we had to wait an extra half hour while they ran some more tests. It turns out that Emma has the little C antigen in her blood and I created antibodies against it. It wasn't dangerous for this pregnancy, but if I were to get pregnant again, it could be very high risk. Here is a picture right before you left for the hospital.

Here are some pictures of us waiting.

Adam thought the fall risk bracelet was funny....he said I needed to wear it all winter.

Snow Day!

We finally have snow here. Yesterday I had an early release and today Adam and I both have a snow day. We took Evan outside to play.....as you can see he wasn't so sure about the whole experience of getting bundled up!
