Finally Home!

Momma couldn't be any happier!

What a happy Daddy!

Now, let's get down to figuring out this family thing.

Now that's contentment.

One week old.

Well, after many frustrating days, the hospital finally opened my cell and allowed me to come home. I have kept down everything I have eaten and feel no nausea! I am so happy to be home with my little girl and back sleeping...some...in my own bed! Praise the Lord for His amazing blessings! Here are a few pictures of my coming home. We went a little nuts with the camera because we had been gone so long.

What a sweet girl!

Not happy!

Sleeping beauty...

All ready to go home!

How can anyone not love this face?

We are enjoying Miss Emma everyday. She is truly a blessing. I am having some complications from the c-section so I am back in the hospital. Just pray that I will recover soon so I can be home with this beautiful girl! Enjoy these pictures.

A Few More Pictures

Everyone is doing fine today. Emma loves to sleep! I was able to get up and get a shower today, so I feel much better. We will probably be going home tomorrow. We will send more pictures later. Thanks for all your love and prayers.

Welcome Emma Grace

Proud Father

Beautiful Baby!

Emma Grace arrived on Monday, August 11, 2008. She weighed in at 6 lbs. 10 oz. and 18 3/4 inches long. We are all doing fine. Bryan is a wonderful doting father. Here are some pictures.

Are we really ready?

Well, the plan is to go into the hospital on Sunday evening. Monday is will have a new baby that will actually come home with us and share a house with us. We will have to take care of her and she will always be ours. My mind is constantly swirling. I am so excited to meet her but there is also a creeping nervousness that goes with that excitement. The house is ready, but are we? That is the real question that I don't think I can really answer.

Promised Pictures

Baby shower fun in Memphis! Valerie made fun baby balloons.

Baby shower games. Here I am diapering a doll blindfolded. I may be niave, but I hope I don't need this skill.

August 5, 2008

We are anxiously awaiting the birth of our first child, Emma Grace, with much excitement and trepidation. We have all of the baby things filling our house to maximum capacity, but we still cannot wrap our brains around the fact that we will have a new member of our family very soon. Prayers for wisdom beyond our capacity go up constantly. God must be helping me practice the coming middle of the night rude awakenings by forcing me to get up 3 times during the night to go to the bathroom. Welcome to our blog. I hope it will be entertaining and informative. There will be pictures to come.
