Spring Came Early this Year!

Now Introducing Emily Elizabeth to our blog...

Call it new mothers intuition but I kept saying little BG was going to make her grand entrance early. I started having contractions around 6:00am on Friday morning & at 3:00am Saturday morning my water broke. We got the hospital around 3:30am-ish and by 6:00pm (yes - 14 1/2 hours later) I got the high sign that it was time to bring BG into this world of ours. Little did I know, she was gonna make us work another 2 1/2 (verrrry long) hours. Both David & I were absolutely exhausted, but by 8:24pm, little Emily Elizabeth decided to grace us with her lovely presence.

Can I just say, words cannot describe the feeling of seeing your daughter for the first time. We are elated & feel truly blessed by this beautiful miracle of ours. We are in love!!! Enjoy some photos of our journey :)

Me & Mama Z getting through those contractions. Seriously, I have a new appreciation for those mother's who go the natural birth route.Our 1st Family Photo. Mom looks a little pooped :)

Proud Papa! I think she's about 1 hour old here.

Mama Bird & Baby Bird

I can't remember if this was the APGAR test or the "How loud can your newborn scream?" test.

6.5 Lbs. of love. For the record, I think our Thanksgiving turkey was at least 13 Lbs...Combing & Washing those luscious locks!

Now the name's official. It's been printed on a 2 cent card by the hospital staff. (Does our insurance cover that?!)

Rockin' the I-Pod

Hmmm...wonder where that hair came from...

Getting to know the Z family.

I think Daddy found a new napping partner. Now she's at home & spoiling us rotten!
