She is finally here! Emerson "Emmie Mae" was born June 13th at 12:53 am. I was one week over due and scheduled for my induction when she decided to make her debut on her own. The labor was quick and pretty easy for labor standards I suppose. My mom came and stayed for 5 days, it was really a lifesaver to have someone cook your meals, clean and help with the housework. After a week home Emmie came down with a really high fever. We took her to the ER and she was admitted for 3 days. They had to run several tests, and in the end it was ruled a viral infection. It was a rough few days for us, our little baby girl had an IV on the side of her head, I got mastitis, and we both were sleeping at the hospital. Since our return home things have been great. Emmie has a very sweet personality, she rarely gets upset...except for her nightly cries at about 8pm. We have taken one large road trip to CDA and she was a trooper sleeping most of the way. Emmie has met most of her extended family and friends.
The first six weeks have really flown by, she is now smiling and cooing all the time her hair is falling out leaving her a dead ringer for Michael:) Major is adjusting to life as a big brother. He still gets to sleep with us in bed, and now he sleeps close to her bassinet. Whenever he hears her cry he runs to her door or swing it is very cute. The weather has been really hot down here, leaving us just the morning hours to get out for walks, we have been enjoying getting out with friends for morning walks.
