Our little Emily is finally here. I know that this is a bit late to post, but I am going to do it anyways. We ended up with a July baby, even though our due date was June 28th. This little one was 8 days late and arrived fast and furious.
We went to the hospital about 4am. They evaluated us and decided to let us stay an hour and see if I would progress enough to be admitted. By 6am we were admitted, had a quick shower and then she was ready to make her appearance. No time for the epidural that I wanted, but she got here anyways.
We were allowed to leave the hospital the next day, but spent 2 hours in the hospital room trying to give this little one a name. I had thought that she would be Emily for some time, but wasn't convinced that it suited her. We had figured she would get Juliana for a middle name, after Ryan's grandmother, but somehow decided that Maureen suited her better.
Gabriel is loving his little sister. He gets up in the morning and calls "babies!" and goes looking for Emily. He gives her lots of kisses on the head and pats her just like mom and dad do. He has been really good and gentle with her so far. Sometimes we have to remind him that he isn't allowed to pick her up and that he needs to be careful, but he is really good. He will be 2 years old in Sept, so he is still little too, and BUSY!
So many other things to say, but so little time. The rest will have to wait until the next chapter!
