Baby Emerson is finally here! There's nothing like pregnancy to make time go by super slowly, and super quickly all at the same time! It felt like she'd never be born, and now she's four days old and it seems like time flew by!
Emy was born on Thursday Aug. 16th (Tate was born Thurs. Sept. 16th two years ago!) She had been breech my entire pregnancy so we had a c-section scheduled for that morning at...6:30am meaning we had to arrive there at 5am and leave our house at 4am to be on time! Tooele needs a better hospital to save on drive time! When we arrived at the hospital, they began to prep me for the c-section and did one last check to see if she was still breech, and she had turned the night before! So I was induced and she was born at 6:46 pm instead of 6:30am! 7lbs 3 oz, 20 inches long. (Tate was 6 lbs 2oz, 20 inches) Emy was born quickly in less than 10 pushes, but after hemorrhaging much of my blood and having a very scary after birth experience, I feel so blessed to live in a time with modern medicine, have a fantastic doctor and hospital staff, and I know that Heavenly Father was mindful of me and baby Emy at that time and it was a great reminder of how blessed I am and how we do not go through hard things on our own.
Tatem was also breech my entire pregnancy and then turned the night before his scheduled c-section to be born naturally a week later (naturally plus drugs!) I guess all of this turning is pretty much unheard of so I feel pretty blessed that it has worked out so many times for me!
Through this experience, I have already learned so much and I'm sure I'll just keep learning...
1. I learned that our plans are different than what our Heavenly Father plans for us.
2. I have a lot of people who love me and my family, I'm SO blessed to have such an amazing family...they're the best!
3. My husband is AWESOME! He is a great dad, and a wonderful supporter to me. I got myself a winner!
4. Children are a blessing and gift from heaven. I couldn't ask for a better baby girl.
5. Tatem is a wonderful little boy and seeing him love and laugh at his little sister has been so much fun! He's handling things like a champ!
Overall, Emy and I are doing well and we couldn't ask for more!
