Emerson Elizabeth Hardin

David and I officially became parents on Monday, March 23, 2009 at 8:02 p.m. when Emerson Elizabeth Hardin entered the world. She was born via c-section and David held my hand the whole time. The first time we heard her cry was breath-taking. Soon the doctors placed her on my chest and I could finally see the bundle of joy I had been carrying for 9 months. Soon David was off to the nursery with Emme to be bathed, weighed and measured. She weighs 5lbs, 11oz and is 19 inches long.

We were finally able to bring her home Thursday, March 26. It has been an incredible experience watching her change each day. We are so blessed that God gave us our little miracle and we thank Him each day for this gift. We also thank all of our family members and friends that wished us well and came to visit us at the hospital. Being a new parent is definitely restless but each day has presented us with memories that will last a lifetime.

Family of 2 Becoming Family of 3

This is our last weekend before we become a family of three! I've been on bed rest for the past week and it is not as glamorous as it may sound. As a social person, I miss the daily interaction with others. It's just been me, the dog and the tv everyday until David gets home. Our next appointment is Monday morning and then it's off to the hospital. The doctor has decided to go ahead and induce labor because of my high blood pressure. Please pray for us this coming week. I'm terrified of what's to come but I'm so excited to meet this little girl that's been a part of me for 9 months!

Stay tuned...

Another Baby Shower!

I had another great baby shower this weekend! Several of my mom's friends and David's mom's friends came together and gave us so many more great gifts. I know I've already said it but our little girl will be the best dressed girl around. She has received so many cute clothes. David and I are already jealous of her wardrobe!
