Words Are Not Enough

Emma has arrived.  

That is an incredible thing to say.

Emma has arrived.

After an unbelievable journey with an incredible hospital staff, a rocking midwife, and a whole gaggle of family, we have an incredibly beautiful baby girl.  I feel like I'm cheating right now because while Kristen has had to deal with all the post birth falderall, I get to hang out with Emma and deliver her to grandparents and help her bathe and laugh when she gets pissed and cries this hilarious, impassioned cry that sounds like a baby goat on helium.  

She is perfect in all the medical ways and in all the parent ways and, though we definitely had moments we weren't sure we would make it through this delivery in one piece, everything at this point has turned out beautifully.

If you're a person who like stats, she is 8lbs 6oz and 18.5 inches long.  But I'm not sure how that begins to describe the gorgeous baby girl who's hanging out with us right now. 

If you're a person who likes pictures, you're just going to have to wait.  We've got em, bu it'll take us a while to get them up here on the blog.  Though I make a promise (properly calibrated for brand new parenthood of course) that we'll have something in the way of pictures up on the interweb before the day is over.  

Thanks so much again for all your prayers and texts and comments and love.  It definitely has helped to fill us in days where we have been pouring out a lot.

More to come...
