I love this picture. Probably because the Instagram effect makes me appear less exhausted and more showered than I actually was...
While pregnant, I followed a couple blogs by pregnant moms who had their babies...and then stopped posting on their blogs! I thought...come on! I just want to see your baby! And know how you're doing! And get a tiny glimpse into motherhood...How long does it take to type up a quick post and add a picture anyway?!?
Ha. Ha ha. Ha ha ha. I sooooooo get it now. If I'm not nursing my sweet darling, I'm trying to go to the bathroom or catch a few more minutes of sleep. And blogging is just not at the top of the priority list.
But in case you're curious, I'll copy part of an email I wrote to an old friend regarding the birth of our baby girl...
Sweet little Emerson Grace was born at 5:47 am on Monday, March 5th. She was 7 lbs 13 oz and 20 inches long. We thought she'd be here on the 4th (her due date!) because I went into labor early Sunday morning...but little miss wanted to take 24 hours to get here. All I have to say is that I'm glad I got that epidural halfway through! Other than being long, labor was uncomplicated and I only had to push through 5 or 6 contractions in the end! They placed her right on my chest and didn't move her for over an hour...and we've been in love ever since! Scott and I could not be happier! We're so glad that our long awaited daughter is here!
