first day at home...

After a lunch stop at Oma's, Daddy, Mommy, & Emmersyn were at home.  Since we were still in the mountains (Thanks, Poppy & Nana!), it was a quiet day settling in at home.
Emmersyn relaxing on Daddy & Mommy's bed...
...& taking a little snooze! 
Mommy got her all ready for bed in her "baby in a bag" outfit, and Emmersyn looked all snug and sweet!
What a precious baby girl...happy first day at home, Emmersyn Faith!

day 4 ~ going home

Today, Daddy, Mommy, & Emmersyn get to go home from the hospital.  
(We...Averie, Brady, & Brecken...got to go to the mountains with Poppy & Nana for 2 nights so that Daddy, Mommy, & Emmersyn could adjust at home for the first night.)
Emmersyn is awake and ready to go!
Well, maybe not...
 ...or maybe so! :)
Daddy & Mommy are just waiting for the doctor to give Mommy & Emmersyn the "go" to head out the door...so, Emmersyn just took another quick nap!
She is just beautiful!
Yay...they both got the "go ahead," so Daddy & Mommy buckled Emmersyn in her car seat...
...& took one last hospital pic...
...& after some "thank you's" to the nurses and staff, they were out the door...ready to bring Emmersyn home!

day 3 ~ in the hospital

Good morning, sweet Emmersyn!
And...a quick nap in the bassinet
Such a sweetheart!
After feeding, it was snuggle time with Mommy!
Then, after the hospital pics, Mommy & Emmersyn had some sweet time together while Daddy had to work a few hours.  Aunt Helen came to visit again, and Emmersyn also enjoyed meeting Mr. Michael & Mrs. Tonya.
More snuggles with Mommy...& trying out the "new" paci from the hospital.  Of course, Emmersyn preferred the uglier hospital one verses the super cute on Mommy bought her. :)
Kisses from Mommy!
And, time for bed on our last night at the hospital.  Thankfully, Daddy stayed with us the last 2 nights, and Mommy & Emmersyn enjoyed his company.

day 1 ~ in the hospital

So, we were all waiting in the waiting room to hear the exciting news...and we were getting anxious.  Mommy had a few complications that delayed her being released to a regular room, so we had to wait.  But, once she got to the room, we were just glad she was ok...& super excited to meet the new baby.  So, we all went back to her room (She wanted to be there when we heard the news...just like with Brecken!), and we gathered around.  Then, Mommy said (as she had the baby half covered so you couldn't see pink or blue), "You guys have a little...(yes, she paused)...SISTER!!  And, the nurse was able to capture our expressions on camera...
...some of us were SO happy...and others of us were a little disappointed at first. :)  (Don't worry...within 5 minutes, Brady was holding Mommy's hand and saying, "Mommy, I am so glad she is a girl.")
I was so happy that Emmersyn is a girl.  I got to be the first to hold her...the proud big sister.  I really, really wanted a baby sister.
And, Brady was very happy, too.  He said he was going to protect her from bad guys! :)
A very proud Oma
Sweet Emmersyn...just a few hours old!
Aunt Blip Blip (with McKinly)

Mommy called Daddy the Baby Whisperer...when Emmersyn would fuss, he would just talk to her and she would start to calm down.  It was so sweet!!
Joy
What a wonderful & exciting day today was...we are so thankful for our family...& the precious birth of our baby sister, Emmersyn Faith!
