Emma Jean Lutz was born at 7:51pm on December 4! She's 7 pounds, 4 ounces, 20 inches long. She's absolutely perfect! We are both doing well and even got some rest last night... some. I was totally surprised that she was a girl. I had convinced myself otherwise. I will be doing some online shopping for pink this afternoon. :)
Last pictures as a family of 3...
Samuel giving Emma kisses...
More pictures coming soon!
Some information I would like to remember and maybe you all would be interested as well...
- Labor was 11 hours
- Pushed for 4 minutes
- Water broke at 9AM, started Pitocin around 1PM, Epidural around 5, "It's a girl" at 7:51PM
- Bud cut the cord. A big feat for someone who gets light headed walking into a hospital.
- Bud was, yet again, an excellent coach! I love sharing this experience with him. He still thinks he should rent himself out as a labor coach, but I think nurse Heidi might think differently after he got queasy watching the anesthesiologist work. :)
Samuel's reaction...
He was concerned that "baby [was] crying" and he needed to make "baby happy now." He also mentioned sharing his trash trucks with "EEEEmma." He talked about her "stinky bipar" and pointed to all her facial features. He also started reciting his book, There's Nothing to Do Here (The one that I posted a video of a few weeks ago). But, for the most part he was happy playing with his Mr. Potato Head that Emma brought him and running around the room. He's going to be a great big brother and I look forward to watching Emma and Samuel grow up together!
