Our little baby Emma was born this morning, July 31st, at about 6:59am. She weights 5lbs 14oz. An oz bigger than Justin when he was born. She is 19 inches long. She has lots of dark hair. I think that she looks like Emily. Emily was in labor for about 12-13 hours. It was a long night. But Emily and Justin worked through the pain, without much complaining.At about 6:ooam this morning the nurses at Ogden Regional Hospital began to get Emily and her room set up for Emma's birth. Emily's first push was at 6:33am.
Emily pushed so well that they called the doctor and said that she was ready. So we all hung out, Emily, Justin, Emily's Mom and Dad, the nurses and myself to wait for the doctor. When he arrived Emily pushed a few more times. The doctor left to check on some patients and Emily continued to push. 
Everyone is waiting for baby Emma (I hope that Emily doesn't mind this picture. You girls are always so worried about how you look durning labor. You should look tired. Why do you think they call it labor!A few more minutes went by and they sent for the doctor. He put on his gown and gloves, Emily pushed, and Emma was born.
Justin cut the cord and the doctor showed Emma to Emily.Emma had a bit of trouble staying pink, so they had some nurses from the NICU come and work on her for a bit. She responded well to their treatments and soon was pink and perfect.
Justin put on Emma's first diaper with some help from the nurse and Nana. 
He had never put a diaper on a baby. I failed in that preparation area. Oh well. He wasn't around a lot of babies when he was older (He was on his mission when Andrew was born, and Summer and her family lived in Salt Lake when Logan was born). 
The nurse swaddled Emma and handed her to Justin. He held Emma for a minute and then gave her to Emily.
