Climbing wall extravaganza (dance included)

Emersyn Elaine is here!

I was induced on Friday July 9th at 8:30 am and by 9:44 pm that night we had a beautiful baby girl! All I can say is thank god for good drugs! All risks aside I was able to enjoy delivery, although it only took 4 sets of pushes to get her here. I guess she was as ready to meet us as we were her! Her big brother Finn couldn't get enough of her, wanting to hold her and smother her with kisses. The night she was born, we were able to spoil the nurses with some local food (@ 2 am when I was finally allowed to eat something) and we're pretty sure that's what convinced them to book us in the maternity floor "suite" with a double size bed for comfort. Either way, it was just as incredible of an experience the second go round as the first and we continue to enjoy every minute of it! Almost 5 weeks old already, she is growing like a weed and I will try to keep up on updating pictures.

Where has the time gone?



Wow-have I fallen behind on this blog! A lot has happened in the past several weeks but I'll start from the beginning. We spent the 4th of July weekend out at the lake and had a blast. Although Finn wasn't too excited about fireworks, we did get some fishin' and ol' fashioned "rock skipping" time in. The weather was great and it was a relaxing way to start my maternity leave from work.
