Emery's first few weeks

Wow I can't believe my little baby is already a few weeks old. It's been a blur and probably the longest and shortest weeks of my life. It was nice that Blake was able to come right in time an spend two weeks here. It was really sad to see him go again. Jaylee is loving being a big sister and is so good with Emery. She has just the right balance of being excited about her but I don't have to worry about her trying to pick her up or hold her too long. She likes to have her turn with her and then she is done. She does panic when she starts crying and is very concerned if she doesn't know where she is. She's like "mom where is baby sister" like I am going to forget about her and she needs to remind me haha it's cute and fun. Here's some fun pics of our first few weeks together

Meet Emery

Emery Joy Voorhees was born on Saturday November 10th at 6:12pm. She weighed 8 pounds and was 19 1/2 inches long.

I waited as long as a could to hold out for Blake and he made it just in time. He flew in Saturday morning and we went to the hospital an hour after he got here. When I went in they checked me and I was dilated to a 4+ and started me on antibiotics and pitocin to get my contractions more regular. We waited for the doctor to come in and break my water and once he finally got there and did that, I had her about a half hour later. I went from a 6 to a 10 in a matter of 20-30 mins and then pushed about 4 times and she popped out. This time I opted to get a low dosage epideral (since I wasn't at an 8 this time, dang;) so things went pretty smoothly. She is such a good baby and has thick black hair! Jaylee is loving being a big sister and is way cute with her. Every morning she likes to come in and give her a kiss on head and say oh she's so cute. We hope this continues....
