Our home birth experience couldn't have been better. Ruby Emmerson was born on Saturday, Nov. 7th @ 3:45 p.m. after 5 hours of labor and weighed 9 lbs. 1 oz. She's got her daddy's feet and her brother's chin but is a beauty in her own right. We're all doing well, if not a little sleepy, and enjoying that fantastic newborn smell. Thank you for all of your well wishes, thoughts, and prayers. I was telling Brett last night that knowing so many online friends were rooting for me yesterday got me through some of those early hard contractions.
I'll be back with a birth story and more pictures when we've all had a little more recovery time.
xoxo,
Rachel, Brett, Sebastian and Little Red

I can tell you from personal experience that having a boy AND a girl is so much fun! You will never have to wonder now "what if...?"
If they are like my two they will be great friends and share so much together (most of which I'm not privvy to!)
All children are miriclaes but to be blessed with one of each is something else!

So awesome!! I'm so excited for you guys. I just had my second baby about 5 months ago and i miss those first couple of weeks with a new baby, and a 4 year old. trying to figure out how to jugle two can be kind of stressful at times, but so worth it all. The feeling of having all that love around and this little tiny person that you know needs you no matter what is irreplacable. Enjoy the baby they grow to fast.
Congratulations, little red is beautiful!
