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
