Rocket Baby - It's a ...

Nikki, Ken, and I are pleased to announce the arrival of Emily Rose, our sweet baby girl. She was born on December 3, 2006 at 6:21 pm. weighing 7 lbs. 12 oz. and measuring 19 in. long. She has a headful of dark brown hair and breastfeeds like champ.

I call her the rocket baby because she came out so quick that I wasn't able to have an epidural and my dr. barely made it to the delivery. We only arrived at the hospital at 4:30 pm, less than 2 hours before she was born.

We are all home recovering, adjusting, and doing very well. We would like to thank everyone that has called, visited, and e-mailed over the past week for thinking of us and our expanding family.

I have included a few pictures of Miss Emily who has been affectionately nicknamed Emmi(pronounced Emmy). Nikki has fallen in love with her new sister, has been a great big sister by helping out Mommy and Daddy, and can't get enough of holding little Emmi. We truely feel blessed with our new addition!
