Emily Faith Cross






So Emily has arrived!!! She was born May 16 at 1:53 am 7 pounds 2 oz and 19 3/4 inches long. She is doing very well and is very sweet. I am so looking forward to her and Brianna being able to play someday although I know I should treasure these little newborn and baby moments because they do go so fast. My labor was pretty interesting as my contractions started the Monday before and then on Thursday night I went from 6 minutes apart to 5 and then a few minutes later they were 3 minutes apart. Now the funny thing is I guess when we went to the hospital for Brianna I probably wasn't in "labor" as I thought I was. Oh no I really felt the pain this time and have no idea how people get through it without an epidural. I think you have to be mentally prepared not to have pain meds. So after I received the epidural things were great. No pain woohoo!!! My labor went I think pretty fast I think all together about 8 hours and the delivery was perfect. Last time I was in pain for weeks and this time I was barely in pain at all. It is much easier to take care of a newborn when you are not in pain and can move. So we are all doing fine Jeremy is proud of his little girls and is the best husband and father ever. Brianna loves her little sister also and is already singing to her and loving on her.

She is precious! I am so happy for you 4! I find out week of June 15 on what we are having! If it's a girl, one of the names we like is Faith Elizabeth. I love the name Faith. :) And we found it appropriate at this time of our lives. :)

Hope you are getting enough sleep to survive! That's my one worry! :)
