Emilia Bowman.
Well, there's lots I can say about having a baby, but I dont know how much time I have and I already wrote it down in my journal, so I'll just share some things.
I started contractions Monday night and they didnt stop. We were 36 weeks and 6 days. I got admitted to the hospital Tuesday night. And by Wednesday morning I had a baby girl! I couldn't have done it without my push & life coach, Benjamin! He was my ROCK!
Emilia was 6 lbs 13 oz, 20.5 inches long and born at 5:32 am.
So off we went to the Postpartum recovery room.
We had lots of family visitors and fun times!
It is tradition in my family to have a "birth"day party at the hospital on the day of the baby's birth, so my siblings came to celebrate! Cake, balloons, candy, party hats, banners and streamers!
Nana & Papa came to visit earlier, so did Isaac, and my sister Nettina and brother Jonathan are in the pictures during the birthday celebration. Grandmom came the day after! :) Lots of love for this little girl!
Then we all had showers. Emilia had her bath and then bed!
We can't believe it happened today! She was exactly 37 weeks and full term. Now we are full time parents! The picture below was after her bath. We enjoyed sitting and watching it happen!
A week ago, Ben planted an agave seed for Emilia and on her birthday, it came up. What sweet timing! It means a lot to us, so I am blogging about it! Lots of new life!
We got the ok to go home so we packed up and headed out on Friday!
Balloons and a sign welcomed us at home! Beans was also so excited to see us and meet her!
Being home is an adjustment. So far so good! We have Ben's parents and my mom on hand to help! We couldn't do it without them!!
Putting her in her crib to sleep for the first time at home:
We love her little face!!
So glad you came to us! We love you so much! Happy Birthday Emilia 2/18/2015!
