Emily Helen Hurt has arrived!

Okay, so she arrived 8 days ago, but I've been a little busy! She came into the world on April 12th, 2010 at 8:56am. She was 7 lbs, 3 oz and 19 inches long. She has blonde hair!! Even Brian didn't have blonde hair when he was born. She has tiny little hands and feet and is the sweetest baby ever. She hardly cries, has to be woken up to eat, knows to sleep at night and stay awake during the day, she's already going 5-6 hours between feedings at night. If all babies were this easy, we'd have 20! She saw the Pediatrician yesterday and has already gotten back to her birthweight, plus 3 oz. Big Brother Brian is so sweet to her and hasn't seemed jealous of her at all, although he's acting out with us just a little bit. One time when Steve was holding her, he wanted to play, so he said "Daddy, Grandma wants to hold the baby now!" Subtle, very subtle. My mom, Grandma, was here for 8 days to watch out after Brian and see Emily, and was a huge help just keeping the house running. But overall, our little family of four is doing well. A tiny bit tired, but very happy to have Emily here now! I'll try to post more pictures soon but no promises!!

Congrats again! She's a true beauty and I cannot wait to meet her. Love you all. Give big brother a squeeze for me. :)
