Emma's Story (as told by Jake)


I will let Kate tell more about Emma when she gets a chance - but I wanted to let everyone know that she is here and doing well.


Emma Lee Price was born at 3:25 AM January 26th, 2009. Kate was checked into the hospital just 25 minutes earlier and Emma came before the nurses could give her an epidural - and before the doctor could get there. Kate, therefore, is the most amazing person I know! (no offense to all the other people I know - but how many of you have given birth naturally???)


Emma was 6 lbs 15 oz and 19 inches long with alot of dark hair. She is healthy as an ox! (Which is very fitting because she was born on Chinese new year with this year being the year of the ox.) Kate is also doing extremely well.

38 weeks and counting...

Hey everyone! I've been meaning to post Christmas stuff and haven't yet, but I wanted to give a quick update on the pregnancy! You might say I've been a little too anxious for this little one to come, so naturally she hasn't come yet. :) Technically we still have two weeks to go, but Jen was that early, so I've been expecting her to be the same. So far, not so much. Both last week and this week at my doctor's appt. I was dilated to a 1 and 50% effaced (is that how you spell it?), so nothing to be too excited about, but still is keeping me hopeful. We'll see how it goes!

I'm trying to just accept that she's coming when she's supposed to, but it's hard sometimes! Especially when you're pushing the cart at Wal-Mart and you're waddling so bad that Jentri thinks you're "dancing" and starts to sway with you. That's pretty bad! Ok, so I was having a few Braxton's whilst walking, but still. :)

I really am just glad that everything is going fine, and with everything that can go wrong, I should be grateful she's taking her time to be ready to join us. :) I'm trying to also take advantage of the time and get her room ready. We're going to move all my scrapbook stuff downstairs, which if I want to have any organization at all is going to take some time. I've got too much stuff!

Anyhew, here's to another day! Hope all is well with all of you! We'll keep you posted! ;) Happy Wednesday!
PS-Sorry for the lack of pics, I'll post one when I get a good one of my hugeness! (Hopefully soon)
