Emma Caron Raftelis

For those of you who do not know Emma was born yesterday at 12:14 pm. She weighed 7lbs 11oz and is 19 1/2 inches long. I started having contractions late Tuesday night and we went to the hospital around 1:00 am. I had to walk the halls for 2 hrs to try to have a regular contraction pattern for them to admit me into Labor. Everything went really well until the very end when my epidural quit working and I felt everything! Needless to say it was worth every bit of pain and Emma is here! We are so blessed to have yet another beautiful healthy girl.

Rileigh loves her "ba be" sister Emma and so far is doing well. She is pretty fussy and needy but hopefully in a few weeks she will be adjusted to the new life of having another baby in the house.

Emma has been so good for us so far. She eats about every 3 hours and only cries when you change her diapers.(hopefully I am not jinxing us). They actually only kept us over night in the hospital and we came home today around 4:00. More update to follow.
