What a wild ride this has been! Emmeline Shae Featherstone was born on October 12th, 2007 at 1:40 p.m. She is 6 lb. 15 oz, and 20 in. long. Both mom and baby are doing great. We are truly blessed. Let's introduce you to the newest member of the Featherstone fam.
This is our little girl just a few minutes after she was born. She did so great during the labor process.
Right after she was born, they put her up on momma and got a little oxygen to her. She looks pretty good for having gone through a 10 cm little space. One of the first things that we were able to see was all of her beautiful brown hair. Little foxy brunette just like her mamma.
Would you look this good if you had gone through intense labor for 12 hours un-medicated??? My wife is an amazing person. She has so much faith and was strengthened so much during a truly traumatizing time. (she says that she wouldn't recommend natural childbirth to anyone... what were we thinking?)
The proud parents.
Here's our little girl after her bath. Sometimes the fathers go in and witness this moment, but I was completely knackerd, so I stayed back with mom. Isn't she beautiful?
Here's first time Grandma and Aunt. They weren't excited at all to hold this baby. This little girl doesn't have a chance, they will completely spoil her.
Here's first time Grandpa. We were thinking about calling him "Grandpa Joe" like on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We will see.
Of course Papa and Granny Jyl came to meet grandbaby number 6.
Uncle Jaymer!!!!
Aunt Shelb, Uncle Parker, Uncle Hizzle.
We love the Mow-Hawk. We didn't think that she would have so much hair. Thank goodness she got her mom's hair genes.
This is Emmie sleeping back at home in her little basonet. (thanks Uncle Juan and Aunt Rach)
Some sweet nap time with Dad. I love my little girl.
