New Chair

Our new chair for the nursery finally got delivered today. Emma and Mommy are big fans. Now if we only had curtains for the windows. ;) 

Emma Meeting her buddy Bailey

Grandma and Grandpa Stephens watched Bailey while we were in the hospital and even a few days when we got home.  Bailey came back to the house on Friday, February 24th.  She was happy to see Mommy and Daddy, and a little curious to meet Emma.  

Emma's First Bath

Emma was not a fan of having a bath, but we still had to take pictures of it.  If you look closely, there is a little bit of a curl to her hair.

Welcome Emma Lyn

  

On Friday, February 17th, we went in for an ultrasound appointment. The doctor said that we needed to have a c-section and we needed to go directly to the hospital. We were about to meet our precious baby girl.  Emma Lyn came into the world at 12:57 pm on Friday, February 17th.  She was 4lbs 2 oz and 17 inches long.  It was a surprise to both of us that we got to meet our precious bundle of joy, but so happy that she is a healthy baby.  They took her to the NICU, but Daddy went with her.  She was only there for a little more than a day and then got to come spend the rest of her hospital stay with mommy and daddy.  Even though she is small, she did everything on her own.  Everyone always comments on how much hair she has.  She does have a full head of hair, but we love it.  While in the NICU Daddy would update mommy(in the rocovery room) via text messages and pictures.  It was hard to be away from her, but she is a trooper and didn't have to stay long. 

On Saturday we had lots of visitors.  Grandma and Grandpa Stephens,

Grandma and Grandpa Dahl,

Uncle Chuck, Aunt Carrie and Cousin Chesney, Uncle Kurt, Aunt Kris, Cousin Kyle, and Cousin Kameron, Aunt Missy, Cousin Brock and Cousin Avalyn.  A big thank you to Grandma and Grandpa Dahl, Uncle Chuck, Aunt Carrie and Cousin Chesney for cleaning the house for Mommy and Daddy.     

On Monday, February 20, we got to come home from the hospital.  Emma's first car ride was during the middle of a snow storm.
