Since my last post, Ella was born!! Of course most of you already know that but not all may have access to the facebook photos.
She was born on 11/11 at 7:54pm weighing in at 7 lbs 10 oz. and 20 inches long. Emma's labor lasted 21 hours and she did such a wonderful job!!! The long hours ended with us both in the small pool that we filled up with water for the water birth. It really was amazing to see Emma work so hard for so long and all of it on her own, without what our birthing coach would call "intervention". At the end I was able to help the midwife deliver Ella into my hands and bring her up out of the water and give her to Emma. It was extremely scary and the most amazing experience I have ever been through.
Here are some pictures from the past 11 days of our lives as a new family.
