Emerson Grace Reed..... The greatest gift ever!!!!

I have to appologize for not posting sooner about Emerson's arrival. I did end up being induced last Monday (exactly one week ago). She arrived Tuesday May 19 at 8:58 pm. She was 7lbs 11ozs and 21 inches long. The delivery was amazing.... I actually enjoyed the whole thing!!!

We came home on Thursday and everything was going great...seriously I think I birthed the perfect child. However, the only glich has been that I had 4th degree lasserations as a result of delivery... If you don't know what this is I'll just let you look it up. Anyway they sewed me up in the delivery room but on Saturday the stiches broke down. So we ended up in the ER and back in the hospital ever since. I am awaiting surgery which should happen on Wednesday. So, we have spent our first week as a family of three in the hospital... And there is no telling when we will go home. Luckily Emerson and Garrett have been taking great of me.

We don't have wireless in our hospital room so I am having to post from my iPhone... Which isn't the easiest thing to do. Here are a few pics I have taken from my phone. Please be praying for us.... I didn't give too many details because it's just a gross situation but this whole thing is extremely hard for us. We need all the prayers we can get!!!
