Emerson Hope Jerome, December 12th, 2011. 9'4'', 21 inches long.
Emerson Hope Jerome is here!! We waited so long for her, but she was worth the wait! Lorie labored all night an all day. We received a text from Micah at about 1 telling us to get there ASAP. Well, that might have been a bit premature. We sat in the waiting room til 4:30 when we finally decided to get some dinner. Micah texted us there and we we went up to tell Lorie "best of luck." She just told us all to stay, so we were able to be there for the delivery. Poor Lorie. It was an extremely difficult and unpleasant labor and delivery. I felt terrible for her, no sleep, bad epidural, starving to death, pushing out a bowling ball! It was so amazing to be there for her birth. I love my precious new niece!!
Aw, poor Lorie... I truly enjoyed giving birth both times I got to do it with an epidural. But then again, I never labor for long! How special that you got to be there! I've never gotten to sit on on a delivery other than my own. What a neat experience.
