Wow how time flies when you are having fun! Miss Emma Lynn Noelke was born at 6:01 am Friday February 27th, 2009. She was 8lbs 9 oz and 20 inches long--who of you guessed right on the blog poll?? We went into labor on Thursday--while I was at work and didnt realize that they were contractions! I even ran some errands. PJ met me at home about 2:30pm due to weather--and then we started timing contractions about 3pm. By 6pm they were 6 mins. apart and lasting about 30-40 seconds. We called the hospital and they said to labor at home as long as possible. By 11 we decided to go to the hospital--the contrction were 3 mins apart and lasting a min. When we checked into Triage I was 6 cm diaplated. We had an all natural birth and it was a wonderful experience. Ama and Baba (PJ's parents) arrived at the hospital shortly after 8am, and then my mom was there by 3. Miss Emma did not sleep a wink almost her whole first day of life. She was SO hungry(started rooting right after PJ cut the umbilical cord!). She had her first bath at the hospital and hated it! I knew that Emma knew when to be born-nurse Sandy who was my guardian angel through the miscarriage was our nurse on Saturday night, and only works weekends--so it was wonderful to see her!! Fast forward to now! We have been to the doctor 3 times, and as they say--"she is perfect!". My dad sister and mom were able to come up to meet Emma and while they were here, her umbilical cord fell off on her 2 week birthday. She is now 9lb 6oz and 22.5 inches long, and the joy of our lives! Sorry it has been so long!
