So my friend Rachel (the one I threw the shower for in Sept) had her baby boy this weekend and I was lucky enough to be there for his birth! It was the first birth I had seen in real life and it was one of the most amazing things I have ever experienced!
Emmitt Cooper Maxwell
Isn't he the cutest little thing?!? He's gone from spud to stud!
So here's a short version of the day... Rachel invited me to her birth because we are natural birth friends! She wasn't due until November 30th but there were a few complications so her doctor thought it best to induce labor and get little Em out of there. At about 12:30p on saturday they broke Rachi's water and started her on the pet. Around 3:30p Rach was dilated to a four and her contractions were so excruciating that she had to get the epidural. At about 5:30p she started pushing and by 6:44p we welcomed her little angel to the world! It was amazing!! Since Emmitt was so early we didn't really get to hold him that much because he had a bunch of testing to do in the NICU but we did get to spend lots of time with Rach including McDonald's dinner and reenacting the funny things she yelled at the doctor during labor :D Rachel has to stay in the hospital until later tonight and Baby Emmitt is in the NICU until Sunday but he is getting stronger and stronger everyday! We are so excited to play with Em and Brandon is especially looking forward to girls night so that he and Emmitt can watch football games together. We love you so much!

How exciting. I've never seen a live birth - not even my own children. Glad all went well.
