She's Here!

Well, she is here! It has been five weeks actually, but quite the interesting couple of weeks! First, before our update, we are excited to introduce...



Emmalee Dawn Orchard
02 September 2008
7:58am
6 lbs. 10 oz.
She is really fun and we love the new addition to our family. Emmalee came early Tuesday morning
after they sent me home Monday. My scheduled c-section was for Tuesday, but I was starting to contract and start labor. Because Monday was Labor Day, they told me to wait because it was a holiday and our insurance would not the extra fee. I was not pleased, but did as told and showed up at 5:30 the next morning. Scheduled cesarians are wonderful...so much easier and less stressful that emergency ones! She was born just before 8:00am and was having a hard time breathing. They think she inhaled liquid as they pulled her out, so she had to spend the first 24 hours in the NICU. I was able to meet her in the evening of the 2nd and then feed her the next morning... It brought back many emotions from McKenzi and the adventures we had with her. Luckily, the stay was not as long and she is now healthy and doing well. She is getting so big and has not had any other further problems since!

Oh my goodness Darcey! Your family is sure growing! Last time I saw Mckenzi she was just tiny and now she is turning into a little girl. I haven't even seen your little boy, you were pregnant with him at Brady's funeral. Congrats, I am positive that your are an amazing mother! Miss you!

Darci, I just realized that I spelled your name wrong in my last comment. What a ditz I am, I have a friend that spells her name with a "ey" at the end. Sorry about that!
