Emerson Rose Jessup

She's here!
7lbs. 13 oz, 20 Inches

She is perfect, we are in love!

We went in early yesterday morning, and she arrived 3 1/2 hours later! I was BLESSED with a quick, easy, fun (yes fun), delightful labor...and no exaggeration (I heart epidurals). At one point while pushing, I lost concentration and started laughing because of Cliff's face. He has NO poker face. The doctor and nurses asked what I was laughing at, glanced at Cliff, and they started laughing, as well.

I can't even begin to describe the amount of love we have for this little girl. She already has melted our hearts.

Oh Emerson is such a great name. I am so happy for you. Girls really are so awesome. Boys are so fun, but something about girls, I LOVE! I also love the epidural. Now if the recovery would only be as enjoyable:-)

So glad she is finally here! Can't wait to meet her. Adorable girl AND name! I know what you mean about a "fun" labor - Blake's labor was a breeze. I was joking and laughing with Dave and the nurse between pushes. I also love epidurals!!

She's beautiful! Look at her hairline on her forehead - just gorgeous. How fun to have one of each -- now the fun really begins! We are very happy for you and love the pictures. I think Stone looks like Kendal in the picture at the hospital.
