I actually went into labor! I woke up this morning at about 7 feeling some pretty good contractions every ten minutes or so. I waited for a bit, then called the doctor to see if they wanted me to go to the hospital. They did, so we got here at about 1:00 and had a labor evaluation. I was dilated to 4 centimeters, so they decided to keep me. I got my epidural at 5:30 or so, started pushing around 7, and Leah was born at 7:33. She weighs only 6 pounds 9 ounces (4 ounces more than Shannon) and is almost 21 inches long. She is just as cute as can be, very well mannered so far, and eats like a champ! She has lots of brown hair (though her eyelashes look very light, so there is hope still that she will be a redhead). I will post more pictures when I get them, but for now I need to get some sleep.

Wow! Congrats, guys! :)
She is beautiful!!! We have four and you would think we would get one red-head...they all started with hints of red but after the first haircut we ended up with four blonds.
I bet her sister is just in heaven.
I wish I could have been there the first time Shannon saw her. I'll bet she's in love! Congratulations to La Familia Emerson!
