Welcome to our family, Emily!

Emily Hope Durrbeck was born at 11:31am today. She was 7lbs 15 oz and 19" long. She has a good bit of dark hair covering her cute little round head!

As soon as she popped out (as Daniel told the boys) she was letting everyone in the OR know she had a good set of lungs on her! Daniel took a bunch of pictures but I haven't gotten to look at many of them yet. We didn't bring the laptop with us (so I downloaded the blogging app onto my phone. Apparently Daniels dad told Daniel to tell me to hurry up and recover so I could write a blog entry! Men!!). Emily's doing absolutely amazing at nursing already! She seems like a good sleeper too; she's snoozing like a champ in the little hospital basinette right now.
I've already gotten out of bed multiple times which has been really nice. I didn't think they'd let me get up until tomorrow morning so when my nurse asked (around 6:30pm) if I wanted to get up I excitedly said 'of course!'
Mom and dad brought the boys by to see their new baby sister. Zach was as cute as could be just looking at her with so much love in his eyes. Jake was glad to meet her but kept his distance!! He did give her a kiss before they left. It sounded like they had a nice day with granny and pa. They got to go to the park and have a picnic lunch as well as play on the playground. Jacob was trying really hard to do the monkey bars! I can't wait to watch him on them! I should be able to leave the hospital on Friday (YAY!!!) and will look through the pics then--and of course I'll be taking more! I'll post some good ones! I've attempted to attach a couple pictures but I'm not sure if it'll work or not!
