More pictures from the past few days

I'm a MOM!

The last 72 hours have been the most amazing and exhausting of my entire life. I cannot put into words how amazing it feels to finally be a mom and hold my little girl in my arms. David and I just keep looking at her and looking at each other and saying that we can't believe this is all real.

I'm not going to make a long post, as I'm trying to save my energy and get some rest. But I too wanted to post a few pictures of our baby girl for friends and family to see. These are two of my favorite pictures from labor and delivery. My mom and David were at my side the entire time, cheering me on and keeping me focused on the huge reward I was about to receive. Thank you Mom and David.

Everyone, meet Ruby

I'm only going to post a sampling of the thousands (almost) of pictures taken in the last 36 hours. I'm sure Emilia will want to join in and add some more at a future time. Enjoy - we sure are.

Zoolander?

Waving bye and winking. What a talent.

Ruby is here

Ruby Albina arrived Sunday, November 30, at 7:51 am. She's a healthy 9 lb 7 oz and 21.5 inches ... and freakin' gorgeous.

Emilia is feeling excellent, especially considering the labor was all natural. Apparently the nurses have taken to calling her "Wonder Woman," which is well deserved.

We're at the hospital until tomorrow morning. Numerous pictures will be posted then. We love y'all!

Friday morning at the Edmonson household

It's all about Stanley, and it's our duty to recognize that.

Happy Thanksgiving

Posted with Stella and Stanley in the bed, and Ruby in the belly.

The long wait

So the cookies didn't work. Maybe our daughter just doesn't have a sweet tooth.

We're still here, still waiting. There's not much to report, unfortunately. Emilia did make a delicious Thanksgiving dinner for the two of us last night, as we're not sure what exactly we'll be doing on Thursday. See, it's hard to plan anything in advance when you're waiting on the stork to arrive.

Stay tuned.
