Mommy spending some time with Baby Emma.



Welcome to ~Emma Jane Quakenbush~ Born at 3:29 P.M. 9 lbs. 2 1/2 oz. 22 1/2 inches long.



Daddy and Emma.

I will post more later, we have visiters. LOL ;~)
9:40a.m. ~ They just turned Tasha's IV up as high as it can go to prepare her for an epidural. Then they are ready to break her water. She's getting a little bit frustrated at this point. We were hoping to be further along, but once her water is broke, she always progresses quickly. We value your prayers.

Maybe a little after lunch????????????????????????

Tasha is doing okay, we finally fished all the paperwork about 2:00 A.M. and by 4:00 Am she was having heavy contractions every 2 to 3 minutes. So much for getting any sleep, Poor thing, she is SOOO tired. Things are progressing, not as fast as we would like, but at least we are moving in the right direction.

It was a fun night having family prayer time before bed.



The four older kids wanted to lay hands on Mommy and Baby and pray for safety. It was a very special time.



Elliana praying for Baby sister,,,, she is SOOO excited to see her.



We are finally ready to go. It might be a long night, but I think we are ready for it.



Needles! Tasha really doesn't like those things, but it is a necessary evil.
I will try to post more as time permits.

Tasha says I will have to learn to share the part of my heart reserved for baby girls with the new baby. Right now it seems pretty full.



That being said, about one nanosecond after new baby arrives, Daddies heart will grow again. Then I will have plenty of room.



Daddy and Elliana, we are the best of buddies! ;~)



Our new blessing (otherwise known as a ford 15 passenger van.) We were out enjoying the warmer weather, ready to take a walk down to the Flowers for an impromptu cookout.
