Emily Helen Jost

Emily finally made her appearance this morning! Amy woke up in the night with contractions. They waited around awhile because she had been having pains all week and they weren't sure it was the real thing. Well it was and by the time she got to the hospital around 5 AM she was 7 centimeters. She was not able to get an epidural at that time because the anesthesia provider was in an emergency c-section. She did get an epidural once she was complete and says she felt relief during the last couple of contractions. She is one tough lady! Emily weighs 8lbs. 4oz. and is 22 inches long. We are thinking she looks like her daddy and resembles Rachel's baby pictures. Both mom and baby are doing wonderfully and Emily appears to be very healthy (we are always very cautious with that word)! The above story and following pictures are from proud aunt Anna. Amy and Michael have many more they will be posting when they get home Wednesday. I don't have any from when Rachel met her because I wasn't there but I am told she liked Emily a little bit.










Very long fingers and toes, just like Rachel had!





First Bath!
