The Promised Pics!

Emerson Rachel Cripe, at just about an hour old:












<- And here's the Happy Family, about a half an hour after she was born.










Uncle Scotty got to be there for her first pics as well!

















G-pops and Grammy are proud grandparents :) Don't they just look so happy?!












Grandma adores Emmy as well! ->















I think I'll put the rest of the pics in a slide show, that way if you aren't interested in looking at baby pic after pic you can skip right to the written blogs.




So things are going well so far! Knock on wood (please do this to help us!) she's been sleeping and eating like a pro. Steve and I have completely opposite sleep patterns and we thought it would work out perfect for this whole thing and it has. We're averaging about 5-6 hours of sleep a night and then a nap during the day. That's about what Steve usually would get and actually more sleep than I usually run on!




The cats are doing well and have readily accepted Emmy in their home. I figure having a daughter helps balance the house - 3 boys and 2 girls :)




I don't really have a lot to say today so I'll sign off for now. Feel free to comment on the pics and check back later for more updates!

She is adorable! I have to comment on uncle Scotty as well-- he is all grown up! Sounds like you lucked out with the scheduling. I hope all continues to go well. Oh, and happy belated 10th anniversary!
