Meet Emily!
Well the blog now needs a new name. On Halloween night, Julia became a big sister to a tiny little sister. Little Emily came very quickly Halloween night. Sheryl was scheduled to be induced on November 1st but Emily couldn't wait. After mild labour pains during the day, they decided to induce a day earlier since things were already progressing. Once the real contractions started things moved very quickly. It wasn't even 30 minutes from the first serious contractions to the birth. In fact it happens so quick the doctor wasn't even present. Luckily there was a mid wife there so I didn't have to catch Emily myself. Sheryl did great. It was very fast so no time for an epidural. She is making a very speedy recovery.
Little Emily is indeed LITTLE! At birth she was 4 lbs and 13 oz. Definitely small for a full term baby (37 weeks 5 days). This was the reason for the scheduled induction. This issue was discovered in an ultrasound on Oct 30. Aside from being tiny, Emily is generally healthy. She is having some difficulty feeding on her own so they have moved her to the Special Care Nursery to assist her feeding. They have a feed tube in through her nose now. Everything is progressing much better since they moved her there. She has now had a couple of good feeds. Hopefully she will be out of the Hospital in a short while. Once she gains her strength she will be eagar to meet everyone!

Congratulations!! Now the fun begins. Glad to hear you are both doing well. I can tell you that the lack of sleep will be a killer in the first couple of months but then watching them play together will be awesome and you will enjoy every minute of it. Can't wait to see you guys again soon. ENJOY!
