Emmalyn Grace

It's a GIRL!!!!


If you saw my last post, you knew Ginny was nearing the end of her pregnancy.  She and her hubby Chris didn't find out during the pregnancy whether they were having a boy or a girl... so delivery day was uber exciting!  Bless Ginny's heart, she had a 26, yes TWENTY-SIX hour labor!  Early the morning of October 13th, Chris texted me and told me it was time to push, and I sprung into action.  I gathered my camera gear, figured out care for Avery, and rushed to the hospital... to wait. :) Ginny pushed for 4 hours, but finally, Emmalyn Grace arrived!!  A beautiful girl... who has the most wonderful parents.


I'm blessed to be Chris and Ginny's friend, and honored that I was able to share this experience with them.  Ginny asked that I get some pictures of D-day, since she'd be a little busy... so here are some of my favorites. :)


Waiting...

Announcing the big news!

Sharing a picture of Emmalyn getting weighed:

Emmalyn meeting her extended family :)

This mother-daughter moment made me a little emotional... caused me to think back to holding my daughter for the first time.

What a proud daddy :)

The beautiful Emmalyn Grace...

Congrats, Chris and Ginny - I'm so happy for you and I'm excited for our girls to be friends!

The faces of Ginny...

Funny faces, that is. :)


I know I told you in the last post that those were some of my favorites... well, these are the rest!  Ginny is going to be such a fun mom, evident in the way she likes to be silly and have fun.  More often than not, I would catch her making a silly face at Chris - he couldn't help but laugh... and of course, I would take a picture.  Don't let Chris fool you - he didn't hesitate to join in on the silliness - you'll see proof below...!
