IT'S A GIRL!!!


Meet Emma Kate Woods...

Born 4:30am Friday morning, she tipped the scales at 9lbs 13ozs and stretched the tape to 22 inches!!!

FREAKIN' HUGE!

And all that baby with only 15 hours of labor and 45 minutes of pushing.

Becky was unbelievable. She was so calm and cool during labor and made the delivery look easy. She made it through delivery with minimal trauma and should be fully recovered within a few days.

She's amazing. Truly amazing. I'm so proud of her and my (already tremendous) respect level has just been multiplied exponentially.

So, we'll be in the hospital until Sunday morning. More pictures will follow shortly, but right now we've got our hands full trying to find the instruction manual. I think we left it in the delivery room...

Hey Emma!!

Our mommies were such good friends in college and so I'm sure that we will be the best of friends, too! Isn't life outside of the womb the greatest? I am so jealous of how big you are - I have a lot of work to do to catch up!!

Love,
Kaira (Bert and 'Becca's little girl)

p.s. I can't wait to meet you - maybe around Christmas time?!
