Welcome Emma Katrín Marl!


Emma was born Saturday, May 16, 2009. She came in at 8 lbs 1.5 oz and 21 inches long. As you can see in the pictures below she has a full head of dark hair (and apparently her Daddy's lips or so I have been told). Lina was in active labor for 4 hours and 40 minutes, which went by quick for her mom and me. Not so quick for her. She was one tough cookie and did it all naturally and didnt yell at me, which I was happy about. Now we can add an Emma to the group of Evie, Beckem, and Ella. You can see lots more pictures at the baby website, but here are a few for everyone who frequents this blog.

Look at those long arms and legs!



Isn't mom looking great?
