Andrea is doing great, Nick is doing great and little Emma.....I'll post pictures later!!

Here's Nick and Andrea, this is early into labor, contractions weren't too bad and way before epidural.

congrats grandkids are amazing cant wait to have my own

Here's Emma, not a great picture of her but look at the hair!

Here's my mom with her great grand baby...this is her 4th great grand baby!

Baby Emma is soooo BEAUTIFUL !!! And tell Andrea that I don't look that pretty on my best day.

Sorry for the blue ribbon,no pink.

emma is just perfect and beautifull wow

Ok, this picture, mind you, we've all been up since 4:00 A.M. and this was taken around 2:00 so we're all half asleep in this photo, but here's the support system Andrea had and not all of us were here!

The whole process is just stunning isn't,weege? There she is, a whole little person.......

Thank you so much, all of you wonderful people!

Such a beautiful family,and now one more.........

Yup Sherry, a little person.

What a great photo, Weegy. How fun it will be to show that to her when she is old enough to understand. :-) Nice family.

Who's the cute blonde in the front ??? Couldn't be Grandma...she looks to young !

Oh I have goosebumps....I TOLD you how marvelous it would be to be there to welcome that sweet child!! I'm so thrilled for all of you!!! What a beautiful family!

I got here late Weege, but congratulations on your new grandbaby. I'm so very happy for you.

Hi Grandma....wait until you hear Emma call you that for the first time. It's another thing that will give you goosebumps. There's nothing like being a grandma now. I love my grandson so much and have a great relationship with him. Just wish I was going to have more..:-(

So happy for you and the family.
Hugs,
Donna

Louise your smile says it all!!

What a beautiful baby and what a great family, Louise !
Congratulations and hugs to all of you !

Oh such a beautiful baby, so sweet !!!!!!

- the big family picture is great... I love that pic of your mom and the baby, they both have little smiles.

Andrea looks fantastic and happy. Thanks for sharing : )

I'm still on cloud 9 over here! You all are wonderful, I will pass on the well wishes to Nick and Andrea...I just talked to her and could hear little Emma making noises!
Thank you all so much for being so wonderful!!!
(Yes, Tootsie, this is the only great grandchild that my mom will get to see regularly...the others live in Vegas and Utah. Hence the smile!)

Oh, my, that little girl is going to be spoiled wonderfully!

Not by me!

I didn't mean BAD spoiling, only good, loving spoiling - nothing wrong with that! :-)

What they said! All of the above.
Great photos of the whole family, especially love the photo with great Grandma, and Emma!
The smiles of exhaustion speak volumes. Get some rest now if you are not to giddy!
Walk in Beauty!

I knew what you meant Kathleen and was being sarcastic by saying I would not spoil her...no, not much!
I think I'm back to normal now, well I'm never normal but I have rested up sufficiently.
Andrea sure was a trooper during labor. Her water broke at about 3 A.M. Thursday morning, Nick called me at 4 A.M. saying that they had admitted Andrea. She was dilated to 3 cm. They started the potocin around 6 and she had some strong pain for a couple of hours, they gave her the epidural at 9:45 and from there it was smooth sailing. 3 pushes and little Emma was here! There were only supposed to be 2 people in the room when she delivered, Nick and myself but Andrea's doctor was the best, she let Andrea's 3 sisters stay, my future daughter in law stay and Nick's mom stay...the look on my other 3 daughter's faces when Emma poked out......priceless. I held Andrea's knee up during delivery because the epidural made her legs like rubber! Nick was on the other knee. It was like nothing I've ever experienced before.
Saw Emma yesterday, held her of course, and she is doing very well. Andrea and Nick are doing great, tired of course but extremely happy. Will get some pictures real soon!
I haven 't forgotten about the irises! Yea Synda for getting the weight right on and Tootsie for getting the closest to the birth date! I'll get those off to you real soon. Everyone else gets one too! Thanks for joining in on that fun all!!!
Grandma

Showed that pic of Andrea to DH and he said, "Yeah, sure, she's in labor." So tell her she was looking good from here, too!

So happy for you and the family, Louise. Ooops, Grandma!

Good to hear all are doing so well. Newborns are so special!

LOL Kathleen! She really was!
They sure pull at your heartstrings!
