Those People

Emerson Louise was born Saturday, March 15 at 10:43pm via C-section at St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica and weighing in at 7 pounds, 3 ounces and measuring 19 inches. I can't wait to share her birth story with you but until I can order my thoughts properly a few pictures and quick observations will hopefully hold you over.

What I can tell you is she is perfect in every way! Every cliche thing a parent tells you about their own child is absolutely true in our case. We are over the moon. You can often catch us just staring at her, exclaiming over the the way she blinks, and turns her head. I'm pretty sure one of us has already equated one of her hand grab's to a high level of intelligence and her quiet nature to a gentle and kind spirit. We are sooo everything first time parents are, and not ashamed of it either. We love being extra careful with her, checking on her when she's sleeping to see if she's still breathing, and taking a laborious 20 minutes to change her diaper. We unabashedly think she is the most beautiful baby in the whole wide world and if it weren't for the first time parent cautious syndrome we'd be showing her off to anyone and everyone willing to say she is the most amazing little thing they've ever seen.

The thing about being first time parents is you get to be those people and it doesn't matter one lick. We are deliriously thrilled and thankful and every other positive adjective in the English language.

more soon!
