Yay!!! She is finally here! For those who haven't heard yet via facebook, family, or friends, Emma Grace Zanger was born March 24 in Seoul, S. Korea. She weighed 8 lbs 10 oz. and and was approximately 20 inches long. And, PRAISE THE LORD, we were able to deliver her without the need for a C-section. Thanks to all who were praying for us and supporting us during this time.
Eric, Emma, and I are now back at home working on settling into life with the 3 of us. Thankfully, Eric has this week off of school and then next week is Spring Break so he'll be here with us then too! We've taken a ton of pictures of Emma so far but I think I'll just try to give some snapshots of our lives the past week. We love Emma SO MUCH!!! Enjoy!

She is Soooo Adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteAwww, she is darling! a REALLY cute baby! And so glad you didn't need the big C, Laurie :) I kinda knew things would go fine, even if long-- I had noticed you seemed to imply you knew the induction date wouldn't necessarily BE her birthdate, and I wanted to say "good for you!" because that was the case with both my inductions too, LOL. Sometimes these things take a while, but are so worth it- right? :) She's beautiful, congrats to you guys!!
