On May 26, 2010 we welcomed our precious little girl, Emily Katherine Corbitt, into the world. She weighed 7 lbs. 10 oz. and was 20 in. long.
I was scheduled for a c-section at 7:30 and was a complete wreck! We arrived at the hospital at 6:00 and they began prepping me for surgery. As I laid in that bed, I thought of the thousands of things that could go wrong! I am quite the worrier. The day before, I had tripped and fell right on my stomach. I also worried that my fall could have done some damage to our baby girl. My doctor came in a little about 7:30 and informed us that my surgery was pushed back due to an emergency c-section. This gave me another hour and a half to get my nerves stirred up. By this point, I was very anxious to meet our little girl. Who would she look like? Would she have a lot of hair? How much would she weigh? All of these questions helped to calm me. I had family coming in and out and I enjoyed my visit with them. About 9:00 they wheeled me to the OR. Thomas begged my doctor to allow him to be in there with me when they made the cut. They don't usually allow people to do this in case the mother feels pain upon the cut. Dr. H is so wonderful and allowed him to be in there from the very beginning. This c-section was a much better experience than my first. I am so glad we decided to change doctors. At 9:50 a.m. our sweet little girl was born!
I had a WONDERFUL 3 day stay in the hospital with hardly any visitors. It was a really nice time to relax and recuperate.
I will try to update as often as possible. My time now seems to be limited with a very active 2 year old and a newborn. Stay tuned......

i just LOVE the coming home pictures at the end. she is just beautiful katie!!! i completely understand about the big brother/sister thing. addie was HORRID the first 2 weeks we were home. she would do the opposite of anything and everything we asked or that she knew was right. she was an angel to the babies but her behavior in general was awful! it has gotten a lot better though and continues to! i am sure it will be the same for edward. we will be praying for a quick adjustment for him!!! let me know when you want to update either your blog header or complete design. we need to get that sweet emily kate in your header!
