Emily Grace Donahue emerged at 12:59pm today- bottom first. She weighed in at 7lbs. 1oz. and was 19" long. The consensus is that if we had allowed her to go completely full term, she would have been another 8 lb. baby. The C-section went well and my recovery is on track. Emily scored an 8 and 9 on her very first "test" (the Apgar). Today has been pretty busy with folks in and out of the room all day. The staff here at Presbyterian has been EXCELLENT! Dr. Godsey preformed my surgery with Dr. Land. That was a nice surprise because I had been told Dr. Land wasn't going to be working today. Those two were quite a comedic pair in the OR. The most discomfort I've had all day has been from laughing. We'll do a better update tomorrow with some more details and maybe a few personal musings of my own. Here's a little peek at Emily.

What a cutie! I can definitely detect some Brad-like eyes there. =) I'm so glad everything with the surgery went well... we were thinking about you all day and hoping the process was smooth. Congrats!
