Ruby June Roberts was born September 21st 2009 at 1:55 pm in Santa Rosa California. At birth she weighed 8 pounds 2 ounces and was 21 and 3/4 inches in length.
Emily did amazing! Every cliche about child birth is true. I really had to witness it to understand. Emily is incredibly strong.
Her water broke at 12:17 am Monday morning. We headed to the hospital about an hour later and were admitted. She started pushing around noon on Monday and pushed for a little over 2 hours until Ruby June was born.
Ruby June came out looking just beautiful. I had prepared (from the information I received at the Kaiser birthing classes) for a freaky looking little imp covered in Vernix. She looked like a perfect little baby though. The picture to the left is just seconds after I cut the cord.
Here is Ruby getting her first bath! She did not enjoy it very much.
We have to thank Emily's parents Frank and Louann and also Ryan and Renae for helping us so much over the past few days. Renae cleaned our house for us and it was so nice to come home to a perfectly clean house. It was such a wonderful thing to do for us. They also came to visit with their new babies - Bella and Lulu - seen here.
Our daughter is the most beautiful baby in the word.
I'm feeling pretty blessed.
