Introducing Emma Kennedy Barron




After a couple false starts, a painful Saturday of back spasms, a drive to the hospital in a blizzard, oh, let's call it 14 hours of labor, and throw in a 2 hour c-section procedure, Emma Kennedy Barron joined the vital statistics rolls at 12:19pm on December 16th. She weighted in a 7lbs 13 oz. She's got an incredibly shock of brown hair (that I somehow didn't adequatley capture on film...to be rectified soon).







Mother and baby are doing great. Dad's a wreck...



...Big Sister isn't sure what to make of this startling development.

Martin, your wife is a badass. And I think you look happier than I've ever seen you.

Wonderful, wonderful news.

She looks beautiful! I can't wait to see her. I am so glad that everyone is healthy and finally here. I can't wait to see Libby interacting with her.

Love you ALL!

The three hours this afternoon between the c-section alert call and finding out Emma was actually here seemed like the longest three hours of my life. So glad everyone is okay. We're excited to take Libby a few places during our visit, so tell her to hang in there.

Love,

Kandi

WHAT? Her name isn't Anna Karenina Barron?

I guess Eliza and I will just have to adore her anyway!

Congratulations!!! We can't wait to meet her. Please let us know if/what you all need.

Welcome to the newest member of the Wednesday playgroup! Sure will be interesting to see what all the 1-year-olds make of her! We're positively delighted for all of you and can't wait to meet little Emma. I may slip sometimes and refer to her as Hortis--just a warning!

You're a trooper, Kerri. WTG!!!

Congratulations on another beautiful little daughter, you guys. And if having 2 kids is harder than having 1, please just lie to me, OK?

Goodies are en route.

love all around--the Shea's

YAY! I knew if I headed over here, I'd see good news.

I'm so happy for you, Kerri and Martin. Libby, you'll learn to cope. Ellie can tell you more about it.
