I'm a daddy!

Thank you guys! We just got home about an hour ago. Luckily we were able to have her in Almonte, ON so the hospital is only about 3 miles from here. Rather than having to drive into Ottawa, which is still only 20 miles or so, but we would have been stuck in rush hour traffic on the way if we would have had to go there! :jaw: Getting settled now, Emma is having a snooze in her bassinet, and our chocolate lab, Maggie is sitting beside me here on the couch. She loves the baby! Hasn't taken her eyes off her. It's pretty funny, anytime Emma makes a peep or moves Maggie gets off the couch and goes over to sniff with her tail wagging to make sure she's okay, then comes back and lays beside me until she moves again. The cat on the other hand doesn't know what to think... I set the car seat down when we first came in the house and Emma was sleeping. Went and set the cat down at the edge of the car seat, and then Emma moved. The cat jumped back like she saw a ghost with wide eyes and side stepped away LOL!

Oh well, the long 9 month wait is finally over. It's so surreal to have my first daughter before my eyes. Unbelievable feeling!

It will sure be nice to sleep in our own bed tonight too.

Thanks fellas! Emma is doing great Only gets up a couple times during the night for a snack and sleeps really good for a newborn. We usually have to wake her up in the morning for her breakfast. She sleeps so sound too, I was playing with the dog yesterday and told her to "speak", Emma was asleep beside her and didn't even flinch when Maggie barked. She gets that from Daddy. :clown: The health unit called this morning and a nurse is coming to check on her and momma after lunch, then Emma goes to her first doctors appointment on Thursday. I'm so happy I have a weeks holidays!
