Generational Gathering, etc.

It was a busy weekend for Emily.  We went to the home of her ancestors, Elwood, IN, for a celebration of life for her great-great-uncle Dick.  While there, we capitalized on opportunities for some pictures of the extended family. 



Four generations.  Rita, Theresa, Sara, and Emily.
Christy stopped in and was nice enough to pose for a photo opp.

It's a baby!!

Our day finally arrived.  Well, our hours finally arrived.  Last Saturday, May 5th, Sara woke up feeling "bad".  I'll spare you the details.  But, after waiting for a bit and walking around and taking a shower to see if it helped, she finally called the doctor to see what their opinion was of her symptoms.  Turns out, it was labor.  We went to the hospital, flew through triage, and were admitted.  Sara was in labor for a full 12 hours when all was said and done.  However, she got an epidural before they started the pitocin, so it probably wasn't as bad as it could have been.  Around 2 in the morning, she started pushing and they summoned the on-call doctor.  At 3:13, Emily Anne was born.
