Baby is Born!!!!

He finally came!!!!  Emmitt Lee Batt was born on Tuesday, December 21st 2010 at 1 o'clock in the morning.  He gave us a little bit of a scare and I had to have an emergency C-section.  Everything is good now and Emmitt is big and strong.  He weighed in at 7 pounds 4 ounces and was 20 inches long.  His hands and feet are HUGE, which means he won't be too short (we hope).  We don't have very many pictures of him right after he was born because it was an emergency C-section and Dave couldn't take the camera with him.  Dave also couldn't come in to the C-section because they put me under general anesthetic.  But.....all said and done we are both healthy and happy and ready to go home tomorrow (just in time for Christmas).  We are so very blessed to have such a wonderful little man in our lives.  He is beautiful and such a blessing.  We want to thank everyone who has supported us and want you all to know that we love you.   Here are the pictures so far but I'm sure we will have more (a lot more) on the way. 

Getting ready for Emmitt. Not knowing what was actually going to happen (sadly).

Thanks again to everyone!  We love you all.

  2. Congrats you guys!! He really is a cutie patutie! We can't wait to meet him and I'm sorry you had to have a C-Section Liz. That is not very fun but at least he got here and everything is okay. Enjoy every moment! Love you guys!
