Growing and Growing






The plus one in our family is continuing to grow today as she approaches the one day old mark. HOLD UP!!!..... Let me back up for a moment. For the past 9 months there has been some sort of large growth on Emily's stomach, yesterday we found out it was a baby (just kidding!) We went to Bryan LGH East at approximately 7:30 pm on Monday the 6th. Emily was induced and she really began to actually feel the contractions about 12 hours later. Doctors were somewhat concerned with the baby's heart rate as the contractions came her heart rate stayed the same. Apparently this is a possible indicator that the baby may not be able to handle contractions and/or the actual birth. Afer multiple consults from the doc's and surgeons they decided it would be best for the baby to be delivered via C-Section. This decision was made at about 2:30 pm on Tuesday and Mya Ada Hulse was born at 3:00 pm. As you can see from the pics, she has lots of beautiful hair and she started to lift her head up a little after her very first "burping session". We are so happy to have our daughter in our lives, especially with the excess of sleep that we were getting. Enjoy the pics!
