I find it ironic that after multiple years of joking about having a baby on April Fools,
The 25 hours of labor went perfectly (well as perfectly as 25 hours of labor can go), and Ali was able to have a successful VBAC. Ali and Emerson (or "Emer") are both doing well. We appreciate all of your thoughts and prayers on our behalf. We know it helped.
Also, many thanks to all our friends in Virginia that have helped, or offered to help, so that we could go to the hospital.
Emerson Lincoln Essig
was born at
1:34 am on April 1, 2013
6 lbs. and 12 oz.
19.5 in.
Looks like April Fools had the last laugh.
