Emmitt Adrion Kinder was born!!!! So thankful for the gift of life, thankful for great nurses, a great midwife, and a great delivery. Thank you Jesus!! Will never forget the events of today.... From experiencing the first 7 cm naturally, to the beauty of the epidural, to Petie and I constantly updating family in the waiting room. Most memorable is obviously seeing him enter this world, and then seeing him weigh in at a whopping almost 9 lbs!

Love love love Emmitt and am loving getting to know him more already. He's already changing so fast!!!!!
