Emma Kate is Here!!

Emma Kate arrived at 4:37pm (cst). She weighed 5lbs 13oz and looked great! According to her Kiki and daddy, she's "very pink" and has lots of dark hair. Brooks will post pictures as soon as he can. Brooks said Bethany is doing well and feeling very good. The doctors have already taken her down to the NICU, but Bethany was able to hold her before hand because Emma Kate was doing so well, and Brooks was allowed to cut the cord. Emma Kate was even given an APGAR score of 8/9 out of 10 (and they rarely ever give 10's), so this is wonderful news. Brooks said they should be able to go down to NICU to see her around 6pm (CST), so I'll post more once we've been updated. Thanks to everyone for all of your good thoughts and prayers!!
