Emma Grace Hartman

Our little warrior princess arrived at 10:22am this morning. She weighed in at 8.5 pounds and measured 21.75 inches (Kelly is currently accepting your sympathies for the labor). It was as it is always described: truly a magical experience. Our little sweetheart is healthy and doing well. She was even gracious enough to fill her pants and allow her father to change his first diaper this evening (a servant already...). Kelly was a champion and did incredible. I was so proud of her. We are still at the hospital as she recovers this evening (God Bless Free Wi-Fi from Kaiser. I feel myself "thriving" with each page I access). We'll post more pictures later this week as well. Thank you all for your blog comments, texts, phonecalls, and prayers. The encouragement was incredible, particularly for Kelly. We're so excited for you all to meet our daughter.

It doesn't hurt having a father-in-law that is a professional photographer.
