Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome the adorable, the tiny, the amazing

Emily Rebecca Macias!

On Monday I had a Dr. appointment for an ultrasound to check the size of the baby. They were able to verify it was a girl and that she was getting pretty big (Dr. Lindstrom thought maybe 9lbs) Since Tavian was an emergency c-section at 9lbs 5oz we agreed 9lbs was cutting it too close and scheduled a c-section for Tuesday morning 7am (way too early for me). She was born at 7:40 am weighing 9lbs 8oz!! She was 19.5 inches long. Boy am I glad I had a c-section! I never would have been able to push her out. Julio says its because I eat too much junk food, but I only gained 15 lbs this pregnancy and Dr. Lindstrom says I just have big kids so of course I side with the doctor. I mean after all he is the professional.

We delivered at Banner Desert. All of our children have been born there and I love it! The nurses are so nice and everyone really takes care of you. My Mom stayed with me the first night and Julio stayed the other two nights. They took turns taking care of the kids at home and me and Emily at the hospital. The kids I think have decided to keep little miss Emily. Eliana already has a nickname for Emily, SweetPea, and we've all already taken to calling her that. Tavian I think was a little worried at first but has already started showering her with kisses. We also got flowers, gifts, and visits from my dad, my brothers and sisters-in-law, my mother-in-law, and Laurissa. Thank you all for loving us so much!

Anyway, we just got home from the hospital today. They said I could stay until tomorrow, but my brother Jon is leaving next week on his mission and is speaking in Payson on Sunday so I wanted to hurry home for that. Also, Eliana's birthday is tomorrow and I wanted to be home with her to celbrate. She's turning four and we found a bike we could afford brand new. She loves her little tricycle but she's had it more that 2 years and she's way too big for it now. I want to be there to see her face when she gets this new one. As soon as it calms down a little I will post more pics. Also I am a little intimidated at having 3 now and welcome advice from those who are already there.
