We had a bit of a scare with me after the surgery but all eventually settled down and I am doing fine. I had a rare reaction to the medication that the doc used for my spinal block and subsequently my heart rate dropped to 43 along with my blood pressure. A few shots of adrenaline got things back up to speed (literally) and then my heart rate and blood pressure were through the roof. After almost 5 hours in recovery they got me stablized and everything went smoothly after that. I was monitored by a cardiologist while at the hospital and EKG tests all came back great before I was discharged , so I am good to go.
Being born is rough.
Momma finally gets to meet him.....
All cleaned up...
Warren was SO excited to finally meet his baby brother and has been so sweet with him.
Family of four. Warren and Benjamin exchanged gifts. Warren picked out the green frog as a present from him to Benjamin (all his idea) and the blue train is for Warren from Benjamin.
This is a picture of the Hall Men. Dustin (Weston's brother), Natalie & baby Henry came into town on Saturday. It has been so great to have them here and we were especially grateful to be able to have family here to share this special time with us. 
Benjamin flashing his charm at a mear 30 hours old....yea, pretty much the cutest newborn EVER! 
While Weston pulled up the car this funny old man brought me down in the wheel chair. He was just chatting away asking me all kinds of questions. He was pushing me so fast I was a little worried about having a minor collision on the way down. He informed me that there was a hill in the floor and so he had to gain speed to keep up his pace. Weston flashed a picture right at the end of the journey. We made it accident free and are finally home.

Hooray!! Congratulations. I can't believe he's smiling like that. Lucky girl, he's probably going to be extra good-natured, unlike my grouchy baby. Ergh. I'll try not to be too jealous. Oh, and he looks like Warren!
Congrats! You guys do good work. Super happy that everything went well for you.
I want to hold that little guy! Um..and why do you look like you didn't even have a baby? Oh, maybe because you are GORGEOUS!!!!!!
he is so handsome! can't wait to meet him!
Hey Emily,
what a sweet little boy... He is just to cute. CONGRATS!!!!!
ALICHA
everyone looks great! I am so glad that dustin and family are able to be there to spend some happy time with you both. Interesting that you were saying you were pretty nervous before entering delivery - in light of the medication scare. I am SOOOOOOOO glad you are okay. (tears in my eyes...) I love you and hope all continues to go well. HUGS to everyone!
Yay! Congratulations! I can't wait to come over and see him. I think he looks like his brother, eyes and mouth at least. As soon as Paul has a second to stay home with the girls I will call you. I've got your back when your family has to return home.
love ya!
Congrats! I am glad that you are both doing well. He is so cute, look at that big smile!
You do look gorgeous in every picture!!! And he is precious as can be, and I love the fact that Benjamin gave Warren a present... very clever. Can't wait to see him... :)
Ps. Your floors look amazing, I love 'em!
He IS the cutest newborn ever! Congrats!
congratulations you guys! I wish we could be there, but alas... we are still poor. He looks like his brother! Can't wait to meet him one day. Once Larry gets a real job, then we might have extra money? Rhyan was very excited to see the baby on here. At first she kept saying Asher, but now she says "Benmin, Benmin..."
Emily! He is ADORABLE!! What a beautiful baby!! Glad to hear he did very well and that everything turned out okay for you. Congrats on your newest addition!!
