We would like to wish a great big congratulations to our friends Sandi and Shawn. Sandi gave birth to a little girl, Emmeline Clare, on Friday, January 16th. Emmeline weighed 7 lbs, 10 ounces and was a whopping 21 inches long. So far, she is a pleasant and very sleepy little girl...and a little clone of her daddy as you can see below...(she has a beautiful mommy too...but I'm not sure if she would want her post-birth pictures on display for all to see, so I'll post more pictures soon.)
The fact that Emmeline is a girl was a shock to us all. Sandi and Shawn decided not to find out the baby's gender, but everything about her pregnancy led us all (including Sandi) to believe that she was having a boy. Sandi had very few bouts of morning sickness, minimal weight gain, and she was ALL belly that was not especially "high." So I officially give up in believing in the old wives tales. We are of course SO excited that she was a girl since we already have so many little girls who have been born into our friends circle over the past year. Poor Joshua, he'll have his pick of pretty girls in a few years for sure, but he'll be tortured for the first 18 or so years!Congratulations again, Gremmingers!
