Emily

Emily Keller
9 lbs 7 oz 23 inches long
July 14, 2010

9 months in production, much morning sickness, tiredness and laboring. And deliberating over her name. But she is finally here, our Emily girl. She looks just like Bella did...not quite as fat but just as long!

What is The Chicken House? When my oldest became a big brother, he realized that his spot in moms arms while she rested on the couch had now been taken over by his baby sister. He decided that he would make a new nest in the crook of my legs which he fondly dubbed his "chicken house". Six children later this little spot made by the crook of my legs is coveted whenever I sit down or lay on the couch. In fact, I can't ever sit anywhere without one of the kids sitting on me. They love to snuggle and get their toes warmed and we have come to think of the Chicken House as any place where you feel safe, warm and happy.
