Meet Emma! She was a perfect angel for her newborn photos. I’m so blessed with these little ones to snuggle each week. Check out her featured newborn story here!

Parent’s Name: Jeremy and Haly Johnson

Baby’s Name: Emma

How did Mom and Dad meet? We met in a bar in Mystic, CT.

How did you tell family and friends you were expecting? It was my brother’s birthday weekend and Jeremy and I were in CT visiting.  I had wrapped a framed ultrasound picture of Emma as a birthday present for my brother.  He opened it and there it is!  My whole family was around.

 

What was the best, most surprising or most difficult thing being pregnant? (Dad can answer, too) The best was feeling Emma move inside of me for the first time.  I whole-heartedly enjoyed being pregnant!

Did you find our the gender beforehand?  What were Mom and Dad’s reactions? Yes.  It was a competition between us and Jeremy won.  He was sure we were having a girl.

List the possible baby names, and how you narrowed it down. Olivia, Leia, and Isabella

 

 

 

 

Was labor and delivery what you expected?  If not, tell us how things were surprising or not what you expected.   Yes. And I would do it again!

What were Mom’s first thoughts when she saw her baby? And Dad? Mom: So you were the one with all the hiccups inside me!  Dad: She has almond shaped eyes and looks like mommy!

What have the first few weeks at home with baby been like? We have discovered the new meaning of exhaustion!
