Katelyn Elizabeth

At Friday's wedding, I was doing some detail shots and I feel my cell phone vibrate in my pocket. Normally I don't answer it, but when I looked I saw it was the number to Greenville Memorial Hospital (once you have a call from that number in the middle of the night, you don't ever forget it). I figured I better answer it..... Well, it was Charlotte, one of my best friends. She was telling me they were admitting her and inducing her on Saturday morning. Although she wasn't due until July 23rd she had some problems with her blood pressure and they thought it was best that they go ahead and let her deliver.

I told her that we had a wedding Saturday but I should be able to stop by on our way to it. I was kind of disappointed and had already accepted the fact that my visit would probably be before she gave birth. Although I love my job, the one thing I can't do is go in late or call in sick when I have a wedding to shoot.

We get ready to leave our house and her cousin calls me to let me know that she was getting ready to push. Marty and I debated on what to do first....hospital or lunch. So, hospital it was.....and we did good. We timed it just right. Little Miss Katelyn Elizabeth was here and all cleaned up so I was excited that I was able to see her!!!!

All of our gear was packed up in our bags, but I did grab my point and shoot to take in to the hospital with me. So, here she is.... Miss Emily was a proud big sister!
Daddy had to help Emily hold her new sister!
Charlotte, Jeff and Emily...I'm so happy for you guys and so glad that everything went well. I hope you are home now. I've been trying not to call you because I'm sure everyone else is and I know you needed some rest. I will give you a call and check on you....and hopefully get to stop by and see Katelyn again! Congratulations!
