And now, the pictures you all probably scrolled down to the bottom first to see: [caption id="attachment_558" align="aligncenter" width="640" caption="Emmett's Apgar Test Moments after Birth"]![Emmett's Apgar test moments after birth.](https://www.littlebabylump.com/Portals/188884/Images/dsc01432.jpg "Apgar Test")[/caption] [caption id="attachment_563" align="aligncenter" width="640" caption="Mom, Dad & Baby Lump Emmett"]![Mom, Dad & Baby Lump Emmett](https://www.littlebabylump.com/Portals/188884/Images/dsc014331.jpg "Mom Dad & Baby")[/caption] [caption id="attachment_564" align="aligncenter" width="480" caption="Grandma Lucy"]![Grandma Lucy](https://www.littlebabylump.com/Portals/188884/Images/dsc014391.jpg "Grandma Lucy")[/caption] [caption id="attachment_565" align="aligncenter" width="640" caption="Grandpa Mac"]![Grandpa Mac](https://www.littlebabylump.com/Portals/188884/Images/dsc01440.jpg "Grandpa Mac ")[/caption] [caption id="attachment_566" align="aligncenter" width="640" caption="Father and Son"]![Father and Son](https://www.littlebabylump.com/Portals/188884/Images/dsc01449.jpg "Father and Son")[/caption] [caption id="attachment_568" align="aligncenter" width="640" caption="Old Man Emmett / Emmett the Worm"]![Old Man Emmett / Emmett the Worm](https://www.littlebabylump.com/Portals/188884/Images/dsc014521.jpg "Old Man Emmett / Emmett the Worm")[/caption] [caption id="attachment_569" align="aligncenter" width="640" caption="Mom & Her Little Man"]![Mom & Her Little Man](https://www.littlebabylump.com/Portals/188884/Images/dsc01464.jpg "Mom & Her Little Man")[/caption] [caption id="attachment_570" align="aligncenter" width="703" caption="A Perfectly Wrapped Baby Burrito"]![A Perfectly Wrapped Baby Burrito](https://www.littlebabylump.com/Portals/188884/Images/dsc01472.jpg "Baby Burrito")[/caption] [caption id="attachment_571" align="aligncenter" width="609" caption="Mom, Dad & Baby"]![Mom, Dad & Baby](https://www.littlebabylump.com/Portals/188884/Images/dsc01479.jpg "Mom, Dad & Baby")[/caption] [caption id="attachment_572" align="aligncenter" width="705" caption="Emmett on the Go"]![Emmett on the Go](https://www.littlebabylump.com/Portals/188884/Images/dsc01480.jpg "Emmett on the Go")[/caption] [caption id="attachment_573" align="aligncenter" width="640" caption="Nana"]![Grandma Kathy](https://www.littlebabylump.com/Portals/188884/Images/dsc01481.jpg "Nana")[/caption] [caption id="attachment_574" align="aligncenter" width="677" caption="Aaaaaah ...
