Anna and her husband Peter were very excited. They were expecting their first baby. The baby was coming in three weeks. They had prepared the nursery with great care. The walls were painted light yellow. There was a beautiful white crib in the corner. Anna had bought many tiny clothes for the baby. One night, Anna woke up with a strange feeling. 'Peter, wake up! I think the baby is coming!' she said. Peter jumped out of bed immediately. 'Are you sure? The baby is early!' he said, worried. They drove quickly to the hospital. The nurses welcomed them warmly. 'Everything will be fine,' a nurse said with a smile. After several hours, they heard a beautiful sound. It was their baby crying for the first time. 'It is a girl!' the doctor announced happily. Anna held her daughter for the first time. She had tiny fingers and a little nose. 'She is perfect,' Anna said with tears in her eyes. Peter looked at his wife and daughter with love. 'What shall we call her?' Peter asked. 'I think we should call her Emma,' Anna said. 'Emma. That is a beautiful name,' Peter agreed. The next day, Anna's parents came to visit. 'Let me see my granddaughter!' Anna's mother said excitedly. She held baby Emma gently in her arms. 'She looks just like you when you were a baby,' she told Anna. After a few days, they went home with Emma. The first night at home was difficult. Emma cried many times during the night. Anna and Peter took turns feeding her. 'Being parents is harder than I thought!' Peter said tiredly. 'But look at her sweet face,' Anna smiled. They learned something new every day. They learned how to change diapers quickly. They learned which songs made Emma stop crying. Weeks passed, and Emma grew bigger. One morning, she smiled at her parents for the first time. 'Our little family is complete,' Anna said happily.
