Getting big!







Emma and I had our first road trip to Kansas City for the 4th of July. She did very well in the car and we only had to stop twice to eat. She got to meet lots of new friends in KC and loved seeing her uncle Jonathan and Aunt Alecia. Emma has figured out how to roll from her stomach to her back! She is getting so big so fast.

1 month old







I can't believe over a month has passed. It has gone by so fast. Emma continues to grow like a weed. She is going to be a tall girl. She is doing well, eating about every 2 hours during the day and goes 3-4 hours at night. We are trying to learn to take a nap in the pack n play instead of in the swing, but it is a slow process. I guess as long as she naps...

2 weeks old


Emma is 2 weeks old today! We are still working on getting adjusted here. Emma is now in charge of our schedules and lets us know when we can eat, sleep, etc. She had her first stroller ride this past week and slept right thru it. She got to meet her great grandma yesterday and did wonderful on the car ride and while visiting. I was so proud of her. She also got to meet uncle Jonathan and aunt Alecia who came in from KC to meet her.

We're home!

Wow! I can hardly believe it. We are home with our beautiful baby girl! We have been waiting so long and now the time has finally arrived. Now we are all getting adjusted to life with a new baby. It has been an awesome couple days. Emma was a little jaundiced (yellow), so we had a bililight that she had to wear around her. We had blood drawn wed am and thurs am to check her levels. Thursdays level came back good, so we got to take the light off and we go to the doctor in the am to have her weight checked and so they can make sure she looks ok.
It has been a major adjustment for Kramer (the dog). He still isn't sure what to think of this little person we have brought home. He is very interested in her, but when we first brought her home and she would cry he would bark. What a noisy house we had! He doesn't bark too much anymore when she cries, but if she makes any noise he goes over and checks things out. He will still whimper if she is making noise, but he is getting better.
Well, she just ate and is sleeping, so that's my sign to go get a little sleep until she wakes up again in a couple hours...

Happy Birthday Emma!!

















At 9:38 am on Sunday May 18, 2008 Heather and I were blessed with our little angel. Finally! She weighed 7.1 pounds and was 20.5 inches long. Both Mom and the baby are doing really well. Emma came to us with a wonderful set of pipes screaming her little heart out and we have something to look forward to for a very long time. Emma is expected to come home on Tuesday for her first encounter with Kramer. This ought to be interesting to see how the dog will deal with the new queen of the castle. Will post again later tonight as I'm off to see the girls at the hospital.
