First off, we posted our blog addys on MB website today, so if you are here from MB today welcome! Enjoy and feel free to follow Emma, me , and my DH on our journey of life together!
So, it has been awhile. Lets talk about Emma for a minute! She is 10 1/2 months old. She is standing on her own, taking some cautious steps here and there. Last week she came back from my mom's house saying "uh-oh" when she drops something and "boo" when we play peek-a-boo. She has five teeth all coming in at the same time so suffice it to say she has been a little "moody." I love her all the same though! She is getting closer and closer to her one year b-day and I can't believe it! This has been the fastest year of my life! As I look back over the months I am sad to know that my baby is more a toddler now! However, I am so excited for the new phase in our life! It is fun seeing her do new things!
It has been a rough couple of months for me, because of that I took a incomplete in my classes and will only be doing one at a time from now on. I have entertained the thought of going back to work full time but, I have not found anything that really excites me! So, for now I will be selling Mary Kay makeup. I am excited to see if I will do well, and more excited about all the free, and half off products that I get! Well, I think that is it for now. Once Emma goes to sleep tonight I will post some pics from the last month or so!

Awesome day!
Emma did not wake up at all last night! Praise God! I am wondering if it has anything to do with the fact that we gave her tylenol before she went to bed (we found out that along with her two top front teeth breaking through the ones next to those are too).
So, that makes for an awesome day! We woke up at 7am and did laundry and cleaned up the living room. Also, husband is coming home at lunch time so we can spend some family time at the park because the weather is so nice! I don't have to make dinner tonight (that is always a plus) because we are having a turkey dinner with the in laws. Then, I am meeting up with an old friend. Wohoo!! I will def have to add some pic laters. I have a lot of them to show off lately!

Sleeping
Is not really happening for mommy these days!
thats because Emma has gotten again to a routine of screaming until I pick her up! This is the problem I did a couple of times because she was teething and she was in pain. Well, now she just wants her mom to hold her every night sometimes more than once. I am fine with letting her cry it out but, Daddy on the other hand can't sleep when she does that! I am tempted to say suck it up buddy!
Last night I did do it differently, I just held her until she fell asleep, before I was bringing her in bed with me. So, that means I am staying awake until she is back to sleep for good. Most times I will put her down and she will wake up five mins later..So, we do it again until she is out for good! I hope this changes soon this mommy is tired!

Easter
Tomorrow we will be celebrating Easter. As a kid Easter wasn't a huge holiday..We got baskets filled with candy and eggs we had decorated ourselves, and have a nice dinner. However, as I grew in my Christian faith Easter has become more exciting to me. Its not all about Easter bunnies and candy. It is about Jesus dying on the cross for our sins, then leaving the tomb empty three days later. The fact that I am excited about celebrating this gives me hope!
Although I may be questioning a lot of things I can not question the fact that there is a living God. I have been thinking a lot about healing. I will admit in the last two months I have gone back in forth on what I believed. Is healing for today? how active a role do we play in it? Is it random? Can God heal everybody? Questions like these literally haunt me almost on a daily basis. Why is that? Well, I tend believe I have had a pretty powerful experience with it myself. About a month before I found out I was pg with Emma I had undergone some fertility testing. I had an HSG done, and I found out two things. One, that my right Fallopian tube was blocked(but the test itself seemed have to removed the blockage) and that I have a small wall on the top of my uterus. The top of my uterus is slightly missed shaped however, no fully a bicournate heart. I was told that each and every pregnancy will be a bit risky because of this. It raises the chance of miscarriage or delivery a premature baby. At that time I hopped on praying and asking others to pray for me because I knew I wanted to be a mother. A month later I got pg! I was so excited and a little anxious. They got me in for an ultrasound at 10wks and found that my uterus was completely NORMAL! Serious, just month before that it wasn't. The midwife when she saw the notes from the person who read the ultrasound was baffled and just chalked it out to maybe the baby being in there stretching everything out. I clung on to the fact that God had touched my uterus and is going to sustain the pregnancy and this baby.
Fast forward to Dec 08...I had a chemical pregnancy at about 5 weeks. Because I was so early all I needed was a blood test to confirm my numbers(the were to not officially pregnant anymore) and I didn't have to see my midwife. However, I did get a chance to talk to her and she did convince me I was indeed pg at one point but, probably due to my uterine problems we lost the baby. Or in Feb of 09 Katya passing away. Why was I healed in once instance and not in another? Or why was I healed and Katya couldn't be saved? All these question haunt me, and hopefully one day I will come to terms with it and my faith will be stronger than ever.
For now though, I will go to church tomorrow and celebrate the fact that Jesus is alive.

I will update!
Okay, its been a couple of days! I suppose my life is so boring that I feel like nobody wants to read about it lol. I have however, been reading about other people's lives in blogs. For the last couple weeks now I have been entrenched in this blog http://mycharmingkids.net Please pray for Stellan he is a sick baby boy. But, in all of this his family stands firm on God!
So a quick update on Emma. She had her 10 month appointment on Tuesday. I am proud to report that she is advanced in all areas tested! I am not sure if that means a lot in the whole grand scheme of things but, she mad Mommy proud. Now, we are working on table foods. As most of you know I am a paranoid mommy(case and point Emma still has not slept a night upstairs in her own room!) well, anyways I have be Leary to give her stuff other than baby food. However, it was suggested that we get right on it! So far, she loves cheese, bread, pancakes, and the little veggie sticks that Gerber makes. Okay, so I should be giving her a lot more..I am just all out of ideas. Really she can have anything that can be easily mashed in her mouth! We will be working on this.
Also, we are going to start transitioning from bottles to just sippy cups, and going from formula to whole milk. Probably in a month from now we will work on getting ready of the pacifier. We will see how easy that goes!

As the world turns....
Emma gets older!
Emma will offically be 1o months old next week. On wed we bring her in for her developmental appointment. I guess they will be seeing where she is in her fine motoral and gross motor skills. They will be assessing the milestones she has achieved so far. For some reason I feel some pressure in bringing her in. I was so excitied to have her start standing on her own at the beginning of 9 months however, she has now decided that she doesn't want to do that on her own! She is a stubborn little lady.
She is starting to babble a lot more, I can't wait to hear start talking. We are starting to give her more table foods lately. This week she has gotten cheese sticks, and pancakes. We figured that since she has two teeth on the bottom and the other two in the front top coming it..its time to move her from just eating purred to chucky things. This is scary as an over protective mommy but, I will get over it!
We are also starting to plan her birthday party...I can't wait. I just can't believe my little girl is going to be a year old in just 64 days!
