It's a......

Baby #2 is a boy!!!! One of each, we are so lucky! I do have admit when I first heard it was a boy, I was a little shocked and scared! I thought, what the heck a I going to do with a boy? I am sure I will catch on, but I am glad Emma will have a brother. We had an u/s sound done on Monday..baby boy looks great! I on the other hand have placenta previa. My midwife doesn't seem too concerned as of yet, I will have a follow up u/s in a couple of weeks. We, will go from that u/s..I am hoping it just clears up and its nothing!! That is the quick update for tonight!

Summer in review: August

In August we were a little more laid back! Emma did go to Kingdom Bound with us and the youth group, but I didn't get very good pics of the trip. So Emma, enjoyed wearing mommy's red shoes, loved playing ballerina, and enjoyed her new chair!

Summer in review: July

July was a busy month for us..It started out with a trip to VA beach, emma helped me pack as you can see. Emma had her first visit to an aquariam and to the ocean! Also, Emma had her first sleep over with her friend Caden. The day her friend came over we went to Old Mcdonalds Farm and played with the goats. Emma also got her hair cut in july as well!

Summer in review:June

In June Emma turned one, and we celebrated with a party. She got her own "smash cake" played with her friends, and got a car! Fun was had by all!

I have been a bad, bad blogger!

Yes, I took the summer off from blogging. Why? just because we got busy. I did my blogging at night time, and this summer trying to get through the 1st and 2nd trimester of pregnancy and chasing a toddler around...I needed my rest! So, at last I am back! Why you ask? I found that writing, has been theraputic for me. I need the outlet. I only have two follwers, but I really don't do it for you guys(sorry). REally, its for me. I think I might tell more of my family about the blog to stay updated with the latestest on Emma and baby #2, but they will have to deal with my thoughts on certain things as well.

So, over the next week or so you will see, summary of summer in pics, a new layout and hopefully header, and deep insists from me. Just somethings that I have been thinking about over the summer time. Good to be back!

Happy Birthday Emma!

That is right...Emma is one year old today! Can ya frickin' believe it? Because I sure as heck can't! Other than dressing her up in a pretty dress for church today we didn't do too much special for her. Her birthday party is on Saturday and that will be a lot of fun. For youth group today we did smores, and called it Emma's b-day party! Of course Emma didn't get any smores though!

So Emma was born at 2:04am 6/7/08. I happen to wake up at 2:36 this morning and was up for about an hour and just thought back to labor and deliver and the first couple of weeks with her. Other than the troubles we had Breastfeeding Emma was such a great nb! She slept threw the night by 2 months! And other than being up for feedings she never really woke up much at the night. Days were always easy with her. Other than, the couple of times Emma has had ear infections she is usually pretty good. Now, with that being said...I officially have a walker and climber on my hands so, its not so laid back around here anymore. She keeps me on my toes most days! But ya know what? I wouldn't change it for the world. Emma, has brought a new kind of joy to my life. The moment she smiles at me, I can't help but to smile back. The way she leans her head in when I say "Give momma a kiss" melts my heart. And don't get me started on her laughter . I can not help but to laugh when she is laughing. So, I will leave you with some pics of Emma as a newborn. I will be adding more pics of Emma as a Toddler soon, and also of her birthday party!

It's 4am.

And I just ate a donut!


Emma woke up at 2am screaming and clinging to me. Then Rowdad woke up (or maybe he wasn't fully awake) because what he said could have made me blow my top. He said "Emma shut up" and then started lecturing her on why she should go back to sleep. Normally, this is something that would not come out of Dan's mouth to his 12month old daughter so, I am hoping he was half asleep and didn't realize what he was saying. I mean, that is the only explination to it....especially the lecturing part! However, do not frear he will get a verbal smack down from me in the morning whatever the case may be.

So, as I sit here watching Emma sleep, now I am wide awake! and hungry! So I debated...Do I want a donut, or a one of those yummy icecream cone sundaes. I decided to go with water and a donut. I don't feel bad one bit either.

Well, I am going to bed now...Good night.
