Little Emmy

I am just in love. She is just the best baby! Never cries, sleeps all the time. Today we took a 2 mile walk in her new stroller. She didnt make a peep. Slept the whole time. And then my Mom and I went and walked around downtown White Bear Lake. Again, not a peep. She is just such a trooper...Here are some new pictures.

Day 2

No complaints here. Emmy continues to be the BEST baby. She hardly ever cries except when she's hungry or has a poopy diaper - Which Brad is the master at changing! Last night went pretty well. We didnt get much sleep but not because Emmy was crying, just lots of nurses coming in and out to give me medicine and check on me. I am so itchy from the spinal but other than that doing pretty well. It's nap time here so I'm going to take advantage of that. Thanks for checking in!

I'm in love...

All went really well. She was born at 7:55 am, 20 inches, 6 lbs 14 oz. We are both doing very well. I'll post more pictures tomorrow.

Nursery Finally...

Well - we are almost done. As done as we are going to get before Emmy's arrival. I'm still waiting on a few pictures for the wall I ordered and a white frame that will hold her first pictures but I think it should work. We are extremely anxious and getting nervous but very excited that we will be holding our little daughter in our arms tomorrow!!!

We will try to keep everyone posted on this blog with pictures. Hopefully I can put some up tomorrow night...if not, for sure on Saturday. Thanks everyone for all your kind words and gestures! Wont be long now. Emmy is excited too. I think she is throwing a going away party for herself in my tummy - she is really moving!

Final days....

Countdown....7 days

Well, in one week I will be a mom! Doctor's appointment (38 weeks) went well. Emmy is moving a ton, growing well and hasn't moved out of the breech position but that's okay. Next Friday we have to go in at about 5:30am - procedure is at 7:30...I'm so excited but scared too.

I've gone into major shopping mode trying to buy the last minute things for the nursery. I will upload pictures soon. Waiting for a few things to come in the mail. I meant to clean the house today but just too tired. I will do it tomorrow morning first thing!

Brad is taking me out to dinner tonight, probably our last dinner out for awhile! I hope this last 7 days flies by!

Just a note - if anyone wants to visit us at the hospital, I will be there for 3-4 days and they dont let any visitors in between 2-4pm everyday - I guess that is nap time :)

10 day countdown

Well, I survived my 2nd to last Monday at work. It is getting incredibly hard to drag myself in. This morning I was up at about 4am and gave up on sleep so was at work by about 6. Makes for a long day...No wonder I'm so tired and thinking about heading to bed here in about a half hour...

I've been asked to post another picture of my belly. I am huge. I am so ready for the 14th. But if Emmy wants to come earlier fine by me!! She has been SO active lately that I'm constantly trying to push her foot back in as she likes to stick it out so far on my right side it feels like she's going to break through my skin. I'm guessing it's getting a little cramped in there for her.

I will post new pictures of the nursery this weekend hopefully. Just have to buy a few more things to make it complete. My mom, sisters and Dianne threw me a shower last weekend. That was so nice of them. She is going to be one spoiled girl! So we are pretty much ready. Winston is ready too. Every morning before he will follow me downstairs to go outside he has to go into Emerson's room and see if she is in her crib yet. Nope...not yet.
