February, 2008 Miss Emily has arrived!!Miss Emily joined our family Sunday night at 10 pm. She weight 7 pounds 12 ounces and was 20 inches long. My labor was farily short, contractions becoming regular and frewquent around 5 pm and completely intolerable around 9ish. I asked for Stadol since I'd had it before and hoping to take the edge of my contractions but it didn't do much forme except make me sleepy. So I asked for an epidural, which I received but that was short lived because the doctor broke my water and she was born not even 10 minutes after I received it! One push and she was out--the fastest labor and delivery I've ever experienced! And I'm still not sure how I delivered an 11 pound baby 3 years ago and she was only 7 pounds-answered prayer I guess :-)
Anyhow, she's here and beautiful and we couldn't have been blessed more. She's not even a week old and has already fille d aspecial place in our hearts. I can't wait to see the plan God has for her life and the benefit we'll receive because of her. November, 2007 Halloween/ParadeAt the kids' school every year they have a "Literacy Day" Parade. The students get to pick their favorite book/character and dress up as that person. Matthew was the "Red Ranger" and Alyssa was-but of course-Hannah Montana. :-) They had a good time parading around the school and showing off their favorite book. All the kids looked so cute in their costumes and enjoyed getting out of class for about 45 minutes.
After the parade was over, I took Andrew and helped in Matthew's classroom. One of our local news casters was the "special guest reader" and read his favorite story to the Kindergartner's. They had a good time at their Halloween-oriented centers and enjoyed treats afterwards--a big hit and a nice beginning to the festivities of the day! Hannah Montana ConcertFor Alyssa's 8th birthday she had the privelege to see Hannah Montana in concert. This was especially special because the concert fell on the actual day of her birthday-November 5th! Since I didn't think to keep the concert a secret I decided to get her the special makeover at Libby Lu. They sponsor Hannah Montana and had the makeover in honor of her concert. Alyssa decided against the long wig (good choice) and opted for the clip in hair piece that matcher her hair perfect and had some pink highlights in it. She looked adorable and was ready for the concert. As soon as we got the to Savemart Center she was already excited. We found our seats (which were awesome floor seats) and waited for the opening act. She likes The Jonas Brothers as well so their performane was fun for her. And after the dreadfully long 20 minute intermission, Hannah Montana came down singing in a pink box!! Alyssa could not contain her excitement and was jumping up and down. And I must admit that the adrenaline from all the screaming made me want to do the same but for obvious reasons, I couldn't :-)
The concert was a blast for me and I know it's something neither of us will soon forget. It was a special birthday for her and the bonding we had was incredible! I'm looking forward to many more birthdays with her! October, 2007 EmilyEmily is growing and making her presence known! She kicks and moves all over, all the time! The kids love "spending time" with her too. They like to lay in bed with me and rub my tummy, talk to her and blow raspberries! Just the other night Matthew was blowing on my stomach and apparently it startled her because she gave a forceful kick on his cheek, it was so funny
 I've continued buying things for her, mostly out of excitement but of course, she'll need clothes to wear when she's born. I plan on having another 3d ultrasound but probably not until I'm at least 30 weeks or so, when she's all filled out and chubby. :-)
The pregnancy itself has been pretty good so far. I've only gained 5 pounds (don't ask me how) and hope to keep it minimal since I was uncomforable with my weight before I got pregant. Besides that, it'll be easier to lose once she's born. September, 2007 New picturesI added some new pics for those of you who don't look at myspace. The one's of my baby are a little blury but I guess it's because they're pictures of pictures :-)
Enjoy! |
