Emmy's Busy Weekend

Emerson had visitors from Indiana and Michigan this weekend! One of my best friends and her family came from Michigan to meet Emmy. It was so sweet seeing Auntie Tara, Uncle Jayson and Jayden interact with Emerson. Jayden was sooo gentle with Emmy--his mommy thinks it might be time to get him a little brother or sister ;) Little Miss Popular-- 2 weeks 4 days

On Saturday we had some family visit from Indianapolis. Aunt Nancy, Jeanne and Sarah were taking a road trip for Sarah's spring break and decided to make a stop in Cleveland. We are so glad they did!

Day 10

Emerson was 10 days old yesterday. It was a milestone day--she lost her umbilical cord stub and received her social security card in the mail. She is such a precious precious girl! She continues to sleep and eat well and brings a smile to our faces every time we look at hers. We are so blessed to be her parents! Auntie Chandy holding Sleeping Beauty

Introducing Emerson Nicole!

Emerson has arrived! This picture was taken yesterday to celebrate her first week of life. As you can see, she wasn't very happy at the time--she was hungry! Mommy and Daddy are soooooo in love and doing very well. Emmy is doing a great job eating and sleeping which make our jobs a lot easier! Both Justin and I think things are going WAY BETTER than we expected--we heard a lot of horror stories. Emerson weighed 9 pounds 1 ounce and measured 21 3/4 inches long. She is very healthy, super sweet and extra adorable! I will update again soon :) We are trying to get caught up during her nap time. She (for the past 3 days) has put herself on somewhat of a sleep schedule. She sleeps from about 10-2 each day--I told you this kid is awesome! God has surely blessed our little family!

It's Guess Date!

Well, baby girl's "guess date" has come and almost gone and still no little girl. Despite wanting to meet her more than anything, I am doing well. The worst symptom I have is swelling in my feet. I am "nesting" like crazy--but the swelling in my feet makes it tough to stay on them for too long. One week or less until we get to hold, kiss and gaze at our daughter for the first time! So looking forward to it--we love her so much already!

Update from Appointment Today

Tomorrow is our due date but here is the anti-climatic news: there has been no progress. Baby girl has not dropped at all. Dr. says that the baby dropping is what causes the cervix to dilate and since she isn't moving down, dilation isn't guaranteed. He said a c-section is looking likely at this point. We have one more appointment on Tuesday and if nothing is happening then we'll be induced next Thursday. I am feeling a little discouraged, but it is nice to have a light at the end of the tunnel! Looking forward to meeting baby girl soon!
