Emily's Arrival

As we've only recently gotten a handle on some semblance of a schedule-I've only now uploaded the videos from our camera-here's a clip from Emily's arrival just one month ago!

Spring has sprung!

Emmy had her two week checkup today and has weighed in at 10lbs! (That's almost one pound a week since birth-woot!) She's also grown to 22in (about 2 inches taller than a month ago!) She's eating like a champ though still spitting up regularly (glad we got those high efficiency washer/dryers!). Turns out she does not like to be swaddled (as her brother did) and she already takes a pacifier (which he didn't). So different!



For the past few weeks, Gubby has been going on his first official 'play dates' to a friend's house named Joel. Here's a picture of Joel and his mommy, Milly.



Gubby had the chance to finally go swimming again! Spring has topped 90 degrees here and the pool is barely warm enough to tolerate (but the boys love it!) Emily just slept throughout the swim time.








Easter was very nice! We had Aunt Ruthie and some friends over (we love you, Jeni and Whitney!) and had a real southern lunch and egg hunt! We feasted on ham, baked zucchini, zipper peas, and brownies!






Thanks, Mere and Pawpaw for my new lawnmower and my outfit!

Compare and contrast

Baby Emmy and Company

It's been two weeks and although little housework has been done and Gubby is often trying my nerves (even though he really is a great kiddo) - oh, and did I mention I have a cold? - but Emmy is doing great! Born at 7lbs. 11oz, discharged at 7lbs. 4oz, she's up to 8lbs. 9oz as of her second week weigh in. She goes back in to see her doctor in two weeks and is doing fine!

Gubby is adapting well, he poked her a lot when she first came home but he's working to say "baby" and often kisses her head and feet with a "muah!"

We have her delivery video to post still but here are some pictures of our littles!
