4 weeks old

Its been a while since my last post, but Emma is doing well and growing like a weed. She just had her 1 month checkup and she is now 11 lbs, 3 oz and 22 1/2 inches long. Such a healthy girl! We had a little scare when I went in for my appt. one of her breasts was slightly swollen and red and had several knots in it. I have read and heard from other mothers that the swollen, hard breasts is normal at this age, but they were worried that one of hers was infected. So, I had to take her to the lab to get blood drawn, now I thought babies getting shots was bad, man try to watch them find a vein in a tiny arm to draw blood! ugh! It was horrible! and then to top things off the doctor decided to squeeze her little boobie to see if anything would come out and low and below milk came out, poor thing screamed the whole time, I would too if some doctor started squeezing my boob!! ha! But, the good news is we got the blood culture results back today and everything looks normal, so we are hopeful that it will go away on its own, its a little frustrating having to go back to the dtrs for 2 additional checkups, but I know they want to make sure its not getting any worse, what sucks is the $20 copay each time I walk through that door!

We had another first with her last night, she projectile vomited on me big time! I never experienced that with Aidan, but I realize all babies are different, its just not something I want to experience too often. I didn't realize it could shoot out of a baby like that, I was soaked from my shirt to my pants, not fun.

I am going to post some new pics and videos soon, I have just needed to re-coop from all this recent craziness!

More pictures!

Wednesday April 9th!

Here is a picture I found of Aidan at 2 weeks and one of Emma I took today, they look so much alike to me! Both are cuties!


Tomorrow Emma will be 2 weeks old! She's not quite back at her birth weight, but she's almost there. She has been such a wonderful baby so far, just like her brother was. She's hardly ever fussy unless she's hungry! ha! She is a very gassy baby, but I'm very thankful its coming out rather than staying in. I am nursing her and it is going so well, I was so worried that I would have trouble remembering everything, but it has all come back to me and she is a natural at it.

Here is a video I took of her today:

more pictures of Emma!

Welcome Baby Emma!

She's finally here, born March 27, 2008 at 7:42am at 10 lbs, 3 oz and 20 3/4 inches long. The c-section went as planned and all is well with Emma and family. As you can imagine its crazy in our house with a newborn and a toddler but we are slowly starting to get used to things. Here are some pictures to get you up to date.
