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!
