Happy Halloween

Little Elephant

Her first sponge bath. She didn't cry at all and seemed to like it.

On the way home from the hospital ( with a little pit stop at the fire dept. to make sure she was in her car seat correctly)

This is her yawning....she has a big mouth (so that means she can really scream when she wants something)

Emma went to the Pediatrician this morning to check her bilirubin levels. They came back okay so our next appointment is next Thursday. She is almost back to her birth weight so she is on track with that. Ranger has done great. He doesn't seem to mind the crying (he just sleeps through it) and he doesn't seem jealous at all.

first bath

Videos of her just born

Her first check up just after she was born.

awake and alert

I will post some other videos later of her when she was just born. I was having trouble posting because of the their size so I am converting them to another file type. This is how alert she is when she is awake.

her eyes are finally open

more pics

This is my doctor, Dr. Pierce

Josh's first diaper change

Emma Grace has arrived

I started having contractions today at 4 and we were admitted at 7. They felt I should go ahead with a c section so she was born weighing 7 pounds and 4 oz and 20.6 inches long.

Well I am at 40 weeks today and no noticeable progress. I do have an induction scheduled for Friday if she decides to stay a little while longer.

Last night we went to watch the Summerville band perform their competition show and then out to eat at Oscar's.

39 Weeks

Here is my 39 week progression pic. One more week to go (hopefully)

38 Weeks

I am 38 weeks today and it feels like the last two weeks are going to last forever. I know that it will go by much more quickly than I think. This weekend we went to Daniel Island Park day. It was a nice, free, outdoor event that just promoted the use of the park and bringing your dogs and children out. We also got to meet up with Meagan, Jeff and Ava this week for dinner. It was fun to be able to catch up with them and get some good "mommy" tips from Meagan :)

36 1/2 weeks

Here is my cute Vera Bradley diaper bag. Jackie and Debbie got it for me and I was able to pick out the pattern I wanted. I love this asian style and I had it monogrammed with our last name initial.

This is our new glider for the baby room. I think we will get a lot of use out of this!!

34 Weeks

I took a 34 week photo. We decided to take one outside and with real clothes on (not just a tank top) I hope to get pregnancy pics taken this weekend so hopefully I'll have some more pics next week.

CSU Baby Shower

My work threw me a shower on Saturday and we really had a great time of visiting and eating.

32 Progression Picture

Here is my 32 weeks progression picture. Each day I seem to get a little bit bigger. I wanted to show how my tummy moves when she is active. I wish I could catch her when she is really rolling but this video shows she is jumping around a little bit.

DVD of ultrasound

I had a really long DVD and I tried to create a smaller clip but it is still 10 min long. There are some parts you won't be able to tell what you are looking at but there will be times it is very clear you see her face.

Take 2: 3D

Here are some of our 3D pics from today. She was a little more cooperative. I am working on trying to edit the DVD and hopefully I can put some clips on the blog as well.
I don't know if you can tell but I think she might look like Josh. We'll see!!!
