Happy Birthday to Emily!

Here are Emily’s 12 months stats:

Weight = 21.5 pounds
Length = 30 inches (75.5 cm)

She now has 6 teeth (4 on top and 2 on bottom).  She is eager to move, so I don’t think it will be too long before she walks.  She is starting to say a few words like mama, dada, and hi.  She also gives kisses when asked; too cute!


Although this is Emily’s 2nd Christmas, this one will be a lot more fun for her since for her 1st Christmas last year, she was not even 3 weeks old!

Where has the time gone?

Emily is 6 months old!!!  She weighs 18 pounds, 10 ounces and is doing amazing!  I am so blessed to have 2 little darlings.  They are the light of my life!

Life is busy these days.  Julie is taking dance and soccer and then we try to have some playdates, time at the Y, and visits at my mom's daycare.  I feel like I am more busy now than when I was working!

We are having Julie and Emily dedicated at church on Sunday, so that should be good.

The lawsuit is still ongoing.  I have not heard a thing since the settlement conference and that was 3.5 months ago.  Not sure what the holdup is, but I hate being in limbo like this!  So stressful!

It has been a bit of a whirlwind

Turns out the health issues were related to my gallbladder, which I needed to have removed in February.  I had 100 stones!  Crazy!  Surgery went well, but part of my recovery was that I couldn't lift Emily for 4 weeks.  That was a challenge for sure.  But, we made it through just fine.

Hard to believe Emily is 4 months old now!  She weighs 17 pounds and is 26 inches long.  Big, healthy girl!

We also found out yesterday that my brother and his wife are having a boy!  Very exciting!

We had the settlement conference for the lawsuit in late February and it appears as though we have reached a settlement.  So, fingers crossed, the lawsuit could be over!  That would be awesome!

Life with 2 daughters...

... is amazing!  I am a happy mom!  Life has been very busy lately, but so good!

We had a great Christmas... lots of time with family. 

Emily Rose is now almost 8 weeks old!  We have been discharged from the midwives care now, so we're done with them.  I had my last appointment there last week and I almost thought I was going to cry.  I loved my midwife so much; she gave me a big hug when I left and I thanked her so much; she made the birth experience very enjoyable!  She told me again how great I did.  That could be our last time at their office, who knows.  At this point, we are undecided if we'll have a third child.  We could very well be done.  I have convinced hubby to put off that decision until Emily is at least 2 years old and then we'll revisit it.

We are so lucky with Emily; she is such an amazing baby!  Sleeps at least 4 hour chunks at night - sometimes as long as 6 or 7 hours!  She is a very good eater and has been gaining weight like crazy!  We'll find out exactly how much she weighs at her first doctors appointment on Thursday.  I think she probaby weighs at least 13 pounds by now.

I have been experiencing some health issues in the last few weeks.  On 3 separate occasions, I have had severe pain in my back and abdomen.  Looking back, I think it is the same pain I had once nearing the end of my pregnancy that landed me in the hospital.  Well, I think the pain is gallbladder attacks.  I have an appointment tomorrow morning for an abdominal ultrasound to try to get to the bottom of what has been causing my pain.
