3 Weeks Old!

Wow. I can't believe that Emma is 3 weeks old already! It seems like we were just sitting on the couch wondering if she would ever come. She has had a busy 3 weeks and is growing like a weed (probably because she wants to eat all the time)!

Uncle Tim and Aunt Annie came to visit last weekend, and Emma enjoyed all of the attention. Annie's parents said that Emma looks like Tim when he was a baby. Let's hope that they don't continue to see the resemblance as she gets older. :) (No offense to Tim.)

When Tim and Annie were here they cooked a couple of great meals for us and cleaned the kitchen every day. We told them they have a place to stay any time. :) Annie
also showed us some beautiful crosstiching she did for Emma's room.

Emma has been enjoying the bouncy seat that she received this week. She sleeps in
it, especially if the vibrator is turned on. She also likes looking at the toys
that hang above it. Also, the big news is that her umbilical cord fell off today,
so I'm sure we'll post at least one picture of her new belly button!

Week In Review

Emma has made it through her first busy week (and so have we)! She had her Grandma Jita visit all last week to help everyone get adjusted. Her Grandma Nancy came for dinner on Tuesday after she came home from the hospital. Max was excited to see Grandma Nancy too! On Friday Grandpa Bruce, Great Grandpa Wayne, and Great Grandma Opal came to visit. Great Grandpa Wayne was very proud that he was the first person to rock Emma in her new rocking chair, and Great Grandma Opal loved looking at all the pictures we took. Grandpa Bruce enjoyed holding his new grandaughter and kept telling her how smart she is. On Sunday, Emma was visited by Aunt Audrey and Uncle Ben who loved taking pictures of her. She is looking forward to spending the summer with Aunt Audrey, who will be her nanny. Today we had our first doctor's visit. He said that Emma was perfectly healthy, and she has gained back all of her weight, which normally doesn't happen until babies are 2 weeks old.

Home

Emma is home and doing well. She is starting to get on a schedule, which is nice! In this picture, she is doing her impression of "The Thinker", haha.

Rachel will start posting to the blog soon, so the posts will probably get more interesting.

Emma Day 2

Sleepy baby! After staying up most of the night, she decided to sleep most of the day. Perfect!
