1 Week Family Pics

My sister in law Bethany came over and took some cute pictures of the baby and of our little family! I think they turned out so cute! EmmaLyn is just such an easy baby to take pictures of because she is so beautiful! There were so many other cute ones but I just picked out my favorites!

Baby EmmaLyn Born 7/13/2010

Well I finally had my sweet little precious baby EmmaLyn! We went to the hospital on July 13 at 3:00 Pm. They gave me my epidural right away because I was already dialated to a 6 and started me on the platocin. At about 9:15 the Dr came and broke my water then said he thought it would be about midnight before I would have her. So he headed home to change and do a few things then said he would be back. The nurse came in around 9:45 to find that I had already dialated to a 10! She quickly called the Dr to tell him he better get back because my contractions were getting stronger and I needed to start pushing. After about 30 pushes and with the Dr there EmmaLyn came into this world at 10:25! She weighed 6 lb 2 oz and was 21 in long. What a quick and easy delivery it was! I am so happy to have her here and that I am now a mom to a beautiful healthy baby girl! Its still so unreal sometimes but I just love everything about her! She sleeps through the night and I have to wake her up to feed her, she hardly ever cries and she is just so easy to love! Scott is such a good daddy and we love this little angel!

Baby is coming!

I am headed to the hospital today to have my little baby Emmalyn! I'm so excited to meet her and hold her! I'm dialated to a 6 already so hopefully labor will go well! Here are a few pictures of her nursery and of my gigantic belly...Just for you Francie and Tiffany!

37 week update

I went to the hospital on Sunday due to some bleeding. Everything is ok but they advised me that I am already dilated to a 3 and 70% effaced! They sent me home And yesterday contractions started coming stronger and more often. Nothing to go to the hospital for yet but I really wonder if this baby is going to come early or if I'm going to be like this for 3 more weeks! It is all becoming more real to me now and I can't wait to hold my little baby! We packed our bags just in case and I am having someone come clean my house to get it all ready for little EmmaLyn. I am so excited to meet her and I can't believe it's so close! I'm so excited to be a mommy and Scott is going to be a great dad! He has been so supportive through my pregnancy with me throwing up everyday for 37 weeks and my large growing belly! I couldn't imagine my life without him!

3rd trimester!

Yea! I've hit 28 weeks and I couldn't be more excited!! I can't believe I only have 12 weeks left and then my little girl will be here! I can't wait to meet her and I'm getting very anxious! Some days I just cry (mostly because my hormones are all out of sorts) but also because I just want her here! I love feeling her little feet kick me, and her arms, and her hiccups, and when she does full flips in me and all the other little movements she makes! I think it's the greatest feeling in the whole world and I'm already so attached to her! People probably think I'm crazy because I am always touching my belly and rubbing it thinking that she can feel me! I can't wait to be a mom and I hope I can fill the role as good as my mom always has! I hope that my little girl with have the same trust and love and friendship that I have with my mom. I have been so blessed with such a great mom and I just hope I can do as good of a job raising my little EmmaLyn! We had another ultrasound at 26 weeks so here are a few pictures from that! In the video on the bottom you can see Emma's tongue moving all over the place.

San Diego Vacation

Here are a few pictures from the vacation the family took to San Diego! It was so much fun! We went to Sea World, San Diego Wild Animal Park, San Diego zoo and the Beach!

EmmaLyn

This was EmmaLyn at 22 weeks. We are now 25 weeks along so I'm a little behind on the blog but here she is! I just love this little girl so much and she kicks all day long! I'm so glad I can feel her so good now I love it! She has just started to get the hiccups and it's a fun feeling! I'm still sick but it's so worth it! We are so excited for her to come and I only have about 15 weeks left!!!

In her video you can see her mouth opening and closing! I just thought it was the cutest thing ever!
