...ok REALLY cold!... 
...getting better...
...Ah, getting comfortable...
Yesterday, was Emma's one month birthday...hard to believe!!! Click HERE for the latest stats and pics!! She is getting big!
Emma didn't really like the bath in the sink...we might have to try the tub...for more sink bath pics (she has some funny faces) click HERE.
...I was not ready to cook yet the other day, and Angel was in heaven!!
This past week, Emma had her two week check up with the doctor....remember she was 7 pounds 9 ounces when she was born...so to find out her current weight....check out the journal entry on her website....HERE. 
Today was Emma Catherine's official due date. I have to say I am so glad to be holding her in my arms today and able to give her kisses. She is such an easy going baby. She grunts a lot and squeals a little bit, so as rude as it may sound, I have called her my "little piggy". Plus, the fact that she loves nursing and already seems to be filling out quite nicely. We go tomorrow for her first check up...will let you know the results!!
This picture pretty much sums up one of several things we are getting used to. Two car seats, double the diaper duty, double the baby laundry, using words like "babies" and "girls", two babies fussing at once, both of our arms loaded when going to church, playing tag team with who is needed with which child...we are slowly figuring out a new system, how to re-classify "normal routine" and how to keep Angelica from smothering her little sister, which we think she likes! To see lots of pics and read detailed updates, please visit Emma's site, HERE.
Meme made Emma a beautiful blanket, just like she did for Angelica. It is such a precious gift to have, not only because it is hand made but because it is from their great-grandma and I know they will treasure it forever. Thank you Meme!!
Yes, Emma Catherine made her grand appearance...EARLY! She arrived on Tuesday, November 20th at 3:24pm. 7 lbs 9 oz, 19 inches long. She is beautiful and healthy and HOME!! For all the fun journal details and lots of pics, please visit her website; click HERE. Thanks to everyone's prayers and support...especially Theresa Herring for being with Jason and I thru the entire labor and delivery and the Gray family for watching our sweet Angelica.....and everyone who has already stopped by, made meals, and just continued praying!! Enjoy the info and we will keep you posted.
Yesterday, Angelica had one of those lovely huge poopy blow outs...out the diaper, thru the clothes, down the leg. Lots of fun and stinky. So we immediately headed to the bathroom for an afternoon bath. While I was bathing her I realized that I barely done this over the past year. Bath time, as it was with my dad, has become Angel's and daddy time. They play, splash and get all sweet and clean. I treasured those moments with my dad and I am sure Angel will too! It was kind of funny because she was looking at me at certain times as if to say, "Why are you bathing me? Where is my papa? and Papa doesn't do it this way!" I realized how blessed I am not to only have a husband that is such a huge support and help to me, but how blessed Angelica is to have such a caring and loving papa. Thank you honey for all the countless baths and more you do for us!!
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord. And may perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithfully departed through the mercy of God rest in peace.
