Three Weeks Old and Checkup

I cannot believe that Emerson is 3 weeks old today!!! Time is going by so fast with her too! She is still just the sweetest little baby. I wish she would stay like this forever but just sleep through the night. :) 

We just now had our two week checkup today because our pediatrician was on vacation last week. Emerson did so good and really impressed Dr. Price. She did not like her poking on her so instead of crying she did tee tee on her! It was pretty funny! She weighs 10lbs and is 21 and 3/4 inches long and is in the 97th percentile for both. We are so thankful to have another healthy and happy little girl!

A Day In The Life of A Big Sister

Anne Bailey has been such a good big sister since Emerson has been home! She is always very concerned about Emerson and lets us know when she is sleeping, eating, or crying . She has also been such a good sharer since Emerson was born. The first day she met her in the hospital she immediately shared her monkey with Emerson. At home she loves to let Emerson cuddle with her monkey, baby, and ducks. She is also a big help in feeding Emerson bottles, giving her a paci, and making sure she is always covered up. The other day I walked into the den and Anne Bailey had pulled up her chair to Emerson's swing and was reading a book to her. How sweet is that?!?

We spend lots of time together as a family but we also try and make sure to give Anne Bailey some one on one time with each of us. She is so funny right now and is such a little entertainer!  She is completely obsessed with rubber ducks and playing dollhouse. She is still the smartest little thing and we are having so much fun with her. We are so proud of Anne Bailey and what a great big sister she is! We can't wait until these two can play together in the future!!

Emerson is 1 Week Old

I cannot believe that Emerson is 1 week old already! She is doing so good and is the sweetest little baby. She is taking about 3 ounces of formula 8 times a day and is sleeping 3 to 4 hours at a time. She is able to hold her head up for small periods of times, grasp or reach for objects close to her, and focus her eyes very well. Her likes are sleeping, cuddling with mommy or daddy, hanging out with big sister, swinging, and eating. Her dislikes are having her diaper changed and baths. We are just loving every minute with sweet Emerson!!

Here is what Emerson has been up to this week:

Introducing Mary Emerson Thomas-Part 1

Mary Emerson Thomas made her debut on  July 9th, 2012 at 5:56 p.m. She weighed 9 lbs 2 ozs and was 20.5 inches long. She is absolutely beautiful and we are so happy that our family is now complete!!!

We arrived at the hospital at 8:00 on Monday and after getting pushed back due to emergencies I finally had my c section at 5:30. I was so nervous about having major surgery but was more excited to meet Emerson. When we finally heard her sweet cry it was one of the most amazing sounds. She was so sweet and so beautiful!! After spending some time in recovery the three of us were reunited back in my hospital room. Since it was so late Anne Bailey was not able to meet her sister until the next morning. She was so sweet to Emerson and immediately walked over and shared her monkey with her. She also patted her very softly and gave her kisses. It was the sweetest thing I think we have ever seen! Emerson had lots of visitors over the next few days! She is so lucky to have so many wonderful people who love her!

We have had so much fun getting to know our sweet baby girl over the last few days. We are so blessed that she chose us to be her family! We look forward to making lots of great memories with our girls!
