And more pics



Well that should just about catch you up on her first week and a half!! She is changing so much everyday! Wow! Sorry I've not updated sooner. Not much time really! Everything is going great. Gracie is absolutely crazy about her baby sister. She is a little momma! Emma is growing so much already. She is eating about 3 ozs. every 3 hours. Her first dr. visit was Wed 9/17 and she was in the 90% on weight and 85% on height or length. She is very healthy and has gained back up to more than her birth weight. She weighed 9 lbs. when born then dropped to 8 lbs 5 ozs. by Saturday then back up to 9 lbs. 1 oz. on Wed. I'm sure she is closing in on 10 lbs. now. She goes back to the dr. Oct. 1 for another weight check. Thanks so much for all of your thoughts and prayers!! As for me, I'm doing good also. I did have a c-section, but recovery is going very smooth! I go to the dr. on the 26th. I was doing so well in the hospital they discharged us a day early! I was a little sore for a couple of days but now it's not bad. It is actually hard to take it easy because I feel fine! I have to keep reminding myself to rest, quit picking up the heavy laundry basket, quit jumping up so fast...etc. I am so thankful to be recovering so quickly! Well the little one is calling me for supper... sounds more like "ahh ahh" (she doesn't cry, thank goodness, she just grunts). One more quick note.. her nick name is rooty tooty! The little rascal acts like a little piglet. When she is hungry she grunts and roots..sucking on hands, arms, my shoulder..whatever is the closest to her mouth until the bottle makes it in and the whole time she is eating most times she is tooting! It is the funniest thing!! Gotta go for now.. Love yall!!

You have two beautiful girls! Gracie is going to be so much help. I love the pics of her feeding Emma.

Well I think that little Emma is definitely a Rue and looks a lot like her daddy... which is only fair since Gracie looks just like her momma :) I am glad you are feeling well and so thankful that Gracie is doing so well with the new addition too. Trampas looks like one proud Daddy.. how cute! And man where did you get that super cute John Deer blanket? Man someone must have really loved her to give her that :)

LOVE YOU GUYS!

I absolutely love the nickname. I think it will stick. Rooty Tooty Rue that just has a definite ring to it. I can't wait to see her again soon! I may bring your supper on Sunday instead of Saturday b/c our 10 year reunion is Saturday morning. I will talk to you more about it later. Love you all so much!!
