My Mom Rocks

Ok, so many of you know that I was on bed rest for about six weeks of my prenancy. Then, I had to have surgery three weeks after Emily was born. I could not have made it through the last several months without my mother's help. She is amazing. She spent every week of my bed rest here in Austin to help me with Caroline. Then she was here after Emily was born and during my surgery. I am so blessed to have such an awesome mom who is so willing to help. I love this picture of Grandma with her girls.

Emily at One Week

We have chosen a lamb to use as our measuring tool for Emily. This is her very first photo shoot with "Sam the Lamb," a name that Caroline came up with all on her own. I don't know where she gets these things.

Bringing Emily Home

Emily had a wonderful home coming. My mom and sister were there to welcome her with flowers, balloons, and a yummy cake for mom and dad. I am so grateful to them for all of the hard work they did for us over the last few months.

Emily looks so small in the car seat.

Her first bath at home was not a joyous occasion.

A warm towel makes all the difference.

Getting back in the swing of things

Well as if having a baby in the last month wasn't enough, I had surgery yesterday to remove my gall bladder. I am hoping to get some posts up soon. We really have taken more pictures of Emily since she has been born. Please pray for a speedy recovery. I am really ready to be done with hospitals for a while.
