Two Weeks

She's Here!

Blair Elizabeth (aka LBG) arrived Saturday the 24th at 8:51am. She weighed 8 lbs 15oz at birth and is 21 inches long. We are all home and doing very well.

37 Weeks

So here I am at 37 weeks. I'm still feeling pretty good for the most part. This little girl is starting to hit some nerves in my hips and that is quite uncomfortable especially toward the end of the day. My doctors are very laid back (so far anyway) which suits me just fine. The practice doesn't check for dilation until at least 38 weeks unless there is cause for concern. I'm trying to decide if I even want to know because it doesn't really mean anything. With BBG it was so disappointing to hear that nothing was happening week after week. I'm having a little bit easier time letting go and just waiting for her to be ready this time around. The doctor said he estimates that she will be about the same size as her big sister so no worries there. We still don't have a name picked out from our ever evolving list. The only consistent opinion of the last couple weeks has been Baby Princess Presto.

LBG's Nursery - Part 3

LBG's room is starting to come together. We just have a few minor details left. One of the biggest issues is that our crib was recalled. We new that it was bound to happen because it is an evil drop side style, which I love and need because I'm short. We had already been discussing ways to fix it ourselves, however, we are now just waiting on the free repair kit that the manufacturer has developed. This should arrive just in time for LBG to grace us with her presence.

The only other things we need now are a mobile and a name. I have an idea for the wall above the crib but I need to know what we are going to name this little girl before I can do it.

Emory had a blast making the beautiful work of art that is on the shelf.

She's getting so big!

I can't believe how big Emory is getting! She has really grown these last couple months, and not just physically. Everyone keeps saying that she'll seem really big once LBG gets here, I can't imagine that.
She loves to play catch, and she has quite the arm. She won't play with me, apparently only Daddies, Grandaddies and Papaws are allowed.

Emory has been asking for roller skates since before Christmas. In trying to put off her first emergency room visit, I told her that she couldn't have them until she quit wearing diapers. Well, last week she quit wearing diapers.

She is doing very well with the skates, we haven't ventured outside to the concrete yet, but she has mastered the carpet and tile. She's got pretty good "bawence".

Lastly, my reminder that she is still two. Here's BBG's new swim class, yes she's the teeny tiny one in the middle. She had to get special permission to even take lessons because she isn't three yet. She placed into the level 2 "Floaters" class for children up to age nine. Today went very well, she did have to sit on the edge a couple times because she got tired and couldn't touch the bottom like the other kids. She was more than willing to do everything Miss Sabrina asked.

Playtime

Just a quick picture from this morning. We went to the indoor playground at the mall with Emory's friends Rohnnie and Gracie this morning. They had a blast climbing all over everything. It is a great place to go burn some energy when it is too hot to play outside.
