I figured I would start a blog dedicated to EmmaRae. I have some friends on Facebook who are not baby people. I am respectful of that and I don't want to be one of those moms who post endless pictures of my baby. However, I love taking pictures and sharing them so I will be posting a lot on the blog and only posting the really cute ones on Facebook. I am not intending this blog to be read but more of just a compilation of pictures and stories of this new addition to my life. I am very excited to meet my daughter in November and for everyone to get to know her. I thank everyone for their love and support already and in advance for the continuing love and support Emma and I will receive in the future.
EmmaRae Michele is an important name to me and even though it is a little odd at first and a little long, I love it. Emma Rae was my great great grandmothers name. She was an amazing woman and mother. I inspire to be like her and I remember her by giving my child her name. However, some of you know that I already promised my Grandpa, Richard McKay, that I would name my first girl Michele. He loved the name but he also had an ex-girlfriend whose name was Michele. Understandably, my grandmother did not want to name a child after his ex-girlfriend. When he told me this story I told him I would name my baby Michele for him. Sadly, he will not meet his great grandchild in this lifetime but I am sure they are already great friends across the veil and he prepared her to come to Earth. I dedicate Emma's middle name to my loving Grandfather who I miss very much. To everyone, including me, she will be simply Emma but her full name has so much meaning to me that I couldn't part with any of it.
Ten more weeks to go and I am very excited for her to come. Her official due date is November 9th but few babies in our family are born on time (except my adorable niece, Charlie). Knowing the stubborn streak I will probably pass down, Emma will come on her own time table and I am not going to rush her. I will keep everyone informed in one way or another of the progress and I am excited for everyone to meet her. Thank you again for all the support.
