Two weeks!

Crazy how time flies. It has already been 15 days and Emma is still doing amazing. She has developed quite a temper when she believes she isn't being fed fast enough but rarely cries. I spent the last week home with her and we had a very lazy week. I am excited for her to be awake more but I am enjoying a very calm and sleepy baby while it lasts. Three more weeks until we move home and I can't wait for everyone to meet her. 

Play time

After birth, Emma was very alert for most of the night. After that night she started sleeping 22-23 hours a day. Mom and I call her a little bird because she pecks for her food since she does not want to open her eyes. Finally, she is beginning to wake up and want to explore her new world. She smiles (no it is not gas) when she is talked to and loves looking at lights. When she is awake she is a happy baby who is very content just looking around or listening to whoever is holding her. When she sleeps she sleeps hard (except at night).

Sleeping

Emma is a really good sleeper, so much so that we were a little worried about her yesterday. Well that all changed at 1:30 am. She decided she wanted to be up and hasn't slept since (it is now 8 am). I am glad I have my mom out here to handle the bad nights so I can function at school the next day. Until she flips her days and nights I foresee a very long and tiring future ahead of me.

Too much football sunday...

She's here!!!

EmmaRae came into this world on 11-7-14 at 5:47 pm. After 8 hours of borderline adequate progress which only resulted at 5 cm, Emma decided that she was tired of waiting and ready to grace us with her presence and less then an hour later she was here. She is doing amazing and might be in the running for the most mellow one day old. The only concern was the fact that her speedy arrival caused her to fill her small belly full of air and fluid. This resulted in multiple episodes of vomiting after eating and finally having her stomach pumped which solved the problem.
26 hours after her birthday party we were discharged from the hospital and are now resting comfortably at home and watching her first Ute game.

Being born is tiring...
