At the 3am feeding this morning, Emma seemed super fussy, so I had Daddy change her diaper mid-feeding. She was grunting and squirming, a sure sign she's getting ready to let loose. Well, she did! Right as Daddy was turning around to drop the dirty wipe into the pail, she let a stream of poop out -- shot out and hit the side of the diaper pail, which is about 4 feet from the bed!! Daddy and I just laughed and laughed and laughed. Emma was not amused. :) Poor kid... I feel for her. There had to be SO much pressure built up for her to squirt that far!
She's definitely a super-pooper. She is slowing down on the number of poops in a day, however, and pooping more at each time. That is reassuring to me, and nice because it'll mean fewer diaper changes. Of course, she's still doing a lot of wet farts, which she *hates*, so we're changing each of those too. Still washing the entire stash of prefolds (24) daily.

Because She's Adorable
I felt the need for MORE pictures! She's 3 weeks, 5 1/2 days old. :)
Emma wearing an outfit that Grandma Miller sent, one of mine when I was a little girl! She was NOT happy about sitting up for the picture, as you can see. LOL!
Here she is, using the miracle blanket that Emily sent -- it was perfect!
Mommy spent time yesterday crocheting for the first time since Emma came into the world, and made this!
Closeup of the cuteness. :)
And her teeny-tiny little hand...
Next to Mommy's HUGE hand!
Holding hands.... so sweet. :)

Pictures Again!
It's been a few days since I posted.... Miss Emma is doing great, and although we're still not in a "routine" as such, she does have some recognizable patterns of behavior. Mommy and Daddy are still adjusting, and doing the best we can!
Some notable things:
*Emma went to visit Mommy's work office this week twice to meet everyone and thank them for the beautiful flowers!
*Mommy and Daddy went out to eat lunch at a real restaurant WITH Emma and she did great! She's still sleeping much of the time, so it was relatively easy. This time. :)
*We're doing better with tummy time! She doesn't seem to mind (pictures below of the "After" Tummy Time) and she loves the blanket Aunt Sandra sent that works perfectly for tummy time.
*Mommy and Daddy got her insurance card today and it really sunk in that she's ours... we get to keep her, and she'll be with us for a long time. It feels very adult-ish!
*Mommy looked at the bills on her insurance website from both the delivery, recovery and the D&C the week later, and about fainted. OMG. Even with insurance, it's going to be a LOT more than I anticipated. Luckily we saved and saved and saved for this, so we're ok. (I won't go into a rant about the healthcare industry at this point and the obscene amount of money they charge for things).
Ok... enough chatting. Onto the cuteness!
Just hanging out with Mommy... thinking *very* hard about something! :)
After tummy time, just playing. This is a knit blanket that Great-Aunt Sandra sent us, it's absolutely gorgeous!
Extreme Close-Up!! :)
Fell asleep on Daddy.... wore herself out, I think!
After our Fourth bath on Monday (the 10th). She's getting better with baths, there was no screaming this time.
Sleeping with Grandma Miller's blanket -- Mommy tried to get the hat on, but she wouldn't cooperate, so we just posed it with her. :) Thank you for the cute hat Grandma!!
And with the blanket, bonnet and matching mittens that knit and sent. They are gorgeous -- how adorable is that little bonnet?!
Daddy and I agreed that we still need to do the fashion show with some of the outfits that Grandma Miller and others have sent, so that's still in the works. But for the moment, hopefully this will do.

Growth Spurt, I Think
Boy... what a rough night. Emma cried from 10 to midnight, and also fed every hour and a half. She was fussy and wouldn't stay at the breast for as long as normal either. She's still fussy this morning. :(
She wants to be with Momma ONLY (so I'm typing with one hand here).... sounds like a growth spurt, right?

Mommy's First Outing
So Mommy got to drive all by her lonesome today! :) LOL. Emma and I went to the new mommy's support group at Riverside, and then we went over and borrowed the scale at the women's center. "Little" Emma is up to 8lb, 2oz -- she was 7lb, 2oz just 8 days ago! Mommy continues to be very proud of her weight gain, especially since she's just a BF baby. :)
The support group was... ok. Mostly older babies (7-9 months) and it appeared that many of the moms had been coming for some time. But we learned a few things and probably will go back periodically. I imagine it'll be more helpful once I have questions, and especially when we're getting ready to think about childcare.
Then we went and visited Mommy's work to show off! Only 2 people were there, but it was still fun and everyone enjoyed holding her. She was such a good baby the entire time.
We changed two diapers and did one feeding while she was out, which was a first for us. Again, she did really well and Mommy did ok too. Strange how something like just getting out of the house becomes such a "BIG" deal for us!
