Big girl is growing like a weed

A quick Thanksgiving post/update.  We're still waiting for Emma's little brother to join us--he seems determined not to be early.  But if he's not out by Sunday (the 25th, 1 day past due), we're going in to induce.

You'd think the yummy turkey, cornbread pudding, mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, stuffing, or rolls would have enticed the little bugger, but no luck yet.  We're tempted to try standing in a Black Friday line, just to tempt him into coming out at an inopportune time.

Or maybe standing in line and spilling a cup of water in front of everyone & pretending that it's Noodle's water breaking, just to see if that'll get us moved up to the front of the line.

The big reason for the post, though, is to share some surprising Emma news & post a picture.  Just for fun, we measured Emma today, and found that she's grown more than an inch in the past two months.  Our big girl is up to 38" now, and by our marks & dates on the wall, she has grown about two inches since July.

And without any further ado, a picture of our soon-to-be-big sister, playing in the leaves as we were raking with Aunt Ann on Thanksgiving Day (a balmy 62 degrees at picture time).

Another Growth Spurt?

Probably... she's been nursing like a fiend and is on her 3rd nap of the day (napped for 1 1/2 hours with Daddy and then another 1 1/2 hours with Mommy, and is now napping on my chest ... and it's only 4:30). Maybe we'll get up to 10 1/2 pounds before our pediatrician appointment on Thursday.

Since it's been a few days, here's some pictures of my growing girl!

With Ms. Tracy during Thursday's visit! She enjoyed that visit so much. :) (so did Mommy!)


In her carseat, hanging out after we got back from the hospital when we weighed her on Friday.



Today's outfit!



And the d.iaper that she's wearing right now.... too cute!

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?
