Thank You

Thank you everyone for all of your thoughts, prayers and good wishes. Little Emma Rose came out crying at 4:18 AM today. She has proven what we already knew. She is a fighter. Little girl weighs a little over 4 pounds and SHE IS STILL WITH US!!! She is alert and PINK with Stable vital signs. She can even suck a little from her bottle but were helping her out with a medicine dropper. She is so beautiful! Unfortunately her diagnosis has not changed but clearly little girl and God are still working on her plan. Mommy and Daddy are also doing well and are grateful for all of your thoughts and prayers. Please keep them coming!!! We love you so much Emma Rose and are so thankful for this special time with you.

For Emma Rose

Dear Emma Rose, I write this on what very well may be your Birthday. Today everything changes. We have all waited so long for your arrival. Now that it is finally here there are so many emotions swirling about. We are all so proud of you sweet girl. How can someone do as much as you have in such a short while? You have hung in there like a champion. You have overcome many challenges as you grew inside your Mommy's tummy. You have shown us that you are a fighter. You have filled all of our hearts with so much love. We feel your presence. You are our niece, daughter, grand-daughter, great grand-daughter, cousin, sister, friend, and someday our guardian angel. Most of all Emma Rose, you are a part of all of us and you will always be surrounded by our love. We don't yet know God's plan for you but we do know that what ever it is little girl you will do it well. Safe passage little one. Good things are waiting for you both here and in heaven......Love always, Aunt Jenny and cousin Abby

My sister in law will be induced tonight. Little Emma has made it to 38 weeks. Thoughts, Prayers, and good wishes are much appreciated.

Gymnastics

There are so many new free templates out right now that I thought it was time for a new spring look. The sites even come with instructions and are easy to work with.

Abby had her last gymnastics class last Saturday so they let the parents take pictures. She has really enjoyed it so I think will be taking more classes in the future :) Enjoy the pictures!

Tumble fun.

Time for the balance beam.

Obstacle course time. They play fun music while they do it too.

Can you tell how much she likes this class?

In her jumping element.

Thought the trampoline would be her favorite.

Actually the rings are her favorite!

Her upper arm strength amazes me at such a young age.

Just hanging around. (Mommy clipped my head again)

Parachute time. She likes that too :)

Shake it baby :)

Have to see that it's hard to take pictures of your kid while holding a parachute and walking in a circle :)

Abby in the middle!

Good times :)

Who said this was my last class??

Pretty girl!

Diva shot :)

Cupcake Mania

Abby calls anything with icing birthday cake. She spotted a 2 pack of cupcakes while we were at the grocery store the other day and insisted I get them. Here she is enjoying her cupcake after dinner. First a sniff and then a nibble :)


Cupcake Bliss :)

Deciding where her next bite will be from :)

Making sure Mama doesn't sneak a bite :)

Just joshing you Mama. You can have a bite if you want :)

EMMM EMMM Good :)

Juice break :)

Let the sugar rush begin :)

HMMM.. Maybe I shouldn't of taken that last bite?

NAAA! Who am I kidden :)

Still working on my cupcake :)

Feeling that sugar rush :)

Giddy with joy :)

Thanks!

Thank you all so much for your prayers and good wishes for Emma Rose. We don't know what will happen but we do know that there are many folks out there sending prayers and good wishes. That is a good thing and so very appreciated. Please keep em coming. Her Birthday is soon approaching.

Abby and I are doing well. The days continue to fly by. Here are some shots of a few of them :)

Were still working on the potty training. So far 3 times she has actually peed in her potty. The motivation comes and goes but I know she will get there.

I found her this way :)

Bath time princess!

Still loves her puppy. Found out just recently that she has been feeding him. I happened to catch her putting something in his mouth. I opened it up and there were a couple interesting dried up tidbits in there :) I told her just imaginary food from now on.

My sleeping angel :)

Happy Saint Patricks Day!

Finally! Abby's Meme in Florida made this for her. She got friendly with a gentleman that she met at a jewelry store. This gentleman actually move to the states from China and started a new life here. With his help Meme had him transcribe all of the characters in Abby's name, including her birthday. Meme then embroidered them onto the wall hanging.

This last one is of the back. Abby can pull that piece off when she is older and copy the characters.

Here is the gentleman that helped Meme.

I think she likes it :)

Thank you Meme for this very thoughtful and precious gift. WE LOVE YOU!!
