Peaches & Em

I need to get Peaches a button that says "I dressed myself today". Oh, and she was telling me to "Talk to the hand"; apparently I said something to her she didn't like.
Peaches and Em sleeping in on Sunday morning.

My Little Chunkster

Em is now4 weeks old. She is now weighing in at 9 pounds 1.2 ounces. She rolled over onto her side this morning then onto her stomach. She then pulled her arm out from underneath herself so she could lay flat on the floor. She is feeling much better thanks to antibiotics and is sleeping about 5 - 5 1/2 hours at a time. Her hair is turning blond now and if she is anything like Peaches, it will be all white in a couple of months.
The kid is going to grow up with kiss imprints on her cheeks and forehead. Peaches kisses her about 100 times a day. It is very sweet.

What a big yawn!

Lazy Sunday

This is what the Roberts Family did on Sunday. Our bellies were full of chicken enchiladas and motorcycle racing was on TV (like that isn't reason enough to put you to sleep).


Post Delivery Update:
On Friday I went to see the midwife because I was having difficulties healing from the delivery. Well, the midwife noticed that the stitches I had 3 weeks ago were NOT working so they had to take an alternate approach. I was told that I had two options....I could either be restitched (and since that obviously didn't work the first time I better not chose that option) or to cauterize the areas (that at this time were raw). I won't be too graphic so let's just say that silver nitrate was involved, lots of pain, two midwifes and a nurse walking me through the procedure, one midwife holding my hand, me crying like a baby, more crying and oh yeah.....more crying. About 30 minutes later I was on my way home (still crying) with 2 prescriptions for drugs. I had NO idea that my "simple" checkup would turn into such a painful ordeal! I drove myself home and spent the rest of the day and night in agony. I was proud of myself for not getting the pain meds filled and for toughing it out. Sleep helped a lot so Saturday wasn't sooo terrible. I feel better today but still not myself. Let's just hope that on my next appt in June I will be healed and won't have to go through that procedure again.

Memmomie & Papa Visit

My parents drove down from VA for the weekend to see Em.

I just liked this one!

My friend Kevin also came to visit us and bring goodies. I love goodies!
We made cupcakes on Saturday and Papa ate the MOSTEST (as Peaches would say)! He even ate a can of vanilla frosting.
Em is exhausted at the end of the day!
Thanks mom and dad for a great weekend and for taking us out to dinner. I had a great Mother's Day and am grateful that you were able to spend it with me.
