Miss Emily Rose

Emily is six weeks old now and alert and up for part of the day. Contrary to my earlier beliefs I don't think she looks at all like her sister (well maybe a tiny bit). She is a crazy monkey who looks surprised a lot of the time. She loves to track where her sister is in the room and really is active physically when she hears her sister.

Pumpkin patch

Sadly this year we had to get our pumpkins from the store. We went to Green Bluff to get pumpkins but due to the weather this year all of them were an orange green. But....we had fun anyways. Samantha got to feed the goats, play in the pea box (dried peas in a giant sand box) eat kettle corn and still wander through the pumpkin patches. The picture of a pumpkin is Emily's hat and all that anyone really got to see of her at the pumpkin patch!

I love my sister

Need I say more.

They get so big so fast

Here is the beautiful big sister. I can not believe how

fast they grow. It makes me a bit sad. But I have two beautiful girls and I now get to sit back and enjoy watching them grow up!

"it looks like a dead animal!"

In the fog that is my life and mental state I set Emily in the stroller the other day while we were playing outside and somehow didn't get her legs in! Spent time playing with Samantha and turned around and all I saw were these two pink legs and a hand (picture number two!) I can not believe that I did that...oh wait yes I can! Emily is wearing this cute bear outfit that keeps her nice and warm but J says that it looks like I have a dead animal in my arms. Ya a pink one!

uh oh two girls

I think I have

two daddy's girl's on my hands! Yes since I can not carry Samantha right now (healing thing) and Emily was all ready in J's arm's this is how it goes up the stairs! Is this a prediction for the future? God I hope so!

Wasup!

need I say more?

Looks a lot better

Yes I am being concited but really. I look a heck of a lot better after having this one than I did last time! I will say it's because I had such a restful stay at the hospital!

Heather with a baby

Holy shit. It's Heather with a baby. My sweet Heather came to visit me almost every night I was in the hospital. And for anyone who knows Heather.....babies were not her really her stuff until Samantha and Emily came into her life. I had to post these pictures for two reasons...one they are precious and two....somehow in Heather's white sweater and all...she managed to not get pooped on although Emily all naked pooped while in Heather's arms. Yes I know TMI...but really! How did she pull that off? I am still trying to avoid all that stuff and I have been a mom for three years now!

another day at the hospital

I have to post these pictures because they only begin to describe the tender way in which Samantha cares for her sister. granted she can not keep her hands off of her sister and that can be a bit much but....I am so happy that she actually likes (or at least acts like it) her sister!

Welcome Emily Rose

Welcome Emily Rose. Samantha's little sister was born at 3:43 a.m. on Monday September 15th. She was 21 inches long and weighed eight pounds four oz. Princess Samantha came and met her as soon as Samantha ate breakfast and could get Gramps to drive her down to the hospital. It was love at first sight and still is!

Flash Back a month ago!

Baby shower! Heather threw Samantha and I a lovely baby shower for the future baby Dunne about a week before Emily showed up. We got Samantha her very own special baby and a layette for her baby to help take care of any possible jealousy that she might have. Of course she doesn't seem jealous at all and sometimes her frog is her baby not this very expensive doll that I bought her! So is the way of toddlers though. The shower was lovely and we really lucked out and had one final beautiful day of weather for it. Thank you Heather! And thank you to everyone who has been praying for us and our family and showering us with love.

New arrival

Yes I said it. We have a new member in our household. Miss Emily Rose Dunne. Hence why this blog is not updated. Pictures will be posted as soon as my head is screwed on correctly. Samantha is an incredible big sister and there has been no (knock on wood) acting out! Samantha has been a big help and is just an all out wonderful little girl. Emily is doing well and adjusting to life outside the womb. Unfortunately she caught a cold from her sister one day shy of two weeks old (another reason why haven't gotten the blog updated) But she is doing well! Daddy and Mommy? Well we are readjusting to this whole routine. Must say thank God for church and fellowship because last night was the first time I had to cook since I have been home (I have been home two weeks) members of our congregation and friends of ours have been bringing us dinner every night. Thanks to all! What I must say though is that anyone who is expecting a second child.....they don't both always take naps at the same time and let me tell you...sleep deprivation is harder on the brain the second time around! More later!
