Happy Two Months!

updates:

little emery is 2 months old and i cannot believe it. she had her check-up on Wednesday and she is healthy as can be! 23 inches long (75th percentile for her height!) and weighs 10lb 7oz (50th percentile for weight!) those three shots she had done, though....BROKE my little heart. ugh. she's sleeping like a champ! no less than 8 hours a night. thank you, jesus. and she's smiling all the time. cooing away as she tries real hard to talk to me. i'm just waiting for the belly laugh. she's so close, i can feel it. i am still so taken by this little baby girl.

we're going home for christmas in exactly one month and i am absolutely beside myself. i haven't seen snow at christmas in years. so ready for that. and emery will have her first experience with the cliche santa at the mall. yay :)

i've already begun listening to christmas music...and thanksgiving is still a week away. i don't care. i love it.

i've been able to [finally] get back into the gym and its been wonderful. still a ways to go, but its good to get my heart pumping again.

family photos are on tuesday and i've yet to pick out outfits. this could be a little stressful come monday night. but we'll have photos for christmas cards, and there's really nothing better :)

our lovely friends are in town from Japan this week! today we're spending time with them over lunch. thankful for these friends that are so dear.

happy weekend, everyone!

while emery took a nap one afternoon, i was able to get back into my sewing class. this project? bunting! i stole the phrase from another friend in the class...thank you britney!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN.

i've never really liked the color pink. i always told myself that if i ever had a little girl, i would dress her in yellows and purples and greens. a little pink here and there, but never too much. once we found out we were having a girl, looking for nursery bedding was so difficult. we landed on pink and green bedding and i felt ok with it - still adding as much green to the room as i could.

today? my life has been taken over by the color pink. we have pink blankets, pink onesies, pink paci's, pink burp cloths, pink socks, pink hats, pink headbands and bows...there is a splash of pink in every room of our house.

this morning i pulled some laundry out of the dryer and...pink lint. i balled it up in my hand and laughed a little. pink is now my absolute favorite color.

our little girl. one month old.

updates:

-emery is officially sleeping in her crib every night. i still sleep in the guest room next to her. maybe one day i'll be brave enough to go back to my own room :)

-i am SO in love with the weather we've had this past week. totally puts me in the mood to decorate for the fall season. i can't believe its almost november!

-i'm going home in 2 weeks. can't wait to see the fam fam..and have everyone meet this little girl whom i love so very much.

-parenthood is settling well with matt and i. we laugh SO much and really enjoy all of the new things that come with having a child. i am so thankful for this little family i have been given.

-i really miss sewing. lots of ideas i've got stirring around in my head. hoping to make some time for that, soon!
