Doctor's Appt. and Denny's

By Kerry -


Emme went back to the doctor yesterday for her two week check up. She weighed 8.17 at birth, left the hospital at 7.11 and weighed in yesterday at 8.3. She has gained back all of her weight...yipppeeee. She is also measuring 21 inches. I'm thinking that the original measurement of 19 inches was off a bit. Two inches in two weeks seems like a lot!

The doctor (we LOVE him) pronounced her absolutely beautiful and just thriving. Our only concern, and here's a little TMI (too much information, for those that don't know blogger lingo :0) if you don't want to read anymore) is that the little girl just doesn't poop! I never thought I would complain about not changing diapers, but a baby that doesn't go to the bathroom but every three or four days seems to be reason for concern in my book. Andy and the doctor aren't nearly as worried as I am since she isn't bothered one bit by it. She doesn't fuss, cry or seem upset and is gernerally just an easy-breezy baby. I've decided to take the "poop factor" off of my worry plate for now, but I reserve the right to blog about it later.

Today (Thursday), Addison is off to "school" so Andy, Emme and I dropped her off and splurged on a very large breakfast at Denny's before heading home to mow the yard and clean up the new addition upstairs. Yum!!! Between feeding Emme, keeping up with Addison and trying to reorganize the upstairs, I get pretty hungry. I think it's the first time I've ever finished an ENTIRE super grand slam breakfast all by myself. Yep, not just a regular grand slam, but a SUPER grand slam with french toast, coffee and everything. Andy and I decided that we wouldn't tell Addison about it, she would just be mad that she didn't get pancakes :-)

   Well, we finally made it to Arkansas after a very, very, very, very long night. There was on-and-off driving, sleeping (well, it was really a lot of little naps) on the couch, the table seat, my real bed for about two hours, then back to the table seat. But we made it!    On Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, we played with Billy and EJ, built forts, and spent a lot of time on the lake. But today, Billy and EJ were back in school and my sisters and I had nothing to do. So Uncle Gannon took us to Crystal Bridges. We saw some really cool things, went on some trails, and got lost for about half an hour. But it was worth it!     We are leaving on Thursday, so we have one more day to have fun with our cousins and then it's off to the next state and the next adventure. ~ Emme

DISNEY (part 2)

Day Three started out EARLY!  We had 7:30 reservations at Chef Mickey, so we left Nana and Papa to sleep in and we headed out for our next adventure.  Tons. Of. Fun. AGAIN!!  The girls loved dancing around and thought it was super cool that we let them have as much syrup and whipped cream on their pancakes and hot cocoa as they wanted! Here are the girls dancing around after breakfast. Donald was a definite favorite! But Goofy really got Emme's attention.  They were fast friends!! After breakfast, we decided to relax around the pool for a bit before heading to Hollywood Studios.  Addison got up the nerve to go down the super long water slide.  It was really cool to watch her do that!  Emme wasn't quite as brave, but loved spending time in the pool! After the pool, we all headed back to our rooms and the girls took a long nap.  They had been going so fast, they finally needed time to crash!!
