Evan and I decided to expand our family the summer of 2012. Well, to be honest, I was ready long before that. :) The first month we began trying to conceive was the month we found out we were expecting! I was shocked how fast it was, and didn't even think I was pregnant. I took a test more or less to confirm that I wasn't, and to our surprise a second pink line popped up immediately. :) It was so surprising and exciting!
My pregnancy with Emilie was fairly normal, although I did have some scary moments in the beginning. We were afraid that we had lost her, but an early ultrasound revealed that she was just fine. I had pretty severe morning sickness with Emilie, and had to be put on Zofran for relief. But after that subsided, it was pretty uneventful. I felt her move around a lot earlier than with Camryn. I craved grilled cheese sandwiches and apple juice every day, and ate it most days! haha!
I made it to 39 weeks with Emilie when they induced us for our repeat C-section. I can't believe I made it that far, because she was so big. Or rather, I was so big, and miserable. But we made it! I was so glad to know she made it to full term, after Camryn was born premature.
We welcomed Emilie Cate Mouser into our lives on February 27, 2013 at 8:37 a.m. She weighed 9 lbs 1/4 oz. and was 20.5 inches long. She cried and stuck her little lip out the second she came out of my belly! She was perfectly healthy, and we were so thankful.
Emilie has been such a blessing to our lives. While not the easiest baby, she brings so much joy and happiness to our family. I will admit, the first few weeks were a little traumatizing to Mommy and Daddy with the colic and sleepless nights, but she is so worth all of the hard work.
Today, she is a happy, healthy 7-month-old infant who loves her big sister and is always attached to Mommy. She still uses her sad little lip to get her way and most of the time it works. She is trying to crawl and has already discovered our kitchen cabinets! Time for us to babyproof the house again. :)
She is my happy little blue-eyed princess that occasionally has little mood swings. I love her so much!
Emilie is whining and has just walked towards the bedroom in her walker for naptime, so that's my cue. :)
