How is it possible

That when you are waiting for your little one to get here... the days drag on and time stands still...then when they do arrive... the days just seem to fly by?! Emmalyn is almost five days old already. It doesnt seem possible. Wasn't I just getting ready to have her yesterday?!

She's doing wonderful.. she never cries unless she's hungry or needs a diaper change. She's so laid back and will lay in her swing contently & sleep in her bed. Amazing! I'm finding myself doing exactly what I said I wouldn't... holding her while she's sleeping or letting her lay with me. I can't help it! lol. She's just so tiny (yet growing so fast) and with her being my last.. I just want to cherish every second of her being this tiny little angel. She's starting to stay awake for much longer periods of time and just gaze around at everyone. It cracks Ariel & Clarity up when she's looking at them and sticks out her tongue or makes a face. They love it. I have two amazing helpers... that are always jumping at the chance to get me diapers or wipes or to let me know if she starts to fuss a bit if I'm in another room.

Things have been hectic in this house with all these bugs going around. Jesse's so sick he had to call in to work this morning. I know he was really debating it but he was just so run down and running a fever.. I told him to just do it. That if he didnt rest he'd probably end up missing more than a day and going to the hospital. He hasn't gotten off the couch except to eat a bit of breakfast and other than that he's been asleep. I know it drives him crazy.. he's such a busy person.. so you know when he's like this, he's REALLY sick. I felt horrible last night with a cough & tickle in my throat that kept choking me. On the good side: Ariel & Clarity are doing MUCH better now so it must be a come and go virus. I sure hope so. I get to fight walmart today to do some grocery shopping. It really needs to be done. Jesse & I have put it off as long as we could. I'll leave him & the girls in the truck (I would leave them home but Jesse said he'd rather go that way if Emma starts fussing he can call me and I can go sit in the truck and he'll finish the shopping). So eventually today we'll get around to doing that escapade. Not looking forward to it! We're under a winter storm warning right now.. I guess sometime tonight it's supposed to start snowing and we're going to get between 2-4 inches (supposedly). All winter I've looked foward to snow... now I'm so over it and I actually wouldnt mind not getting anything. I'm ready for warm weather and for everyone to feel better!
