It's a boy!

We had our ultrasound yesterday. It was very obvious that it is definately a boy! Jerrod is sooo excited. He just can't wait to start playing with army men and big trucks. He could hardly control himself when the ultrasound tech said it was a boy. He almost jumped straight out of his seat. We feel very blessed to be able to have one of each :) Everything looked great on the ultrasound. Baby boy is very healthy and measured perfectly at 19 weeks, 4 days.

The apple orchard

I'm a bit late in posting this. Last week, Emma and Daddy got to go on a fieldtrip with Emma's school to the apple orchard. Each child got to pick 3 apples on their own from the tree. She also got a gourd, an apple sippy cup with apple cider in it, and a coloring book. They got to go on a hayride too. Both Emma and Daddy had a great time.

Emma is really enjoying school. This month is fire safety month at her school. The other day a fire truck came to school. She thought that was way cool. She's now taking a nap at school. She loves this! I think she would be upset if she didn't get to take a nap there now. I was a bit scared that she wouldn't sleep, but she falls right to sleep and sleeps for the whole 2 hours most of the time.

I am so thankful for such a wonderful daycare to take Emma to. I hear so many aweful things on the news about daycare centers. I am super thankful that Emma's is really good and God centered.

It's gone, It's gone!

Sooo happy! The C. Difficile infection is gone! Praise Jesus! The Dr.'s office called this afternoon. No signs of it at all. We're praying it doesn't come back! Yay! No more medicine! Yay!

The pumpkin patch

We went to the pumpkin patch this weekend. Emma really enjoyed going out to the pumpkin patch and being able to pick out her very own pumpkin. She picked one that was just her size. It was a little heavy for her to lift, but she managed it. They had wiener dogs there that Emma loved petting. She especially enjoyed helping push the wagon with the pumpkins in it.






Emma is really starting to communicate very well with sentences. She cracks us up sometimes with things that she says. She's getting to be such a big girl. We went to Petco yesterday, they have small carts for kids to push around. She pushed the cart around the store with my purse in it very well. She went around all of the obstacles and did a great job steering it. So, yesterday was an aha moment for me. My baby girl is growing up! Today she got her hair cut and sat in the salon chair all by herself for the first time. She did a great job being still and loved looking at herself in the mirror while the lady cut her hair. She can do several things by herself and insists on doing it herself. We hear often, "No, myself!" She's also getting very tall. She can now reach her light switch in her rooom. So every morning when she wakes up she turns her light switch on right away so she can see to play. Thank goodness she doesn't wake up in the middle of the night and think it is morning! Her favorite things to play with right now are her babies, her stroller, her bears, her cars, playdough, and she loves to sing songs and dance. She knows the words pretty well and will sing along with any familiar song. It is so cute!
