We’re heading off in the next few minutes to go to New York. I think we have everything packed and the minivan is all fueled up.
I’m bringing a good book and hope that I’ll have some time to get some reading in.
Before we leave I’ll leave you with some pictures.
Where has the time gone?
I look at little Emmy and I see a big baby! Last week was the turning point where instead of strangers say “look at that tiny baby” they now say “your baby is so cute”.
Emmy is quite the amazing little girl. She still screams bloody murder and we can’t always figure out what’s wrong with her! One thing that we think could be causing her evening anger is the fact that she’s tired. (Go figure,right?) After she gets out of bath she screams and there’s no consoling her.
What’s funny about little E is that even after you’ve fixed the problem she doesn’t calm down. She gets so worked up that she could be crying about a crappy diaper — you change the crappy diaper and then she still cries.
Then all of a sudden (thirty minutes later) she realizes “oh yeah, I have a clean diaper” and then she stops crying.
Even though she’s Miss Grumpy Pants we still love her so much and she fills our days with sunshine.
Her peak times are in the morning. This morning she woke me up cooing. When I looked over she had a big scrunch face smile going on and it melted me.
Grammy loves to see her smile too and is constantly making faces at her. Grammy is an amazing big sister and hugs and kisses little Emm all the time. In fact, sometimes I have to remind Grammy that Emmy doesn’t like her that close to her face!

And to think that we were worried about her gaining weight?
So my friends from the iVillage IVF and Parenting boards are setting up our next get together in … VEGAS!
To say the least…I’m pretty Vegas’d out. But it might be a nice weekend trip and I’d love to check out the great restaurants this time around!
Las Vegas travel can be done inexpensive (as we’ve proven in the past!). However, with the cost of airline tickets and gas we better start saving now.
We’ve been tossing ideas around for our upcoming family vacation.
In the past we’ve wasted vacation on bedrest trying to get pregnant and traveling around the world to do experimental infertility treatments!
This year we have our dream family and we’re looking at luxury vacations!
The other night Margot mentioned going to Disney but I’m not sure that Grammy is old enough to ride the rides. Plus, I figure that we’d have to take turns with Emmy. Not to mention, when Emmy gets older we will just have to go again!
I’m totally up for a nice trip to St. Thomas or Cancun. Maybe we can recruit the grandparents to provide us with a little non-kid time! *hint*hint*
The ongoing antics of two thirty-something *gasp* mamas raising our three-year-old daughter and adding another baby girl to the mix.
