I'm sorry for not updating again in forever!  Our days seem to be so very full lately...and any free moment I get, I usually try to REST!!  I'm 37 weeks...due date (June 12th) is approaching so quickly!  We are all excited!! Praying that Baby Brother holds off until after orientation (a week-long thing that Brett will be away at for work).  Emma and I are looking forward to spending the week with my mom, Nana.  BTW, as soon as Baby Brother arrives, I'm sure we'll post some pics on the blog and/or send out an email.  I have another appointment tomorrow.  Last week I was 50% effaced and dilated to a 1 (which really means absolutely nothing since I have a close friend that was dilated to a 7 for 3 weeks....but still, it's exciting!!!)

We're planning on having some family pics taken right after O-week (assuming Baby Brother holds off that long), so as soon as we take those I'll post them on the blog.  I actually have several random pictures that I was going to post today, but I just don't feel like doing it, quite honestly.  I'm not sure if it has something to do with Blogger or with our computer, but the last few times that I've posted pics, it will not allow me to rearrange or resize pics...which really frustrates me.  I end up spending several hours trying to play around with it and fix it...and I just didn't have the energy or time for that today.  Hopefully soon!  

One quick Emma story:
Emma is kinda phasing out of naps; however, each afternoon I still make her go to her room for an hour or so....she either naps or entertains herself somehow.  I figure that's good for her to just have a little "alone time."  Well, earlier this week she NEEDED to nap...She was a grump!  To my surprise, she never fell asleep.  In fact, she did really well playing and was a complete different girl when "nap time" was over.  Here's the part that cracked me up....after about an hour, she stuck her head out of her bedroom door and whispered OVER & OVER, "Mommy, my nap time is over.  I'm not grumpy anymore!"  And she wasn't!!  I couldn't help but laugh.  She is such a joy!!  Brings a smile to my face all the time!

Hi Julie-
I found your blog through the Forman Fam...Miss Emma is such a sweetheart! I can tell that she is going to be a GREAT big sister to her baby brother!

One random thing...I sort of thought you might like E names since you have an Emma. I really like Elliot for a boy. I kind of like Ethan...but I think Elliot is really cute.

Feel free to read my blog:
