She's here

Sweet Emerson MacKenzie arrived

Monday December 20th 2010

at 3:42 am

weighing 8lbs

20 3/4 in length.

Even though she is currently 4 days old she has been

such an amazing addition to our family.

Her big sister Presley loves her and loves to help

Mommy, handing her additional baby wipes and diapers.

And giving me the funniest looks if any milk was left in the bottle.

It is deja vu with Emerson feeding every couple hours through out the night

with bigger stretches in between day time feedings.

One thing is for sure!

I love this life,

our growing family

and I wouldn't change it for anything.

Sleep will come soon enough,

they grow up way too fast.

We,

our family of 4 + our dog :)

would like to wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas.

We hope you make lasting memories with your family and friends

and have a safe holiday season

Bucket List

People always ask if I have cravings during my pregnancy.

I really don't I answer.

But, maybe I do.

I crave things I can't have or won't while pregnant.

So this time I created a list that is in Josh's car for me to add to.

I refer to it as my post pregnancy bucket list.

Silly, I know.

With Presley and Emerson I did not eat lunch meat, hot dogs, soft cheeses

and most sodas.Anyone that knows me knows my favorite food is a good sandwich.

So, here's my list:

1. Turkey sub from Subway

2. Wasabi Roast beef from Tropical Smoothie (I've never had it but hear its delicious)

3. Cuban from deli in S Tampa

4. Any Sub from Larry's Giant

5. Blue cheese on anything.

6. Turkey sub from Jimmy John's

7. Oscar Mayer Turkey Dogs-one with ketchup and one with mustard

8. Corn dogs-especially the fried ones from carnivals

9. Mt Dew-I'm not a coffee drinker so occasionally at work I treat my self to a Mt Dew. This one has been hard to not think about often, a few of the nurses and several Residents live off it. I love the smell of Mt Dew and the taste. My friend Haley bought me a mini Mt Dew chap stick after I oddly whiffed her soda one day. It smells good but is a big ole tease in the taste factory.

10. A nice glass of wine with dinner.

So this is my list that I plan to conquer once little Miss Emerson arrives.
