Emme is 11 Days Old

Here are a few pics from the past week and a half from us being home. We are settling in, and figuring out what works and what doesn't. We figured out last night that Emme sleeps much better in her swing, so now her swing is in our bedroom. Makes the night much easier! I am so glad we got a swing that plugs in to the wall.

On our way to the first pediatrician visit - 3 days old

Patiently waiting for Dr. Melici

Aunt Regan and cousin Logan LOVE Emme!

Cousing Max thinks Emme is "AWESOME"! He would not use her restroom because it looked like it was for girls only.

See those feet? These were what was digging into my rib cage the last trimester. They are much cuter out of the womb. Don't ya wanna kiss those toes?!

Miracle swing.

Some more pics of Emme's Birthday

Here are a few pictures from THE BEST day of our lives.

Emme found out that Aunt Sharon was in town for the weekend and she just couldn't wait to meet her!


Emme loves her Great Grandmother.

On her way home! Grammy and Aunt Elley searched high and low for a preemie outfit for little Emmeline. They even found a preemie bow!

4 more weeks to go...woops, she's here!

Emmeline Hart Benton made her surprise debut on Sunday, October 18, 2009 at 3:49 P.M. She weighed in at 5 lbs. 5 oz. and 18" long. It all begin on Saturday evening as I was on her bathroom counter hot gluing butterflies to her mirror (Extreme nesting phase). My water broke and needless to say, I was freaking out. John was in the living room with Jay playing Call of Duty 4, what else is new? I had just finished packing the overnight bags moments before, so we were ready to go and out the door we went! We are overwhelmed with all of the love we fill for this precious little person. She is absolutely amazing. These are pictures I stole from Aunt Elley's blog, but I promoise to upload some of my own soon. I am also overwhelmed with all of the new things to do in my life (reminding myself to sleep) that it is hard to find the time. Love to you all!
