Introducing Emerson Gray! Finally :-)

Finally after four months I am finally posting the last of my weekly pregnancy posts, week 40. Clearly I am not a good multi-tasker since having the tiny one. Getting online to write has been the last thing I have wanted to do. If I am online I am looking up baby stuff and I love it!! On the other hand I love blogging too and need to find a nice balance, especially since I am already behind in posting our daughters beautiful photos!! I would like to introduce you to our much anticipated baby girl Emerson Gray Duckworth, our angel born on August 8th and weighing 8 pounds and 0.5 ounces.

We were so ready for week 40 because we were ready to meet Emerson. It was in this week that I started to show signs of swelling, not much but my ankles did retain some fluid. I worked up to two days before she was due. Her due date was August 4th, our next appointment was on the 6th, we went in on the 7th to be induced and she was born on the 8th. It was an amazing day, surreal even. I will share details of the day at at later time. To read prior pregnancy posts click here.  If not, enjoy some pics of the big day.

 

So there you have it...the beginning. Next I will bring you up to speed on the 5 months of Emerson, some pics and milestones and then hey, caught up! Will all of my posts from this point forward be about Emerson? Maybe. Will I get behind again and not update you until she is 10 months? Maybe, I've been known to procrastinate on this blog since her birth. Have these past 5 months been absolutely amazing? Absolutely!!!!!! We love love love our new normal.

Stay tuned! But don't hold your breath... unless you have a suicide mission....
