Today is Emma Kate’s due date! It’s hard to imagine that she could have still been inside her mommy today. The last 6 weeks have been priceless. Emma Kate has gone from being not that much bigger than my hand to being over 9 pounds. She now has chubby cheeks and fat rolls on her leg. We’re so thankful that she has been so healthy.

As a sidenote, the pediatrician warned us that as her today approached, Emma Kate would get fussier and more demanding. She was right! Over the last few days Emma Kate is sleeping considerably less and she is crying a lot more. I’m not complaining. I’m so grateful that she’s here and that she’s beautiful and that she’s healthy and that she’s mine! I can smile through her crying recognizing the beauty that her life represents.
