We're Still Here!

It has been a while since we've posted here on our blog. The past week has been so crazy. Trevor has been busy with work and school. I've been busy being sick! Poor Emma has been putting up with me this past week. All I've done is feed her and sit on the couch. Every time I stood up I felt weak and dizzy. So we've just sat here and looked at each other. When Grandma Nielsen comes Emma gets upset if she doesn't walk around with her and bounce her. She knows Grandma will do it and Mommy won't. Poor girl. Poor Grandma!

I'm starting to feel better though. Thank goodness! Emma has been really good to sleep for about five hours every night so that has really helped. And Grandma has saved me several times this week too, bringing food, folding my laundry, and of course carrying Emma around when she's fussy! I don't ever want to be that sick again! It was awful. I've gone from wanting four or five kids to hoping and praying I make it through one! I admire anyone who has more than two children. Actually, I admire anyone who has children.

No really, we have our good days and they're a lot of fun. Emma has the cutest smile of any baby I've ever seen. (Of course.) And her personality comes out more and more everyday. I was afraid I had made her used to sleeping in bed with me. The past few days I've let her sleep with me because I felt so crappy, I didn't care where she slept as long as she slept! So last night I put her in her car seat like I was doing before and she slept pretty good in it! YEA! But now we need to get her used to sleeping in her bassinet. So far, we haven't made any progress with it. Trevor tries harder than I do though. He will put her in it during the day. I try but she just wakes right up and that doesn't really work for me when I have to get stuff done around the house. But we'll get it eventually.

Well, it's time to feed her again! She tries to eat every two hours.
