The holidays are here and we are so thankful for the best gift God could ever bless us with...our beautiful baby girl! Emma is now almost six weeks old and is growing so quickly. At her four week pediatrician appointment she weighed 8 pounds, 2 ounces and measured 20 3/4 inches long. We have started doing 'tummy time' each day with Emma and she is getting stronger each day. She can lift her head and turn it left and right now. It has also been fun watching her start to discover her hands and trying to suck her thumb.
Emma is now eating formula, as her mommy suffered a terrible case of mastitis this month and had to give up breast feeding. Fortunately I am in the process of healing after having a large abscess removed last week. Never did we imagine that breast feeding would be this challenging!
We spent the Thanksgiving holiday here at our house with Patti and Larry. We all enjoyed spending the long weekend with them and Emma loved getting to be held a lot by her Grammy and Papa. :) Next weekend Uncle Matt and Aunt Robyn will be coming out to visit and meet Emma!
We will be posting more pictures from this month soon, so check back for updates. :)

Amy, I love running into people online that I haven't seen in ages! Congratulations on your sweet little bundle :-) So sorry you struggled with breast feeding, I can really relate, I had mastitis and many issues myself. All the best to you and your hubby during these first few months!
