She didn't really understand what she was picking and picking up, so Mommy made sure that she picked one that she could handle. She was proud when she got it. http://baby.robbyedwards.com/2008/10/see-my-pumpkin Today was our 38 week checkup for the baby. Everything still looks good. The doctor's estimation of the weight of the baby today is 6 lbs. It appears that she is on the same track as Emily in size. Because I will not be able to see my doctor next ... http://baby.robbyedwards.com/2008/10/38-week-checkup Mommy doesn't always have a camera handy when Emily is playing with her Granddaddy. She misses a lot of really cute photo opportunities. Just this week I missed two cute playtimes that I wish I had photographed. One was while Emily was watching Dancing with the Stars with her grandparents. She ... http://baby.robbyedwards.com/2008/10/playing-with-granddaddy-2 (20 months) One of the other moms at church put together a field trip for the toddlers at church to explore a pumpkin patch. It turned out that 5 little girls went. Emily had a blast playing out in the beautiful day with the other little girls. Our first stop ... http://baby.robbyedwards.com/2008/10/pumpkin-patch We were blessed with an ultrasound at 37 weeks with our newest baby.

She wouldn't turn and show ... http://baby.robbyedwards.com/2008/10/37-week-ultrasound I'm on the weekly schedule of visits to the doctor to check on me and the baby's situation.

This morning, we had cartoons on and Mommy laid down on the couch to get some extra rest. Emily took note of what I had done and stole my pillows. With each pillow, she piled them on the ... http://baby.robbyedwards.com/2008/09/under-the-weather-and-blanket Emily's hair is now long enough to fit into a ponytail. With her curls it doesn't look to be as long as it really is. She is pretty good to leave her hair up in a ponytail when put up, but that doesn't stop loose hairs from falling. I'm afraid ... http://baby.robbyedwards.com/2008/09/ponytail-girl (20 months) Emily likes to act out the things that Mommy does. In this case she is laying on the couch like Mommy does with her pillows and blanket. In this case, she is also watching TV. We play "nap" and then "wake-up". http://baby.robbyedwards.com/2008/09/nap-like-mommy Emily loves her Daddy! She will roam the house while he is at work and if she wants him she just starts yelling out "DA". I'll tell her that he is at work and will be home later. This week when she did this I called him on the phone ... http://baby.robbyedwards.com/2008/09/daddy-and-his-big-girl (33 weeks) With this weeks checkup Mommy got the word that the baby has dropped and has her head in the birth canal and set for delivery.
