We went to the pediatrician this morning (12/18) and she's growing perfectly! She's already grown a half inch! That makes her 21 inches long and puts her in the 97th percentile for her length. She's gained back almost all of her birth weight and is right at 7 lbs; the 25th percentile for her weight. That means she's offically a string bean!
We live life in three hour blocks. Feed for an hour, clean up, stare at the wall for 30 minutes untill you wake up and realize you've been staring at the wall for 30 minutes, and then have have 30 minutes to do something productive. I never understood why they give new mommies a sheet of questions to ask themselves. One of them is "Have I eaten today?". I always thought I'd remember to eat, but now I seem to look up and it's 2:30 in the afternoon!
Emmy has decided that she's a party animal and wants to sleep all day and stay up all night. Her and GiGi have been having lots of tea parties at 1 a.m. GiGi went home last night and let Blake and I have a go at it alone for one night. After about five hours of straight screaming, we asked GiGi to come right back. Thank goodness for GiGi!
Emmy is already starting to try to hold her head up and is getting to where she can keep it up for a few seconds. We're playing on our mat and kick-kick-kicking (at 3 -5 a.m. when we're awake and she's not screaming)!

This weekend we'll get ready for Christmas and for taking our newborn pictures on Monday!
I'm WAY behind on calling people back, so I PROMISE that if you've called I'll give you a call soon!
