Emma's 1st Dance Recital

I am really trying to get caught up, and now that I can stay up past 9:00 I can get some pictures uploaded. Scroll down to see my 11 week update!

A week or so ago Emma had her first dance recital. I am extremely thankful to her teacher for working with Emma and pulling her out of her shell. When Emma first started dance class, her teacher, Meghan, literally had to pull her out of my hands to take her to class. Once she got there she was ok but she was not used to leaving me. Emma and I have been together from day 1 and she really didn't understand why I was leaving. After a few weeks she started walking in by herself and really started to excel. Meghan always said she did a great job and worked really hard. I am so proud of Emma. She did wonderful during her recital. She remembered all of her steps and kept up with her team even though she was the youngest one in there. She asks me every day to go to dance class and I have to remind her that it is over for the summer. She really misses it. Hopefully the summer will pass by quickly for her and we can get her back into dance class this fall. Here are a few pics from her big day. 

 Autumn took all of the professional pictures of the dancers. Of course, my little Emma never wants to smile but she is still cute as a button. 

11 Weeks!

How far along? 11 weeks

Size of Baby: According to Babycenter, the baby is the size of a fig.
 The baby is just over an inch and a half long and is almost fully formed. 

Maternity Clothes: Not yet but my shorts are getting a little tight. 

Gender: We will find out the beginning of July. Can't wait!

Labor Signs: Better not be till November or December!

Movement: Not yet. 

Sleeping: Ok so far. I am convinced I need about 15 pillows to get comfortable but my husband isn't going for that. 

What I miss: Nothing!

What I am looking forward to: My ultrasound next week.

Cravings/Aversions: Not right now. I think I'm sorta of over my chicken aversion. I just can't stand plain chicken. Make sense?

Symptoms: Sickness, Heartburn, Fatigue

Best Moment this Week: Celebrating Mother's Day knowing that I am the mother of 3 beautiful babies this year. I can't believe we are going to have 3!! God is blessing us with so much. 

Random Pics

Just a few random phone pictures.

Ryleigh watching Rio.

My girls have really fine long hair. I love that about them. Emma's hair was getting really really long but since its so thin and fine, it was starting to look a little stringy so I decided that I was just going to trim it a little bit before her dance recital. Well, I think the trimmed somehow turned into about 2 inches but it is really cute and it will grow back in no time.

One day last week when Josh was out of town I took the girls to Panera to eat dinner. This was Ryleigh's first time out of a high chair or booster seat. Most of the time she is too short to see over the table but the table was at a perfect height for her. She sat in her chair and did a great job. She is such a big girl.

A couple of days before Emma's recital I took her to get her fingernails and toes painted. She is a prissy little girl and she really enjoyed this. It was such a special treat for her.
