I had to work on Thursday, but my mom was able to be at home to meet the carpet cleaners and mosquito guy so that my house was ready for the birthday party (and the market…). Work days always fly by, but I tried to stop and think about my labor and visited Emerson in the nursery 
It’s been a while since I wrote a day in the life post and life is different now! My 4 month post was from a stay-at-home day, so I thought I’d write this post based on a work day. 5:30 – Matt is leaving for the airport. I’m not sure if it was a coincidence or a noise he made, but I hear Emerson wake up. Even though she’s not eating much breast milk these days, she still wakes up…
It’s time for another update, aw this girl and been out in the world as long as she was growing in the womb! The most exciting thing is that Emerson started crawling just before her 9 month birthday! She’s moving all over the house and putting everything in her mouth.

While this is definitely something to celebrate, she did this back at 3 months, so it only feels…
Hello! We’re back from our spring break trip to MD and FL. Despite a few low points, we had a great time. Airplane travel went great with Emerson, but all three of us got a cold during the first half of the trip. Needless to say, sleep was difficult. We had a blast visiting Matt’s parents though, and enjoyed being able to relax at their house and catch up. My family even drove up for one night, so we had…
