Happy 1-month birthday, Miss Emma!

Our little pumpkin celebrates a whole month in the world today, and she still hasn't made it to her due date!  She has, however, made it to 6 pounds, 13 ounces.  Way to go Emma!  And way to go Nikki (AKA Milk Machine!)Nikki told me today that even Emma's toes are starting to look pudgy.

Nikki is my hero.  She had a baby 6 weeks early-- her FIRST baby at that-- and had a natural delivery despite the odds.  Emma didn't have the developmental ability to nurse yet, so Nikki pumped every three hours, round the clock, for weeks, so that Emma could benefit from having Mama's milk.  That was so hard, and so courageous!  And now, Nikki can hardly keep up with Emma as she is growing and growing!  I am so proud of BOTH of these girls! And way to go, Tim, for choosing well!
