Check up for 30 weeks

Here is our ultrasound pics from todays appointment. Our little girl is growing. The dr said she was measuring about 3 lbs 14 oz today. Just a little above average.  She is a wiggle worm these days. Next appointment is in 2 weeks so hopefully more pics then.

"Pretty Purple Princess Rapunzel Dress" Night

So the title of this Post is "Pretty Purple Princess Rapunzel Dress" Saturday night we were able to go with Rod and Kris to take Emma to her first Disney on Ice experience. HOLY COW did she have fun. We were sure how excited she would get never having been to one of these before. She LOVED it. The night before we went Kris told her what we were doing and then we watched a video preview on the ESA website. Emma watched that video at least a dozen times Friday night. She was so excited. The first thing she asked me when she woke up is "Where are Mugga and Pappa?" She knew they were supposed to be there that day to take us to the Show. Once the time finally arrived for us to leave. We went to Toys R Us to get her a princess dress to wear to the Show, then we went to Cafe Rio for dinner. (YUMMY!) This first picture is once we got to Salt Lake and Parked. She told Pappa that she was in her "Pretty Purple Princess Rapunzel Dress" (funny thing is she didn't even get tongue-tied when saying that either)
 
Don't mind her Goofy smile, she was distracted by all of the other people coming in.

 The whole time The Fairy Godmother was on the ice Emma had her wand held high.
 I wish we had a better picture of these Horse Costumes. They were absolutely STUNNING!

 When the Prince was dancing at the ball with the other Ladies before Cinderella got there, Emma was seriously in a panic because she couldn't find Cinderella.

 Rapunzel and Flynn Rider
 This was the only non fuzzy picture we got of  Flynn and Rapunzel flying on her hair. There was some amazing choreography going on up in the air.

 The Floating Lanterns. They sang "Now That I See You" and the most captivating part was watching Emma sing the words right along with the cast. Brought a tear to Mommy's eye.
 At the end, they brought out More Princesses that were not apart of the stories to crown Rapunzel and Official Disney Princess. There was Belle, Aurora, Mulan, Jasmine, Ariel, and Snow White. Emma was just beside herself with excitement

At the end of the show we had people all around us telling us how much fun they had watching Emma, seeing her so excited about all of it and dancing, and how cute she was. She definitely leaves an impression on people. She is such a Happy-Go-Lucky girl. We sometimes can't get over how amazing and sweet she is and how Lucky we are to have her.
I found this saying on Pinterest that goes:
"My Daughter Is Super Awesome and I'm the Lucky one because I get to be her Mamma" 
Words have never rang more true to me since I had her.

Appointment #5

We got just one picture today. She was moving a lot today during the ultrasound. The Dr says everything looks great. She is measuring about 2.5 lbs. During the 3D part of the ultrasound she had one of her arms sticking straight up in front of her face, luckily the Dr just rotated the image and we werea able to see her face and that is the shot you are seeing in the photo. The next appointment is in 3 weeks, then 2 weeks after that. Today I also had my glucose test (Don't worry mom, I made it through ok) and, luckily, because my blood type is a positive I don't have to worry about needing a rhogram shot. Phew! Time seems to be just ticking away until this little one is here. She is a good kicker. Last night she was kicking the crap out of me! I swear I was being beaten from the inside out, but I was ok with that :) I love being able to see her cute little face at each appointment.

Other than growing a baby there is not much else going on with us. I am just excited for winter to be over! We are hoping to get to work on Emma's room reenovation this coming week/weekend. I will post photos during the process. We are so excited to finally be able to start some type of major project in our house.

Appointment #4

Today we had our Target Ultrasound. It was so cool to watch. She was moving around so much that we got to see it on the screen. We got some awesome shots of her face. The Radiologist said everything was looking great with the baby. She said the baby was measuring about 4 days ahead of schedule (Emma was the same way) The baby measured about 1 lb 6 oz.
~Smiling~

 She looks just like her Big Sister

 This is her arm, shoulder is on the upper right.
 Nice profile view, above her forehead is her hand. She had on hand resting up by her head and the other resting down by her side
 The picture confirming that in fact she is a GIRL

Hardware Ranch

I can't even begin to tell you how long Pappa has been waiting to take Emma to Hardware Ranch to see the Elk. We finally had a good weekend with snow and Elk to see.

 Emma wasn't too sure about standing right next to the horses like that. She kept her eye on them.



 Afterward we wanted to take Emma sledding somewhere, luckily we found a great little hill right by the parking lot. Emma had so much fun! She kept wanting to go down again and again.
