Emery Lynn Morse

How ironic, Emery arrived the day after my last post! May 30th, 2010 (her Daddy's birthday!), 5 pounds 15 ounces, 18 1/2 inches, blue eyes with a head of dark brown hair.

She is now 15 days old and growing fast--she gained one pound within ten days! We are breastfeeding exclusively so it must be working. Her umbilical cord fell off last week, and tonight I gave her her first actual bath. She didn't like it so much, but fell asleep peacefully afterwards.

Last night Emery either had really bad gas or was going through a growth spurt (I'm thinking both). She started crying inconsolably around 9pm and didn't stop until about 2am. Nothing seemed to help, but she ate almost every half hour during that time. I feel like she ate a bit more today than normal, too, although I wasn't counting. Hopefully she'll be okay tonight and the three of us will be able to sleep.

Every day we get a little fresh air when we go up to get the mail--and Mommy gets her exercise (trust me, it's exercise; you haven't seen my driveway).

This past weekend we visited family so they could meet our little girl, and needless to say everyone fell in love with her instantly. She got to show off her cutest onesies and didn't lack any company the whole weekend.

This coming weekend will be her first beach trip. We are going to Long Beach Island Friday through Sunday with the Remix worship team--we're all very excited!
