7 months ago from right now I was receiving petocin in an attempt to keep the contractions constant. I was nieve in thinking that too much petocin may mean that she would be born before midnight, thereby just missing the cool birthday of 10/10/10--yep I was a nieve first mom..especially since she wasn't born for another 7 hours(!!!) at 5:01am. That is ok- I wouldn't have it any other way.
My first Mother's day was a great one. We woke up and hung around the house and then headed for Hutchinson to spend time with our moms. Corey gave me a heart necklace with Emma's birthstone in the middle and a really sweet card, what can I say--I enjoy cards that come from the heart!
Emma is at the age where she is SO fun! We love to just watch her, play with her, and get her giggling or just making any noise. Her eating patters are odd and seem to constantly be changing--some days she loves veggies and other days she doesn't want to eat any solids.
Last Saturday was our first race and it started rough and ended really well! If you are not an avid race fan, you may not know of the new rule changes this year where Corey had to adjust the set-up of his car (ask him for details). With this major change, we weren't sure how the car was going to respond. In the heat race- it wasn't well! Corey literally could not turn the car....at all! So, he did a total makeover and changed a variety of things ..which had great results. He started 11th in the feature and ended 4th (he was running 3rd but was passed right at the end). Considering first went to Dan Ebert and second went to Shane Sabraski..being 3rd would have been like winning the race for us..but 4th was WONDERFUL. He reflected and realized that he wasn't in the tech shed at all last year--so to be there the first race of the season felt great and we hope to be there more this year.
Here are some pictues of our trophy girl :)
Bath in the sink! Emma had a #2 accident in the bathtub and so we relocated her to the sink to finish bath time! There isn't much room to kick and play here..but lots of bubbles to make up for it!
Happy Easter!
New bathtub- this is our 3rd bathtub purchased and so far--my favorite!! She was having fun but on the edge of bedtime so she took a time out from splashing to suck on her fingers a bit. For those of you that knew me as a kid...it looks familiar..only she uses her pointer and middle finger whereas I used my middle and ring finger.
Also- I completely forgot to make a May resolution--in fact it didn't cross my mind until a couple days ago. Therefore, I think I failed for May..although I could use Penny Pincher Jennifer since I have been doing that since the beginning of the month and am not sure how much longer I will do it for.
Have a great week!
