As you know, Miss Emma Jo Hajduch joined the world on February 23, 2011 at 4:27 pm! She was a BIG girl -- 9 lbs. 2 oz. and 20.5 in. long (taking after her mommy who was a whopping 9 lbs. 3 oz.).
Emma is such a wonderful baby and she amazes Joey and I daily! Really, she sleeps 95% of the day, so that's why I had to capture a little bit of her awake time on video (although she isn't doing anything interesting in it, I just love seeing her baby blues!). This is us doing tummy time last night:
It is hard to believe that our little girl is going to be 1 month old tomorrow! Where does the time go?! It really has me freaked out at how quickly she is going to grow up :( I know with each phase/age she goes through will come new and exciting things, but I am just enjoying her being a newborn so much (minus me panicking at every little sound she makes, constantly checking on her at night to make sure she's still breathing, and all of the "unknowns" I get so paranoid about)!!
As I mentioned, she sleeps ALL OF THE TIME! I have to strip her down to wake her up for feedings (try to do about every 3 hours, except at night I just let her sleep until she wakes me up). Once she's stripped down, she fusses, I feed her for 5-7 minutes, she falls asleep. Then I have to do something to wake her up again (change her diaper, mess with her a little), then if we're lucky she'll eat for 10 more minutes (with breaks). It is a big ordeal and lots of work, but all worth it! I scheduled a weight check for this Thursday just to make sure she is gaining correctly -- fingers crossed!
Joey is such a great daddy!! I love watching the two of them together -- he absolutely adores her and I'm so blessed to be the wife of such a wonderful man :)
As for me, I absolutely love being a mom! I wouldn't change a thing! I just look at her and can't believe how beautiful she is and that she is actually here! She is so amazing and I am so lucky :)
Many of you are probably wondering how our naughty pups are adjusting -- well, we really couldn't ask for them to be much better! Preslie just wants to lick her and give her kisses whenever she walks by her, it's pretty cute. Here's a fun pic of the two of them :)

That's about all for now -- time for Emma's next feeding! :) Just wanted to send a quick thank you to all of our friends and family for their unbelievable love and support! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! <3
HAPPY TUESDAY!!
