All By Myself......

Imagine me singing that today because today is the first day I will be alone with BOTH kids all by myself! LOL! Nana left yesterday morning and Karl is back to work so it just me, Max and Emma!

Of course last night Emma decided to be super fussy (for the 2nd night in a row) at about 4 am till about 5 am....which of course means I am sucking down coffee like it's air....thankfully Max has been great so far this morning. He was even concerned while Emma was crying and I was trying to get her bottle ready, get his breakfast, and let the dog out....he kept coming up to me telling me "Emma sad" and stuck his bottom lip out to get his point across!

The big test will be this morning because I have to run to the store and get a few groceries....not sure how I did not notice I was almost out of milk AND bread yesterday but apparently I missed it SOOOOO that means a trip to the store for all three of us. Wish me luck and stay tuned later today because I will be posting some recent pics of Emma!

Classis Max....

This morning Max said and did something that truly made me laugh so hard I almost peed.....

We were getting ready to head out to the zoo and Max was still in his pj's. He was still watching tv as I came into the living room to get him dressed and I noticed that he had his hand down the front of his diaper....very casually I asked him what he was doing - he whipped his hand out and said no, and then proceeded to continue watching tv. I just about died I was laughing so hard!

I hope this is not a sign of what is to come!! LOL!

More pics of Emma....

Here are a few more pics of Emma....some with the in-laws and with Max...


Announcing Emma Jean Marie Rudolph....

She is finally here! Sorry about the delay but we have had a couple of busy days!
Emma arrived at 11:59 pm on 9/9/09, with just 30 seconds left...and she was worth the wait.

Because she has a little jaundice we have had to go back to the hospital every day to have her biliruben checked, basically a blood test....but today she got the all clear from the doctor and does not have to go back for another one! Woo-hoo!

Max is adjusting well....he has had a few meltdowns but on the whole is doing great! She is sleeping fairly well - about 3 1/2 to 4 hours at a time....which is great to me! I will try and get some more pictures up soon!

Take Me Out, I'm Done!!!!!

I had my doctor's appointment yesterday and much to my dismay I am STILL only dilated to a 1....uuuggghhhh!

My regular doctor was out for an emergency so I was only able to see the nurse practiticioner BUT I am calling my doctor this morning and am going to ask about being induced. I really didn't want to go through the whole pitocin thing but I am soooooo ready for this little bundle to be out in the real world!

I am hanging in there - literally....she is so low I don't know how she is not coming out! She is very active, and so is Max - another reason I would like her to be here so it's a little easier for me to get around.

Was up ALOT last night because I could not seem to get comfortable...woke up almost every 2 hours and then woke up at around 3 am and was awake till about 5 am. Of course Max is up like clockwork at 6:30 am, much to my dismay.

Stay tuned for any news...... :)
