1 Month

Emma Grace is 1 month old!

Stats for Miss Emma Grace for this first month...

1. Weight: 10 lb 5 oz--this weight is quite something for me. At one month Abigail weighed 8 lb 12 oz, so Emma Grace is significantly heavier than her. She is a good eater. ;)

2. Diapers: size 1

3. Clothing: the bigger newborn items, 0-3 month, and 3 months

4. Eating: Emma Grace nurses 7-8 times a day and is very quick.

5. Sleeping: The last couple days Emma Grace has really put us through the ringer with her night time sleep. I nurse her at around 10:30 and she has been wanting to stay up afterward!!! It makes for very long nights and very early mornings with her big sister. Before these last couples days however, she was going down after I nursed her and then getting up in the middle of the night and then again in the early morning, right before Abigail would wake up. Any time she is ready to get back to that schedule we are ready. :)

6. Daily Schedule: I nurse every 2.5-3 hours and she sleeps for around 2 hours between each feeding.

7. She just smiled at me today!!!-Tuesday, April 7, 2015

8. She is really getting some major rolls and they are precious. She is also the spitting image of her sister.

9. Emma Grace sleeps under a blanket, SOMETIMES swaddled at night, but she doesn't really like it.

10. We are working on taking a passy. Hoping that catches on soon.

Emma Grace...we love you to the moon and back and cannot imagine our family without you.

Happy Easter!

Sunday was Easter and it was also my first time back at Sunday School! Emma Grace is still too young to go to the nursery, so she came to Sunday School with us and did great. I was so glad to be back. Somehow being back at church just makes you feel like a real person again. And of course, what Sunday is better to come back than Easter?! David looked great, I was wearing a brand new yellow dress courtesy of my Mom, and the girls were wearing matching pink, smocked, flower dresses courtesy of Kathy. It felt like a regular day until I looked through our camera at our family photos and realized again that I have two kids now. Whoa.:)

After church we went to Mike and Kathy's for lunch and also did a little bit of Easter egg hunting. Emma Grace slept through it all and Abigail had a blast with Shepherd and Rebecca.

Happy Easter from the Rainwaters...David, Rachel, Abigail and Emma Grace HE IS RISEN!

I am yet again an aunt! My brother and his wife Kara had their baby on Wednesday, April 1 and she is perfect! We all went to Fayetteville to meet her on Friday night and stayed for half the day on Saturday. Tripp and Kara are doing good and starting to get in the groove. Now my parents have 3 granddaughters under 2 1/2! Things are about to get crazier. It was also Tripp and Kara's first time to meet Emma Grace.
