Finally, Father's Day is celebrated!

We finally got to celebrate Father's Day with Jim's Dad. We were supposed to go the night of Emily's birthday (see 6/19 journal entry), but things did not work out.

We went to the Olive Garden and had a lot of fun!

Pictures and Bloodwork...

Well, today we went to Babies R Us to get Emily's Birthday pictures done. We got her to give them some smiles!

After that we went to get Emily's bloodwork done. Jim took her in by himself (I waited in the waiting room!) and she didn't even cry or flinch! The phlebotomist said she was such a good girl and got 2 stickers! One said "No Tears Today" and the other said "I was good, I held still. We were so proud of her...we took her for french fries!

Emily's 2nd Birthday Party!

Unlike last year...we had a beautiful day! We did still rent the tent, just in case!

Emily had a wonderful time playing with all her friends and family! She didn't stop until way, way past her bed time.

2 Year Doctor's Appointment....

Overall everything went well.

She is now 33.5 inches and 26lbs. She's in the 50th percentile for height and weight. She's right on target as far as talking and skills.

She had to get a shot for Hep-A. She was so good with the shot...she didn't even cry. Actually, she cried when her band-aid came off. Unfortunately, she has to get blood work done. At her 1 year, her lead was slightly higher than they like so they want to retest. They also want to check her cholesterol, since high cholesterol runs in both our families.

Her doctor was impressed that she has only been in for 1 sick visit! And it was just for a rash! Now, barring any sick visits, she doesn't have to go back for another year.

Emily's 2!!!!

Wow, I can't believe that 2 years have passed! Time sure does fly.... Overall, I had a pretty good birthday. I can't wait for my party on Saturday!

Unfortunately, Jim's Dad ended up in the hospital. We did go to the hospital to spend some time with him in the ER. He hopes to be released in time for Emily's party on Saturday. We just hope that he's okay! Thankfully, he is okay.

Emily asked to use the potty...

and did!! She went and told Daddy who called me to bring her into the bathroom. Since I wasn't really trying to train her, I didn't think she'd go. Well, she surprised me!

3rd Doctor's Appointment

Overall, another good appointment. Although, I lost 3 lbs. See what happens when you cut out soda!

Anyway, Baby's heartbeat sounded good. My Mom went with me again and was treated to another steady heartbeat! I had the bloodwork done for the AFP test, which screens for Spina Bifida.

As of 6/26/07 ~ Doctor hasn't called with news from the AFP...which is good news! They only call when there is a problem with the bloodwork.

Next appointment...July 6th

Emily's Professional 2nd Birthday Pictures

Well, Emily & I went with my parents to get pictures taken for her birthday. Again, she was all smiles....until she got in front of the camera! Overall, we got some cute shots.
