Sunday!


So Sunday was our first day of church with Emma! I was really nervous about how much sleep we were going to get the night before... and when she was going to be hungry. We ended up REALLY lucky! We got her all dressed up cute, and then took pictures and fed her. We made it to church with a couple minutes to spare! People kept telling us how adorable she is, and I just can't argue with them... anyway, she fell asleep in the car on the way to church, and then slept until the last 15 minutes of church. Then she started to wake up and Logan had to take her out of her carseat to play... then she got mad because she was hungry, but really, all in all, it went great, and it was nice to be at church again and feel the spirit.


As a side note, Emma giggles a lot when she is sleeping. Sometimes she'll giggle for a long time, but I can't ever catch it on video! So this is a REALLY short giggle, but it's still cute:



Logan and I are doing great! Logan should hear back from ISU's pharmacy school around the 5th of April! We are really excited and nervous. I'm not up to much yet, just relaxing and learning how to be a mommy. It was really tough at first, but it just keeps getting better and better. I love Emma very much. 

Here are some extra pics just for fun!

Baby Pictures!

I've wanted to do this post for a while. Here is a couple of pictures of Logan when he was a baby and a picture of me and one of Emma. Just for fun... who does she look like?

Wasn't Logan so cute? I call the first one his hamster picture :)


Personally... I think my "official" baby picture turned out better than his :) What's up with his "o" anyway?
I think I look pretty confident about the world!


Anyway, and here, of course, is Emma:



Anyways, some more pictures of Emma recently: (tomorrow she is 3 weeks old!)

A Daughter of God

I just wanted to share a little experience I had while in the hospital.

Logan was in class so I was just there at the hospital by myself for a couple of hours, and Emma had just finished nursing and was awake and just watching me so I was talking to her. I was just talking about Logan and all her grandparents and aunts and uncles and suddenly I had this really strong urge to talk about Heaven and how she's a daughter of God. So I was telling her all about it and after a minute she lets out a big breath and just looks at me and the look said a million things, but most importantly it said, "I'm glad you know that mom, don't let me forget it." It was such a strong impression. It was really short and only lasted a few seconds, but I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that this little girl came from God. And I love her so much. And I will do all I can to teach her that so that she doesn't forget.
