Doing one of her favorite things, climbing the stairs
My mom had her knee replaced just a few days before Emi's birthday, so we went to her rehab center and opened presents there with Grandma.
Lights, music, and sound, what more can you ask for in a toy?!?!?!?
After we left Grandma, we went to Red Robin for birthday lunch. Emi enjoyed it, but its Dad's favorite too! If you sign up, you get a free burger for your birthday.
Emi just got free birthday Sundae, but she enjoyed it...
We had cake at home, just the 4 of us. Emalie was in heaven! She loved it.
Thought it was great fun to dig in with both hands!
Believe it or not, she ate most of that cake! And was up for hours that night, bouncing off the walls! : )
And for Emi:
1. Were you married at the time of the birth? Yep, just over 5 years.
2. What were your reactions when you found out you were pregnant? We were just elated! We had been trying for 2 years, had gone through rounds of fertility, including a failed IUI, but nothing. We had just decided to move to Utah, and knew we were losing our health insurance when we found out we were pregnant. But it all worked out ok.
3. How old were you? Just turned 34 when she was born
4. How did you find out you were pregnant? Took a test--not even sure why, but I did. Didn't think it was positive--Chris had to convince me it was.
5. Who did you tell first? Don't remember for sure. I think Chris told Carol before we even got results from the doctor, but my mom was first other than that.
6. Did you want to find out the sex? Yes
7. Due date: April 8
8. Did you deliver child early or late? 3 weeks early. Went in to the doctor for regular appointment--BP had been slowly going up again--Dr. said, Is there any reason we shouldn't have this baby? So we went in that night.
9. Did you have morning sickness? I think from the moment of conception
10. What did you crave? Nothing specific that I can remember
11. Who irritated you the most? Nobody really--it was a pretty good pregnancy, even with the BP issue
12. What is her birth order? 2nd
13. How many pounds did you gain throughout the pregnancy? 14, but already had plenty to spare
14. Did you have any complications during your pregnancy?Dealt with the BP issue again, and was on medication, but was pretty normal, considering...
15. Where did you give birth to your child? Alta View
16. How many hours were you in labor? induced at around 11pm, no real contractions until dr. broke water at 9 am, she was born at 1137 am.
17. Who drove you to the hospital? Chris
18. Who watched? Other than the typical medical personnel, it was just Chris.
19. Did you take medicine to ease the pain? Yep--had to have epidural 3 times, because it would only take on one side...
20. How much did she weigh? 6 lbs 11 oz
21. Why did you name her the name you picked? Just really liked it--had talked about it since Aynsli was about 6 months old...came down to Kenlie or Emalie...
22. Who was the first person you called? my mom--she and Aynsli were there within about 20 minutes
23. Who were your first visitor's? my mom and big sister Aynsli...also Aunt Mary, Rian, Ani and Oliver, and Devin and Marissa came to visit.
