Church Day
Today was Caden's first day at Grace Pointe church of Christ. Everyone oooed and awwed over him. When the announcement was made that Caden was in the audience, Daddy held him up for all to see (think Lion King). Daddy was excited to wear his new shirt which read "Caden's Daddy". We were quite the proud parents today!

Mattie & Caden
Mattie & CadenOriginally uploaded by The Emersons.
The girls & Caden
April's grandparents drove from Arlington, Texas to visit their first great-grandson. This was a surprise visit...even to Caden's Nana (April's Mom).
Our little gloworm
Our precious little boy had jaundice the first few days of his life. We were blessed to be able to treat him with photo therapy at home. Sometimes, photo therapy is given by placing the baby under certain lights to help break down the biliruben. Caden had a light that he wore on his back which strapped to his little body. This allowed us to hold him and feed him. Unfortunatly, it required us to keep Caden close to an outlet, making movement limited. The light let off a "glow" making him look like a gloworm. We also had to suppliment his feedings with formula until my milk came in. Caden had his heal pricked to check his biliruben count until it was down to a safe level. Praise God he was only on the machine for four days.

Caden's 1st Halloween
We never dreamed he's make it for Halloween. We always thought he'd be a November baby. Boy were we wrong. Thanks to Gamma for making him a "Caden's First Halloween" bib. November 1st, Caden will be one week old...they were right, time does fly.

The Proud Parents
This is the first picture taken of our little family after Caden arrived. Could there be a great blessing than the first few moments with your first born child?!
Cuddling with Mommy
Mommy discovered that Caden is the cuddle bug she and Daddy always dreamed of having.
Hands
This picture was taken on the first day we brought Caden home. His Daddy is fascinated by his tiny little features.

Cradle made by Dad
Gran Pa and Mommy stand proudly next to the cradle that will very soon hold a precious little gift. We went to the doctor yesterday and everything continues to be exactly how it should be. My strep-B test came back negative and my blood pressure looks great. Although I feel uncomfortable at times, Dr. Kouri assured me that everything is as it should be.
April admiring cradle
Our baby shower at GracePointe Church of Christ was wonderful! We were loved on and blessed by their generosity. My favorite item of the day had to be a special gift from my parents. My Daddy had worked several months on making this beautiful cradle for his first grandchild.

29 days and counting....
I know..I know...babies don't always come on their due dates, but I have to have something to focus on. I'm reaching that point where I'm ready for this baby to be here. I'm not to "get this baby out of me" just yet, but I am ready to meet the little one...or at least I think I am.

33 weeks
33 weeks...only 7 to go! We're almost finished moving into our apartment. We hope to be done by October so we can enjoy it a little before family comes to visit. I've been working on getting registered at Target and Baby Depot. Baby Depot seems to have techinal difficulty more often than not. Brett and I are getting more and more excited to meet this little one and to find out if it's a boy or girl!

30 weeks
So here we are...30 weeks...only 10 more until we meet baby Emerson. 
WOW! The time has flown. We are finally moved in to our new apartment in Montgomery. We are not unpacked...just moved in. But we are slowly making the apartment feel more like a home. It has been nice to have a place to ourselves again. Making dinner for the two of us has been a rediscovered joy with my own kitchen again. Thanks to my parents for the blessing they were to us this past year in allowing us to live with them! I know it's awfully quite around there now. Not to worry, we'll have a crying baby with us before you know it.
Tomorrow we will celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary...our last one as a two person family. It has been 4 years of excitement, lots of transitions, and continually growing love. The Lord has blessed us over abundantly and we praise His name for His guidance during the last few years. We thank Him especially for the gift of life that He is creating for Brett and me.

Charleston, South Carolina
It's time to put another pregnancy picture up...but you'll have to wait a few more days for an "April only" pic. This picture was taken around the end of July outside Gilligan's, a restaurant in Charleston, South Carolina. I am almost 6 months pregnant here. We are moving next weekend to Montgomery, Alabama. We'll try to get a new picture up once we get settled. Keep checking.
