It was my intention to update Emma Kate’s blog every two or three days. However, last week i failed miserably! One of the golden rules of blogging is to post at regular intervals and not to have large gaps between posts. Forgive me for breaking that rule! Here is my update:

Life is continuing to press on with Emma Kate. She continues to be a bigger joy than any of us could have imagined. Her sleeping habits last week were starting to become more regular and we had a few nights where she would go about 3 hours between feedings without fussing much. This all changed on Tuesday when she wouldn’t go more than 2 hours, and was usually crying way before the 2 hour mark. We took her to the doctor (as explained in my previous post), and the doctor said she might be going through a growth spurt, or might be over-stimulated from our company, or might just be getting more demanding as her original due date approaches (tomorrow!).

Cousin Haley and Aunt Terri from Colorado flew into Knoxville this weekend, and Alison’s parents drove them to our house on Monday. Her parents are staying until this afternoon and Terri & Haley are staying until Sunday. Alison’s other sister, Kaye, and her two kids, Jake & Megan, are driving down tomorrow and staying through Sunday. My cousin Hester and her husband David are driving in from Columbia, SC just to spend Saturday with us. Needless to say, it has been and will continue to be a zoo at our house, but we love seeing all of the family!

OK, I know you’re really just here to see the photos, so I won’t delay them any more. Enjoy!
