Emersonisms

I just have to share what my little Emerson has said the last couple of days. I hope they make you chuckle because Marcus and I got a good laugh from them.

Emerson LOVES to play Rock Band and her favorite song is "Eye of the Tiger." Well, on Sunday night she had the microphone out, without the game on, and was singing the chorus. Sing along in your head: "Eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight. Rising up to the challenge of the RHINO!" That's right, not a rival, but a rhino for her. I guess that's as big a rival as any :)

I will preface this by saying that Marcus and I do not discuss politics much at all, at least around the girls. Last night Emerson saw a picture of President Obama and said, "Dad, I know who that is!" "Who?" Marcus responded. "Silly dad, that's president O'Vomit." I guess they do sort of sound alike.

You have to love children for the simply darling, innocent things they say. How thankful I am for mine and how they keep me laughing!

San Fran Get Away

Marcus and I took a trip last weekend to San Francisco and had a fabulous time. Thanks to my wonderful mother for taking the girls for 5 days were had our first couple get away since before Eden was born. It was much needed and so fun. San Fran in one of our favorite get away destinations and the weather was perfect. We did TONS of walking through the city, much too much eating and lots of relaxing. We even slept in until 8:30 a couple of morning and that is a treat in itself!

We made daily trips to Ghirardelli's for either chocolate samples or my favorite, ice cream. I have LOVED mint chocolate chip since I was 3 years old.

Riding the trolley cars through town on a rainy afternoon. It only rained one afternoon, but it was so nice since we NEVER see rain here!

Traipsing through China Town, belly and all!

Marcus and I walked to the entire other side of the bay (6 miles) for dinner and this was the view. The restaurant is in the background on the left - The Cliff House.

If you look you can see the Golden Gate Bridge in the right background.

The view at night from our hotel room overlooking the Ferry Plaza and the Bay Bridge.

We really had a fantastic time and it was so nice to "reconnect" for a few days with no distractions. It reminds you just how much you not only love, but like the person you marry.

It's Official

Well, it is official now!

As some of you might know, I am a schedule your delivery kind of girl. In other words I have c-sections! I LOVE them and I love being able to schedule and plan in advance. I had yet another OB appointment today and we scheduled October 29, 2009 as our little ones birth day. Is it fate, who's to say. However, Marcus and I feel that it is a very fitting day as his big sister, who is preparing him right now for his journey on earth was born on the 29th as well. That's right, that is Eden's day as well. I do not know specifics of time yet, but he will arrive one day before my birthday. We also had an ultrasound today and he is measuring right on schedule weighing in at about 4.5 pounds right now. Not big I know, but I am not known for having real big babies. To be quite honest, I really don't care how big he is as long as he comes out perfectly healthy and strong. Although every test continues to come back "normal" and perfect, I still have my moments of doubt and skepticism. I am so excited though to finally have him here so get ready because in only 6 short weeks Marcus will have another man in the house!!!!!! I left the doctor realizing that I really need to get my act in gear and get things ready for his arrival. It's like it just hit me that I don't have all the time in the world and for any mom out there, we all know that 6 weeks is nothing. The ultrasound tech also told us that he has "tons of hair floating around in there." We have been told that with all of them and so far Eden took the cake for the most hair. We shall see!
