Sisters

Here are the matching shirts I embroidered with Emily and Abigail's name on them. Here we are at out "photo shoot" this morning in Emily's room:
Abigail definitely knows that Emily is her sister. Whenever Emily talks she turns her head towards her and watches her. It's sweet for me to watch:

Here's what Abigail thought of how long the photos were taking:She carried this attitude with her when we went to lunch. I figured since I got them all dressed up we would go get a bite to eat at our favorite Chicken place. Emily was ready to get out of the house for a little bit so we headed that way. But Abigail decided to be fussy this time so our stay was short. The manager at the restaurant WAS SO NICE! She took our order and then brought the food to us and got Emily all settled with her food. Then when she saw us leaving she came back over, helped me get packed up, walked us to the car and stayed there with me until both girls were in their car seats. I love this restaurant! Very family friendly.

I had to take both Emily and Abigail to the doctor on Monday. Emily was running a fever and since it was time for Abigail's 1 month appointment the doctor saw both of them at the same time . . . thankfully. I thought Emily might have an ear infection but she doesn't. Just the end of one cold and the start of another which brought on a fever.

Abigail weighs 9 lbs and 8 oz and is 22 inches long. Emily is 27 pounds and I think they said 37 inches??? The visit was a bit of a blur since Abigail was ready to eat and screaming her head off the entire time. The doctor had to yell over her and had to repeat himself several times because I couldn't hear him. This girl has got some lungs on her!!! I'm thankful though that she is healthy.

Then I had to go for my checkup appointment yesterday. I had to take both girls with me since Emily couldn't go to school with a fever. Emily was an old pro at my doctor's visits so she did fine. Abigail decided she wasn't about to sit in the car seat for me so the nurse took her and carried her around to see other patients while I met with the doctor. I tell you . . . you don't realize how many sweet angels there are in the world to help a mother out . . . but I have come across some sweet ones!

So we've had lots of outings this week that have been humbling for me. I'm glad to just jump in with both feet and go for it : ) I still laugh at myself because I don't think I went anywhere with Emily until she was 5 weeks old and Abigail has been all over the place by a month old.
