Emma Grace is 2!!!!

Emma is two today! I just can't believe it! As Nathan said this morning when we woke up, it seems just like yesterday that we were in the NICU watching our tiny baby struggle for each breath. What a long way we have come since then! We have seen breathing monitors, heart specialist, failur to thrive, therapist, weight checks, and so much more! To think that my little porker belly kid once had to have weight checks once a week to make sure she was gaining fast enough! It's almost like once she realized what food was for, there was no stopping her! She lives for food!

We woke her up this morning with a "Happy Birthday Emma!" Then took her downstiars to a decorated house and a pancake breakfast form daddy. She just was so excited, except I think maybe sister was just a tad bit more!!! Maddelyn's first words this morning were "Where's the cake?" She does not understand that Emma's birthday is today but her Pink Poodle Birthday Party is not until Saturday. Maddelyn is probably just as excited with Emma's birthday as she would be her own! She has been helping us get ready for the party as well as pick up the gifts. Maddelyn I think went and just picked out what she herself wanted and said..here...Emma will like these! Oh well! Emma will like them! Maddelyn also hand stamped her sister a birthday card last night! Such a cute big sister! We have plans tonight to go out to eat with the grandma's to celebrate.
