So much of this first month has been easier, and so much has been harder. Emma is a great baby and is eating and sleeping well. And Clara has handled the adjustment really well, no jealousy or anger toward baby sister. She has had some tantrums and days of being overly hyper, but it's hard to know how much of that is because of the new baby and how much is simply being a two year old. Overall it's been really great and we've had a lot of help, and for that I am very thankful!<br />
<br />
Emma Highlights:<br />
<ul>
<li>Eating and sleeping well - goes for at least one 4 hour stretch at night, sometimes even 5</li>
<li>Has been to the doctor twice and gained back all her weight by the second week</li>
<li>Has gone on a few walks around the block and to the park to watch big sister play </li>
<li>Around 11 pounds at 4 weeks old</li>
<li>Went to the church nursery on Wednesday night during her 4th week while mama went to a meeting, and she did great!</li>
<li>Started sleeping in her crib at 4 weeks </li>
<li>Has been pretty fussy in the evenings (witching hour), hoping she grows out of this soon! </li>
</ul>

This pregnancy was a lot more difficult for me than Clara, with <strike>morning</strike> all day sickness lasting past 20 weeks, constant heartburn, and a lot more pain and exhaustion. Of course, a portion of this was due to chasing a toddler around, or maybe it just Emma's way of making sure she got some attention from the beginning.<br />
<br />
Because of all this, I was pretty anxious to meet our little girl. My doctor thought I would deliver somewhere between my 39th and 40th week, which only made that week a very long one for me as I counted down the days. Every day brought some new sign or symptom that made me think that day would be it, and then I'd wake up the next day with no baby. We even tried to see if Hank's ice cream could coax her out, and although I'll give them some credit since we went Thursday night and I went into labor Friday night, it didn't have quite the same effect as <a href="http://thepasches.blogspot.com/2011/11/birth-story-part-1.html" target="_blank">the first time</a>.<br />

<br />
On Friday night, Clint and I went for a last date to Carraba's while Clara was at Kids Night Out at church. I had been having pretty constant but irregular contractions all week, but was always able to make them stop after some period of time. We went to sleep that night, I woke up around 12:45, and then at 1:30 my water broke. I wasn't completely sure because it wasn't as obvious as last time, so I laid back down to take some time to make sure. I didn't want to wake up everyone in the middle of the night for a false alarm. I started timing contractions which were about 10 mins apart, but quickly went to 6 mins apart. At around 2 we decided we should probably head to the hospital either way, and called Kathy to come over to stay with Clara. We got to the hospital around 3, and it was confirmed that my water had broken and that I was 4-5 cm dilated. Apparently there are two bags that the baby is contained in, and only one of mine had broken, which was why my water breaking wasn't as obvious as before (they often break together at the end of pregnancy) and why the baby was still carrying pretty high.<br />
<br />
My contractions were getting pretty painful at this point, so I decided to go ahead and ask for the epidural. I wasn't sure in advance if I was going to get one, but based on how far I still had to go and my pain level, I decided it was inevitable. And the nurse encouraged me to get it before the nurse/doctor shift change at 7 so I wouldn't be delayed even further. I was taken to labor and delivery around 5:00, and got the epidural at 6:15. An ultrasound was also done to check the position of the baby, and we saw that she was head down but face up. At around 7:15 my new nurses needed to insert my catheter (necessary with an epidural) and were going to check my progress as well. I had two nurses, because one was new and was being trained, which was actually really helpful because the experienced nurse was explaining in detail everything that was going on. The new nurse checked and thought I was 7-8 cm, and then the experienced nurse checked and said,"I think she's at 9, no, I think she's complete!" We were all pretty surprised that it had happened that fast, and now I know why the contractions had been getting so painful towards the end. I happened to mention that the baby was face up, and the nurses suggested I roll to my side to see if the baby would turn. When they started to help me re-position, the rest of my water broke, and the baby dropped, which temporarily caused her heart rate to drop. I was put on oxygen and told to basically relax and do nothing because my doctor wasn't there yet. At this point, I started to feel a lot more pressure. Luckily, my doctor arrived shortly after and immediately started the preparation for delivery. We pushed for probably only 10 to 15 minutes and Emma was born at 8:09 am.<br />

Baby E gave us a little bit of worry in the minutes after she was born because she started turning very purple. The nurse calmly took her away and started to suction her mouth and nose. Apparently she had swallowed a lot of fluid and pretty quickly her color returned to normal and she let out some good cries. The nurse was also concerned about her eating quickly because she was so big, but when they checked her sugar levels she was within the appropriate range.<br />
<br />
We wanted Clara to be the first to meet her, so as soon as we were able Clint went and brought her in. She seemed a little shy at first, and sweetly said "Mama, are you okay?" I guess I looked a little tired and pale. She got to watch as they changed her sister's first diaper. <br />

What better time to start than the obligatory first day of school pic :)<br />

This is Clara, first day of Toddler C. This is her "say cheese, show your teeth" face.<br />

We took Clara to meet Santa for the first time, and while she wasn't enamored by him, she didn't cry. I think her main emotion was confusion as to why she was sitting on some strangers' lap while her parents made crazy faces and danced around in front of her. </div>

My favorite part about the next picture is the text I got with it - "Don't get mad about this one. It was organic...does that count?" :)<br />

This has been a huge month of changes - we have really seen her go from being a baby to becoming a little person. Clint and I are shocked and amazed by her every day.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Highlights</u></strong><br />
<ul>
<li>Walking everywhere exclusively.</li>
<li>Says mama, dada, ball, no, uh-oh, hello, bye-bye and Elmo :) Calls the cats mow-mows.</li>
<li>Started giving hugs last week - sweetest thing ever.</li>
<li>She has been a little clingier than usual - not sure if it's the age or because I've been working a lot recently.</li>
<li>Started sleeping until 6 am after a few nights of crying it out. May sound early for some but it's a HUGE improvement for us.</li>
<li>Loves being outside and just walking everywhere all over the yard exploring. She will bring you her shoes when she wants to go out.</li>
<li>Can follow a lot of commands - you can ask her to bring you items, or pick something up, or follow you somewhere.</li>
<li>Knows where her nose, teeth and tongue are. </li>
<li>Loves watching the Tuneables DVD that her Aunti K gave her - she sees the case and will point at it and carry it to you when she wants to watch it. She dances and sings and follows the commands in the show, it's pretty funny and impressive to watch.</li>
<li>Eats pretty much everything, but can be picky on occasion. Ate peanut butter for the first time and loves it, especially when it's one of her Daddy's crackers.</li>
<li>Obviously had her first sucker :)</li>
</ul>

The doctor said she looked perfect as usual. Our main question for him related to sleep, which I think is our question at every appointment - she has been waking up really early recently (and I mean really early...4 had become very normal) and the doctor said we should probably try some tough love again to get her to a more reasonable hour. Never fun but we are hopeful...and desperate!<br />
<br />
She wasn't in a very good mood for her appointment, and the shots she got didn't really help much. The only thing that we could do to make her even a little bit happy was cheerios of course. <br />

We celebrated Clara's first birthday with a party at our house on September 30th. We decided to have a traditional birthday theme - cupcakes, balloons, and a party hat. She seemed a little nervous when the party first started, almost as if she was confused why there were so many people in her house staring at her. But it didn't take long for her to realize that she was the guest of honor and entertain us all. <br />

The main event for the party was the cake smash of course. We hadn't let Clara have any cake before her birthday, so I was very interested to see how she would respond to her first real taste of sweet icing and birthday cake. She was a little hesitant at first, and mainly licked the icing, but eventually she figured it out and I think she liked it!<br />

It was a wonderful day for our family and we are so thankful for everyone that was there to support us and celebrate Clara's first year.

One of his co-workers had told him for a few weeks that if we went and I ate the Butter Pecan Ice cream, my water would break. And, to our surprise, it actually worked!<br />

We decided that it would be a fun tradition to start taking Clara to eat ice cream on her Birthday Eve. This first year it would be to eat her first ice cream, but every year to celebrate the start of our life as a family of three.<br />
<br />
When we got there on Friday night, the same lady was working that had been there a year ago, and she remembered us! It was really fun to go back and re-live that night and to have Clara with us. What a difference a year makes!<br />

Aggie tailgate. We ate ice cream sandwiches and she got to open a few
presents. I think she had a great day turning one!<br />

<ul>
<li>Still crawling everywhere and pulling up on everything...I don't think she ever stops moving unless she is asleep, and sometimes not even then!</li>
<li>Has stood without support for a few seconds a few times</li>
<li>Doesn't really show a lot of interest in walking yet, probably because her crawling is so efficient</li>
<li>Started scrunching up her nose as her facial response to most situations</li>
<li>Started clapping a few months ago, but now does it often both on her own when she is happy about something or any time you say "Yay!"</li>
<li>Clicks her tongue when we ask for kisses...I think that is what a kissing sound sounds like to her</li>
<li>New foods this month were scrambled eggs, pancakes, whole milk, strawberries, hummus, and a dab of whip cream :) Cheese is by far her current favorite food. Started cheerios this weekend and loves those. </li>
<li>Currently eats three meals a day and a snack, nurses twice, and takes two bottles. Breakfast is usually yogurt, and then eats a half jar of meat/veggie and a half jar of fruit at lunch and dinner. </li>
<li>Loves dogs and went to the Dog Show on her 10 month birthday with her Auntie K</li>
<li>Spent the night away for the first time this month - once in Katy and once in Tomball</li>

Clara thinks Dr. Injac is pretty great too, especially when he lets her play with his stethoscope and tongue depressors. <br />
<br />
She weighs 19 lb, 14 oz (61%), is 28 in tall (55%) and her head is 17.52 in around (59%). No shots at this appointment, but she did have to get a toe prick and she didn't cry at all. The big news for us at this appointment is that we can start giving her cow's milk during the day. And that she can eat pretty much anything we want to give her since she hasn't had any food issues so far. When we talked about her sleep (or lack of it), specifically addressing the early rising, Clint and I were basically told that we just had to deal. Somehow I think that she has the doctor wrapped around her little finger already! But who can blame him :)<br />
