Our Sunday morning in pictures

Some time in the garden. Look what bloomed!

4 Months!

Our little girl just recently turned 4 months old. Time is passing by much too quickly. For a more detailed entry into what our little girl has been up to you can go to our Baby Blog. Here's the nitty gritty from her 4 month appointment:

Weight: 13lbs. That's a one pound gain from her 3 month appointment.
Height: 24 inches. That's a one inch increase from a month ago.

This puts her just under the 50th percentile for her weight according to the doctor. I still have to do the calculations for her height.

Here is our little girl from her 4 month photo shoot:

Then and Now

I've found myself thinking about last year a lot lately. Random moments when I've been feeding Emilie I'll say to Andre, "remember what we would have been doing around this time last year? I probably had a visit to Dr. C's office this morning". That was no different last weekend. I talked about Father's Day weekend last year here. It was the weekend of our IUI.

This year, we celebrated Father's Day a little differently:








It was the day of our little Emilie's Baptism. Whenever I thought about the significance of that day tears would come to my eyes. It was so fitting that she was Baptised on that day. Last year we left it up to God. Then a year later we made a promise to Him for our precious little girl.

Thank You

I would just like to send a huge thank you to everyone who responded to my last post, either by posting a comment, or getting in touch privately. It was great to know that I am indeed not the only one going through this.
This parent business is very hard, and I think sometimes we don't want to talk about the not so fun things, or feel like they're taboo. One of the hardest things about being a parent is that feeling of isolation sometimes, so thank you to everyone who was able to talk about those not so fun parts of parenthood, and helping me to feel not so isolated.
