2 1/2 weeks to go

In the words of my doctor, we've got a ways to go! Doesn't look like anything will be happening soon with Emma. She's still riding high and enjoying her life inside a warm tummy. We did another ultrasound just to confirm that she is head-down. She just hasn't decided to drop yet. (The ultrasound was also confirmation #3 that baby is a she. Baby Boy Dietrich won't have to learn to like pink, lol.)

More next week!

Christmas is just around the corner...

With six weeks to go, Shawn and I are feeling quite busy! We did get the tree up and decorated (don't ask about all the boxes still in the living room!). I'm still attempting to get Emma's quilt done as well as the rest of her crib bedding. I'm only feeling slightly stressed about getting it done before she's born--but hey, she won't notice, right? And in our spare time we're trying to get our Christmas cards out. The holidays are fun but always so hectic....

Emma's first photo!

Welcome to the baby site!

We are very excited about the soon arrival of Emma Noelle! The name Emma has always been our favorite and we picked Noelle because her birth will be so close to Christmas.

Will she be a brunette like her mother? Or a blonde like her father? Brown eyes like mom or blue eyes like dad? We are looking forward to greeting Emma around January 16 and seeing what she looks like! Shawn is hoping he will be around for the occasion. We’re pretty sure Heather will be.

Emma has already been blessed with a number of clothes, CDs, a crib, a swing, and a small library of books. She will no doubt be very well dressed and a good reader.

Stay tuned for more news.
