sorry that i haven't been updating as much as i planned on. but let me catch you up on life ...
right before Christmas, our doctor told us that he was concerned with Emerson's weight and would like to get either an x-ray or ultrasound to see if he had something that would need surgery to correct. we did our best to leave it in God's hands since we had to get through Christmas before we got the ultrasound.
lucky was on-call the week of Christmas, so we weren't able to go anywhere. we thought that meant a quieter Christmas, but we were mistaken ... we had lots of visitors and tons of fun! (look for a family update and one from each girl about our Christmas!)
in the middle of this wonderful week, natalie's parents came and watched the girls so we could take Emerson to his ultrasound appointment. we are blessed to be able to say that nothing was wrong with Emerson. we had prepared our hearts for Emerson to need surgery and we are thankful that this wasn't part of God's plan.
we went to the doctor right after New Year's and had Emerson weighed. in 14 days, Emerson had gained 12 oz!!! so he is doing much better. we have changed his acid reflux medicine and see if that will help keep some of the milk inside him. so we will wait and see if it does.
so this year has been wonderful so fa though i haven't taken ANY pictures in 2008. i will get on that and get them on here for you. but here are some of Emerson's pictures at the end of 2007.
