Month 3 for cupcake night

Well its been a while since my last post. Emma Lin's surgery went well. She did great. I did pretty good. Once they gave her the sedative I didn't feel so bad about them taking her. She didn't even cry she was so dopy and tired. I don't know if the surgery worked, her eye still seems to tear up. We took her back for a follow up appointment and the doc said give it another 2 weeks sometimes the tear duct stays swollen for a while. So hopefully that is the case. I am not sure if I would put her through a surgery again so soon.
We have been keeping busy with such nice weather we have been outside and enjoying the sun. Emma is getting so big, she is now into 12 months cloths they are still a little big but she needs them for the length. The 9 months stuff is just to short for her. I think she is going to be tall. She is so funny, I really can't get enough of her. She is still not really talking,but on occasion does say a word or two. The other day I sneezed and she said bless you as clear as day. It was so cute. My mom was holding another little baby cousin of ours and Emma took one look at her and you could tell she was not very happy she was holding another baby. She grab a book and said to my mom "take this". I almost fell over, it was so funny. I guess she thought if she held the book she couldn't hold the baby.

Cupcake night went well. We celebrated in princess style. We have princess cupcakes and Emma wore a little cupcake princess outfit. We had my parents over, my nephew nicky, Ryan's dad and nephew. Along with my grandmom, friends lisa and john and their two little ones and my cousin rosie and her mom along with rosies two little ones. It was a nice night. Emma had a good time playing with Kyle and Colin and her new kitchen set. I really like having cupcake night it a good time to get everyone together to celebrate Emma's new life here with us.
She has come such a long way in these past 3 months. She has such a personality. She funny, playful and full of life. She doesn't miss a beat and wants to learn everything. She has a great time rough housing with daddy and cuddling with mommy. She really loves our cats and gets so excited to play with them. Emma and our dog Sadie have become best friends, Emma torchors Sadie while Sadies sits there waiting for treats from mommy. I think Sadie has gain a couple pounds since Emma has been home. She get Emma leftovers and steal some of her snacks. Its so cute to watch them two interact.
Emma just loves to sing and dance so we signed her up for a mommy and me music class. We had our first class on monday and it was really fun. Emma just sat on my lap and stared at the music teacher taking it all in. Hopefully this week she will get up and dance like the other kids. I know she liked it,but just wasn't sure what to do. Well ta ta till next time.

eye surgery

Emma Lin goes in for her eye surgery tomorrow. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers that everything goes good. Her appointment is set at 6:30 in the morning.

What a week

Well we found out this week Emma Lin is going to need surgery on her tear duct! We got a second opinion and this doc said the same thing as our first. So she is scheduled to go in next Friday the 10th. My biggest fear is this is going to set back some of our bonding. I feel as though Emma trusts us 100% and I really hope that this surgery does not change that. The doc said we can stay with her up till she goes into pre op. Then we have to leave. This is going to be very traumatic for her. She does not like being without me, ryan, my mom or my sister. I hope she won't think we are leaving her and the nurses and doc are taking her. I really wish this surgery could wait, but the doc said success rate goes down as they get older and its could get more involved procedure. She also had to get blood work done again this week. Boy that was really ruff on both of us. Being held down with strangers holding her arms was super traumatic for her and she was not her self the whole day. I feel so bad for her. I can't wait till she can understand no one is going to take her away from us. All this happen this week just when I went back to work. I don't like being away from her. So happy Monday is a holiday.

Me and Ryan are gong to take her to the shore, she loves the beach and loves rides so hopefully she will have a great time and forget all about the bad experiences of the week. To many doc appointments for such a little girl. here are some cute pics!
