8 months pregnant today!

Well today I am officially starting my 8th month! I can't believe how fast this pregnancy has been going! I am so excited to hold her and kiss her. Dave and I started our child-birth classes last week. We have 4 more weeks of it every Wednesday night! They will serve us well once the time comes to deliver Kate. I think it is a great eye-opener for Dave. All the information we learn in the class I already know, but Dave will have to step up to the plate once labor hits, so this class is more for Dave!!! I think he truly likes learning all about this stuff, but of course he won't admit to it!!! Well, only 8 more weeks and we will be parents! Life will be dramarically changing soon, and we are thrilled!!!

Coming Attraction!

31 Weeks pregnant!!!! 9 weeks to go!! I just took these pictures last night for the baby shower invitation. I am feeling pretty good, except the days I work those long hours. Usually the days I work, I get really bad sciatica pain, that shoots down my right leg. But it also is nice to be busy at work because it helps pass the time! Last night I set up the pack-n-play and it looks so cute. We are really getting everything ready for Kate. I didn't want to be much further along and have to decorate the nursery or go out buying last minute things. I just wanted to try to relax as much as possible and enjoy these last few weeks of FREEDOM!!!! haha. But we are getting more excited with each passing day!

Dave's daughter!

The spitting image of Daddy!!! When I saw this in the sonogram, I couldn't believe my eyes! It was as though I was looking at Dave while he slept. It was such a special moment to see my husband in our unborn daughters face. Alghough I must say, I think I see a lot of me in the other photos of her. But this one in particular is 100% her daddy! It will be fun to compare a picture of Kate after she is born with all of these 4D pictures! It is truly a miracle to create another human being. How does anybody look at these photos and say that there is not a GOD! We have such an awesome and creative God!

Uncle Dave and his side-kick!

My family all met in Disney World for Thanksgiving 2006! Here, Dave and our littlest niece, Heidi, posed for a goofy photo. Heidi has formed an inseparable bond with her Uncle Dave!!! She LOVES him! We went to Chicago a couple weeks ago, and Heidi would only go to Uncle Dave (my feelings were a little hurt, but boy did it make Dave feel great!) Heidi actually pushed me away from Dave while he was cuddling with her. I heard Dave say MANY times "I'm ready for Kate to be here"!!!!

What a HOTTIE!!

Mmmm......my hunky husband!!! Here we are on the beach of Cabo San Lucas! (you didn't honestly think that I was going to put a picture of me pregnant in a swimsuit on the beach?? Did you??haha) We want to go back there next year with Kate. We basically hung out at the poolside the whole time just relaxing. I felt bad, because Dave wanted to do much more adventurous things, but I was pretty much out of commission!

Our current baby!!

Well, this is our current baby girl, Emma Grace! She will soon have to share the spotlight with Kate Embry come this October! We have had Emma for almost 3 years. She is such a great and sweet golden retriever. She LOVES kids and babies, so I think she will adapt very well with the new baby. As you can see in this picture, she is very studious!!!
