Emily Amber

Emily was born 2 minutes after Chloe. She was holding on for dear life when my doctor was pulling her out of my tummy. They said that it took about a minute to make her loosen her grip! LOL That's my girl, strong like her mama. The 2 minutes between Chloe and Emily seemed to be an hour. I was excited to see my baby girl. When they pulled her out and yelled, "It's a girl!" my heart filled with joy. She was a bit bigger than Chloe at 6 lbs 4 oz, pretty large for a twin. I'm so thankful that my girls were healthy and happy. I was so relieved to see them, I know I keep saying that but the worry that comes along with high risk mulitple pregnancy is immense.

The first thing I noticed about Emily is her precious little cowlick swirl where her hairline meets her forehead. This is how we distinguished the two at first. She was also a bit bigger than her sister. She has the chubbiest cheeks that are just so yummy!

Emily is the social one, she loves to talk her little heart out. Em never cries either. I am certainly so blessed. She gets so excited when underneath her mobile; she kicks her feet, grins from ear to ear and coo's nonstop. Her coo'ing melts my heart. Her face gets serious sometimes when coo'ing like she is really conversing with me. It's so awesome.

She is my little sleepy head. She likes to stay up with James and I just a little bit longer after her sister falls asleep. But then Emily falls asleep and it's all night, about 9 hours straight! Then, when she wakes up, she patiently waits, without crying until James or I get her out of her crib to lay in bed with us to nurse. Emily
She gets so excited when I ask her if she "wants chichi". She kicks her feet and coo's like crazy. One time, she got so excited that I swear she said, "OH YEAH!" after I asked her if she wanted chichi. My mom and sister were over at my house and we all busted up laughing in amazement.

She seems to always scoot over to her sister to cuddle, no matter how far away I put them in their crib they always find a way to cuddle with eachother. It is the most amazing thing ever to see them cuddle. When I look at my girls and see how beautiful, healthy, happy and perfect they are my heart melts and I am reminded about how blessed we are. I am anxious to see my girls grow, but am savoring every moment with my newborns as I know that this precious time cannot be taken back.
