Hello World!

Hello Cricuteers!

I am so proud to finally be able to introduce you to my son... Emerson John.

He was born on July 5th - 5 1/2 weeks before my due date and 2 1/2 weeks before the doctors were planning to induce labor.  He only weighed 4 lbs, 14 oz. and spent 11 days in the NICU due to his early arrival, but was perfectly healthy at birth.  He just needed a little extra time to coordinate his eating and breathing.  He is now 7 weeks old, weighs just over 8 lbs, and is doing wonderfully.  He has also grown almost 3 inches in length.  We are so proud of him!

Mom and Dad are doing great, too.  A little tired... but that's one of the many joys of parenting!  I am slowly finding time to return to my scrap room in between feeding, changing diapers, and napping.  I didn't do much scrapping over the summer as I somehow lost my creative mojo during my pregnancy.  I created a few projects here and there when I had a need for them, but I am more than ready to make up for the lack of creative energy now.  My scrap mojo is back!

Hope you are all enjoying the final days of summer.  I can't believe it's almost over already!  I look forward to catching up with you soon.

Until next time, Cricuteers!
