    She is adorable! Just a precious little girl! I love the look on your hubby's face when he's giving her a bath. So special.

    It was great to see you all on Sunday night! I think Holly is excited she has relatives at Oak Mountain. ;) By the way, your Emily is precious!
    by bzyabsma at 10/14/08 1:16PM

She's here and she's 3 weeks old now. These are pictures of when she first arrived. We are proud of her.

Stats: Her name is Emily Marie Dixon. She weighed 7.8 when born and was 19 3/4 inches long. She was born on 3/18/08. We love her. She is nearly perfect. She has the longest toes I've ever seen... they are funny.

Oh... for those who asked, the sign came from my neighbor. She was pregnant in December and bought everyone she knew one. I think it came from a website called Mytinyhands.com. It really is a good thing to have. They have them in all different colors.

  • bzyabsma
    Aw, you look great! I enjoyed being pregnant, all 5 times! I do have some fat to show for it, still, but I am working on it (again...). You will probably have no problems, I'm sure you were in tons better shape pre-pregnancy than I ever was! Hope you are still doing well, you look like you feel good, from the picture!

Thanksgiving

There is a lot to be thankful for.
1. God
2. America and the freedom that comes with living here.
3. My Little Baby girl that I can't wait to meet.
4. My Husband, who is so wonderful.
5. Family and Friends.
6. I could go on forever, but those come to the top of my head.
