A Very HARD Goodbye...

Monday morning my dad arrived. Here are a few pictures of him meeting his baby daughter's baby! Dad thinks she looks like me when I was a baby!

Below are some more pictures from Monday that we took.

Beautiful Emma


On Tuesday, my mom and dad, Emma and I went to the Coralridge Mall to do some shopping. I still am not feeling the best, so we pretty much only hit Target to stock up on wipes and nursing pads and a few other things, and went to Motherhood to find me some nursing clothing. I have been wearing pretty much the same outfit since I didn't buy much before Emma was born.
Emma was very good on her first shopping trip and of course, she was fun to push in the stroller!


Then came the dreaded Wednesday morning, where I had to say goodbye to my mom. It was the hardest goodbye we have ever had to do! I hate the word 'goodbye', I would rather say 'see you soon' or something like that.
I am so thankful for ALL my mom's help and time she gave us! Words cannot express how much I appreciated her being here! She was able to stay with us for 2 1/2 weeks! I already miss her terribly and am ready for her to come back!
Below are some pictures before my mom and dad headed back to Nebraska.

*I thought it was kinda neat that Emma was born on 9/3 and she is my parents 9th grandchild and Shane's parents 3rd grandchild*
