So although Emily is extremely shy with strangers initially, she really loves having her picture taken. Today she insisted on posing with her doggy. Doggy is one of about 6 other animals she insists on sleeping with at night. Don't ever think you are going to get away with one not being in her bed because she will let it be known IMMEDIATELY what is missing and yell for it until you find it. She is become such a ham and her memory is incredible (she must get that from her mommy... except for when I am pregnant!). We got an official time for our c-section yesterday so hormonal me starts thinking about the day before the big day and when we tuck her in for that very last night of being our only child. It gets me so upset!!! I know I have mentioned this before but I get so upset when I think how much this is going to change her world. Three babies at one time!!! I just pray that she won't remember this crazy time that is about to occur and that she will still love me even though she won't be my one and only anymore. I know a year or so from now all of my kids will have so much fun together and will have a lifelong friend in each other. It's just hard for my mind to get past this initial shock that she is going to endure. I know I need to get passed this but the closer the "arrival" gets the more anxious I am for Emily. I get teary-eyed every night now as I am tucking her in while we sing "You are my Sunshine" together. I will never forget these times......HORMONES!!! Gotta love them...
Here are more pics from our quick photo shoot from today.

Well, I've now cried for the first time while reading this blog. I knew it would happen eventually, but this post about Emily was almost too much for me.

I love you my darling daughter! It will be fine I promise. Your maw maw is smiling each time that precious voice sings.."You are my Sunshine..my only sunshine" If only she and mammy were here to see this time in your life..oh how they would love Emily and the triplets and oh how so very proud they would be of her mama and daddy!
I love you,
Mom
I think all us preggo mommies can relate to that fear..We are only adding one and my gosh every night I get a little teary eyed thinking Shay will no longer be the baby. Truth is they are very resilient little stinkers and She will find her place with an awesome mommy like you she will never feel left out. I know the beginning will be insanely hectic but it will all fall into place.
Love the pictures she is too cute, Shay has been really into setting up our photo sessions too aren't they funny!!
Ok-between you and your mom-I am crying now too!!! So sweet and please know that you are feeling everything you are supposed to be feeling right now. It is a big change for you all! Emily will be fine and you are so sweet to be so upset about it! You and Debbie stop making everyone cry!! ;)
Between you, Ben and your mom, I'm crying, too. Gotta love the preggo hormones, huh? I LOVE these pics of Emily - she is getting so grown up and so beautiful!!! You should be so proud of her. And don't worry - she'll be JUST FINE once the trips come along - she'll be the all important big sister who gets to tell everyone what to do! :-)

Emily is so beautiful!
Christy, there are no words to describe how your comments about Emily made me feel! You are such a great Mommy to little Em, and she will always, always know how much she is loved. I know that she will be just fine when the babies arrive. She will be a wonderful big sister and will be in charge of the whole house!!! You are giving her a wonderful big family that she will have all her life and just think how wonderful Christmas will be! Family dinners around Mammy's table will be just as Mammy always dreamed they would be, filled with good food, laughter and love.
You are truly a blessed, and you are such a blessing to all of us.
I love you,
Lori
