She did it. At around 5:00am this morning she was talking, whining, half crying in her crib. I asked Jacob if I should ignore her. He said go check. So when I walked in her room, she had her head facing outward and was on her belly. Yes that means she rolled over.
It was a hot day here yesterday and so wasn't our house, 77 degrees inside, so we put her to bed in just PJ's since she normally sleeps in a fleece sleep sack. I don't know if that made it so her legs were more free or if it were just that time.
She is back to sleep now but you know what she will have the pressure to be doing once we all are up for the day. Showing mommy & daddy how she can roll over. :^)
Look below as I posted last night too..

Crazy week.....
Jacob is completely sucked into a huge project at work which is draining a little on him. My work wasnt much better this week. But the good things are I had yoga, night out with the girls to the theatre, UJ was in town again so we had dinner with him. We will have Alana and her boyfriend in next weekend.
Emmi is now going to bed around 7:30-8:30pm and sleeping until 6:30-7:30am. We love her. I am working more on getting into a better schedule for her. Naps were a challenge the past few weeks but I think I was missing my window of opportunity.
She has a high pitch scream that she makes when she is happy. She also has started to giggle. She likes to pet her brother, and will grab at his fur. Definitely stares at him whenever he is around. When I feed her she also has this flailing arm. The free arm is constantly up and down which is pretty strong as she will hit me or herself. We also have been going on family walks many nights during the week.

Here she is with Mickey, she is getting so big. Cant keep those hands still for the picture.
She is ready for her walk in the hat and sweater that Memere made for her.
Here she is with Grandpa on his quick trip last weekend.

Dr Visit- 4 month check-up
Emmi's stats are: 15lbs 6 1/4 ounce, 24 1/2 inches & head circumference 42 cm's. Compared to last time she didn't grow in inches but I think they messed up at the last visit since the doctor had remeasured her head at that visit....
The doctor gave her a good bill of health. We still didn't vaccinate. I just didn't feel comfortable as there has been a new case where a girl in GA's autism was linked to vaccines and an underlying health issue. Jacob and I have talked our new strategy through so we are going to revise our original plan slightly and also go to a new doctors office.
We were told that Emmi can start on solid foods. Although I may hold off a little longer as I don't think I am quite ready for all that. I have to go out and get the "Super Baby Food" book by Ruth Yaron, a mini food processor, and some ice cube trays so we can start as we intend to make her food. Plus she isn't quite able to sit up in her high chair. Nor do I want my little baby to grow up so fast. :^)
Time is flying by as it has been just about a year since we started this blogging adventure and spreading the news of our pregnancy.

Misc Pics
Easter came early for Emmi. She got a new toy. We weren't going to get her one of these but then we decided that since she had fun in Tyler's that if we could get one used we would go for it. Sure enough there was a huge consignment sale at a local church and this is what I found...
I came to realize my baby has been missing out.. Instead of giving her baths we had found it so much easier to shower her while we took showers. This weekend we decided to break out the tub again. We filled it up and he she is....
Here is what Emmi and Daddy do when I am out riding my bike. As you can see in the reflection Daddy is up to no good.

The Mommy update
I feel like I am falling apart... my wrist hurts, my back gets sore, my milk was down, had a cold/allergies, sigh..........
Slowly things are improving, cold/allergies gone, milk up, and today I went to the doctor to find out I have tendinitis in my wrist. The doc says that obviously carrying Punkin around probably is what caused it. I have a brace on my left arm and just have to take Advil for the next two weeks. I do have my physical in a few weeks so we will follow up then. Another good thing about going is they weighed me and I have only 5lbs left to be at my pre-baby weight, of course I have to note that was with shoes on, keys in my pocket & cellphone.. :^)

What we have been up to...
Emmi is now 15 weeks old. She is so close to rolling over. It will just be a matter of time. She likes to chew on my hands and definitely is drewling everywhere. She has a little bit of a stuffy nose, not sure if it is a cold or allergies since I am suffering from the same. But she is still sleeping well and is happy. She has also started to scream in happiness. Definitely cute.
This past weekend Jacob and I went to see Stomp. Great show and highly recommend it. Arleigh and Jeannie came over to watch Emmi. This time Arleigh was in charge since Jeannie was having a hard time getting around due to her workout with the personal trainer. Emmi was over tired when we left and was crying while in her swing. Sure enough when I called to check in before we went into the show she was sleeping. Then Sunday Emmi and I went to check out the trail that Jacob has been hard at work on in Huntersville since it was a Dirt Divas day. We ended the weekend with a 1 year old birthday party. It was Emmi's play mate at baby-camp.
We are on the start of a visitor spree, UJ is in town today for business which means dinner at my bros. Then on the 20th Grandpa comes to town for a quick stop. Then in April Emmi's Godmother will be here for the weekend. Yeah we love visitors, so come on down.
Here are some pics:
This is us sitting at the computer.
