It's been quite a day!

just a sweet pic from yesterday in her rain coat
Don't you love where her name is...her BeBe gave these jeans to her and they are so cute!

Today has been a LONG day! It started around 1:30 this morning when I awoke with a sharp pain in my stomach. I took a pepto bismol...no relief! I could not get comfortable so I woke up blake whining about my pain! Finally I called my sweet dad b/c I was worried it could be my gall bladder. He told me to take a hydrocodone and see if it relieved the pain. Don't worry I had one from after EK was born...I don't keep random stashes of drugs. Anyway... I waited the 20-30 minutes it needed to work and still no relief! We called Jason to come over at 2 in the morning and sleep at our house while we went to the E.R. What a sweet little brother I have! Thankfully things went smooth in the E.R. and I didn't try and pull out my IV or yell at the nurses (long story about my last E.R. visit). They found I do have a gall stone and WOW morphine really works! I felt so much better after that! Anyway...I have to get my gall bladder out in the next couple of weeks which will be no fun, but it's not a huge surgery! My mom, aunt, and both maternal grandparents have had to have their gall bladder removed so I knew I was a ticking time bomb!
Well...we make it home and get a few hours of sleep before Emery Kate wakes up wheezing and coughing and breathing really fast. A few hours later we are at her doctor's office getting back to back breathing treatments and coming home with nebulized xopenex every 4 hours. It's going to be a long night waking her up for treatments when Blake and I are worn out ourselves!
Thankfully the day ended with something exciting...Baylor beat texas! WOO HOO!!! It was a great game that went into OT. We are very excited at the Marable household! Hoping for a calm Sunday tomorrow....

Nine Months

Emery Kate is 9 months old today! Crazy! I was thinking of 9 of my favorite things!
There are so many more...but here are some!
9. The innumerable rolls in her thighs. Blake says you could hide a penny in one of them and I think he may be right

8. How she goes to sleep for naps and bedtime without a peep almost every time!
7. How she still has almost no hair and almost daily people say how cute HE is! She smiles anyway :)
6. How she loves watching Jayden (her cousin) play! I think she thinks he is the coolest person on earth right now!


5. Our daily quiet times when she watches Praise Baby and I get to drink coffee, pray and do my Bible study. It's such a sweet time.
4. How baths instantly calm her. She can spend hours in there!

3. How she smiles whenever she sees me or Blake. I love that gummy smile!

2. Her laugh...it is the greatest thing. You might mistake it for a 40 year old man's laugh b/c it is so deep!
1. I love that I am going to keep falling more in love with her!
Thank you God for this precious child!

such a big girl

Emery Kate is growing up so fast! Now she always wants to be standing...which is so cute but sad b/c it means she is really growing up! She loves this musical table we got her for Christmas b/c she can stand up and play with it. I love this little girl, but I better get back to studying for my boards! Pray for me on Tuesday when I take them!
