The many faces of Emerson...

Emerson is just a tiny little peanut but she has so much personality (and has since being in utero). She was our uncooperative baby at every ultrasound. I had over 20 ultrasounds during this pregnancy and I think we only have 1 or 2 that sort of show her profile. At our anatomy scan they called in a doctor because they were concerned about her not having a nasal bone because she wouldn't give the tech an opportunity to see if it was there. Every-time the techs would try to get a measurement or a shot of her face she would flip over, put her hand in front of her face or hide. She did similar things during all of the monitoring sessions I had at the hospital on bedrest and really never quit moving. Eli was consistently in the exact same spot, but the nurses always had to go hunting to find out where she had moved to since the last session a few hours earlier. Now that she's here she continues to be a little feisty and is already so expressive and stubborn. Constantly pulling at her wires and feeding tubes. She's tiny but already so expressive and hilarious. The nurses always have stories of the things she has "demanded" from them... funny baby.
