Emme had her 4 month appointment yesterday with Dr. Audrey. She weighed in at 12lbs 13oz. (25th percentile) and was 25in long (90th percentile). Long and lean! Em checked out perfectly and was a brave girl with her shots. The doctor quizzed us on all of the "milestones" and Emme passed them with flying colors. How truly grateful we are to have a happy, healthy little girl.
We received VERY exciting news on the Pigg/Akins front. Molly and Lee announced to us that they are expecting a baby girl in December! YES, another girl for the family. Nan puts it best when she says that we "specialize in little girls". We don't need no stinkin' boys. Actually, Ruben really would love a little mini-Rube. Only time will tell. I was secretly hoping that Molly would have a girl, because I just know that she and Emme are going to be the best of friends. We have so many wonderful experiences ahead of us.
This weekend is the 4th of July. We plan on going to Granbury to celebrate with the Dorsey's and Faye and Tracy. Not to get overly political, but I wish the current administration would step back from their agenda for a moment and remember the history behind Independence Day, and what that exactly means for our country. America and its founding fathers had finally untethered from the dictatorial rule of England. We became a free country. Free! Why does it seem that everyday our freedoms are getting taken away and replaced by government rule? We don't want to go back to the time prior to July 4th, 1776. We want our government that was established "for the people and by the people". We do not want our government to RUN the people. Times are changing, and it scares me for our daughter and all of the future generations. I am praying that the conservative movement, the one that does not pander and bow down to the PC crowd and the "One", will gain strength and reunite to save and protect the America we once knew. Our government should provide life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Our government should not run banks, auto companies, and insurance companies, nor should it tell us what we can earn, who our doctor should be and whether or not we deserve treatment. Wake up, America!
