What's the latest in the Emery household? Well, baby #2 is another girl! Matt will have his hands full with all girls including Hershey! We are very excited for Riley to have a baby sister. She is getting the concept of "baby in my tummy" and now points at other womens in public and says baby in tummy too. Very cute. She keeps saying boy though despite us many times saying its a girl. I have had two separate sonograms and have confirmed that it is in fact a girl.
To get Riley ready for school she got her first haircut! Her hair was getting pretty long so we just trimmed it up so she would stop putting it in her mouth. She did really well; no issues at all.
Riley started pre-school at Gillispie and we are so happy for her! She was so excited to show off her new backpack and see the class again. She only goes twice a week for 4 hours but she is loving it. The school is amazing and we are so fortunate to be able to have her go there.
She is expressing her independence lately, though. I guess that comes with the terrible two's. She may favor Matt in temperament, but every once in a while a bit of Katie comes out! But we take all the good with a little bad once in a while in stride. She rarely brings out the "Katie" side and who am I to really judge, right? I basically had the terrible two's for 6 years (just ask my mom...or better yet...don't...you may change your opinion of me afterward)!
Cathy came to visit last week which was super fun! She got a lot of Riley time and both had a blast finger painting and coloring.
We also got the sitters lined up and went out for some adult time where we showed Cathy how San Diego loves their micro brews. Plus we caught a Padres game (only stayed for 3 innings) for a bit which was fun as well. We also went to the San Diego Zoo and Riley loved it. She really wanted to see the hippos for some reason. It's amazing how close you can get to the animals there.
I'm currently 20 weeks along and things are going very smoothly. This pregnancy has been a bit easier and most of the time I'm not feeling pregnant until I look in a mirror and see the bump. We can't wait to meet our new baby girl and I can't wait to see Riley in her new role as big sister. So fun!
