Cute Emerald Quotes (July 17th-25th)

It's been a week, and I have been neglecting the blog horribly again, but I haven't had much to say. We had Grannymom's birthday dinner a few nights ago; Emerald didn't have any accidents the whole time we were there, which was awesome. We have two doctors appointments tomorrow--one with Dr. Hales for me to figure out exactly when we are having this kid, plus to set up the Non-Stress Tests for the rest of the pregnancy; the other is with Dr. Stripling to go over all the results from the specialists and everything and kind of figure out what we need to do next, where we need to go from here. I am hoping I can get Emerald in too, because I have concerns that she has an infection.

So anyways, not a whole whole lot going on. I will write more about the dinner and the appointments and everything later on, but for now, it is that time of the week again--cute Emerald quotes!!

• Aunt Ammer loves me; she made me a plate. See da hearts?
• -singing- "Gotta wrap it up, tie up, tangle up for Jesus..." -talking now- Gabriel, lay still--you a present for Jesus!" (Upon further investigation, she was attempting to swaddle/gift-wrap Gabe who had the misfortune to be laying on the ground when she found him)
• Emerald was singing to her tummy again, talking to the 'baby', when she becomes pensive. After some thought, she announces, "Mama, I don't think we having a baby. We just fat." (She's sick of waiting for her new brother to get here!)
• As far as Michael and I can understand here, the fruits of the spirit according to Emerald are: Lub, Joyce, Peas, Patience, Time for baby Benjamin, Gentlemen, and one for Trolls!
• I was wearing a big baggy black t-shirt one day because it is more comfortable than my regular clothes. When Emerald saw me, she says "Oh, good morning, Daddy. You sleep good?" (I guess I looked more like Michael than I did myself and she couldn't tell the difference!)
• Out of nowhere, quite indignantly, and for reasons completely unknown: "Mama, thank you not pooping in my panties; I can do it by myself!"
• She must love names as much as I do--she has been renaming things all week. So far, Grandpop has been redubbed "Max" and "Peach" this week.
• "My daddy is a movie star! He eats and drinks and he plays Cap'n America!" (What does Mommy do?) "I don't know, what does Mommy do? -contemplates- I know, Mommy makes pizza!"

Not everything she has done this week has been cute--I smelled something unpleasant in the back half of our house and went on a cleaning frenzy trying to eradicate the stench. Turns out that all those confusing times where Emerald has pooped but we don't see any feces anywhere, she has been pooping in the trashcan beside the potty. =P

That's the mini-update for this week!
