Update on the Atkinson Family of 5!!

Hi All!!
Things are going really well. Emelyn has been a good sleeper and a good baby. She only wakes up once or twice a night which has been nice. The boys are still loving her up and we hope that never changes. She is starting to stay awake more and more during the day now, which has been nice. The boys love to talk to her.

The boys have been very busy already this summer. Nick played soccer, then both Nick and Evan are playing T-ball right now and after T-ball Nick will be back in soccer. They both seem to like T-ball, and Nick really likes soccer. I am working with Evan so that he is ready for preschool. We are practicing his writing, opposites, numbers, and beginning the reading process. He is doing great! We are working with Nick to make sure that he stays where he needs to be to start 1st grade in the fall. Can't believe he is in first already. He is for sure ready though and is right where he needs to be.

Jason has taken time off to spend it with the family, which has been fabulous!! We love having him home with us.

Well that is all for now. We will update again soon, but here are some recent pics. ENJOY!

Ps. The announcement should be coming in the mail soon. I hope. :(

Atkinson Five

Emelyn Faith is HERE!!!

A very happy mommy and her baby girl.

Very proud daddy

Emelyn Faith was born May 26th. 7lbs 9oz 20 inches long. Blue eyes and lots of dark brown hair.

I had a scheduled c-section for the 8th but I went into labor and they took her May 26th, which is Papa Predenkiewicz b-day too. She had to stay in the NICU for 7 days on antibiotics because they thought she may have an infection. She is doing great now. The boys love love her. Always ask to hold her. They love to call her Eme, which is so cute. The holding doesn't last long, they seem to get bored quickly. When she is crying they comfort her very well, and talk to her very sweet. Here are some pics of Miss Emelyn, the boys and a few family members with her. The only ones allowed to see her in the NICU were Jason and I, and the grandmas and grandpas due to the swine flu and all the illnesses going around.
