Well, it's not going to be long and Emma will be here! We're getting close, and I'm starting to get really excited. I hadn't had a chance to really think about it lately with being so busy with Kolton's birthday, but it's starting to hit home.
I had an appointment with my csection doctor Wednesday to go over my paperwork and to get all the information about my csection. So here it is; Tuesday Nov 3rd I go in at 6am. They'll start my IV and do my blood work, make sure everything is good to go, and then the csection should start about 8am. Hoping everything goes great and smooth Emma will be here before 9am! How exciting huh?! This is all going according given she doesn't decide to come on her own. Which frankly, I think I'm going to carry her until then. So more than likely Emma's birthday will be Nov 3rd! That's a good day, I think!
From what the doctor's can tell she's doing good. Her heartbeat is always great when they check it, I just recently had my amniotic fluid checked and that was great, she's moving around lately... So everything seems great! I can't wait to meet that little girl! The newest addition to the Bragg Family! :) I promise to post pictures as soon as I can!

Happy birthday to my sweet baby boy!!!
Can we just say that time goes entirely too fast? I swear it was just yesterday I was bringing Kolton home. I wish time could just stand still for a few moments so I have a chance to soak it up. We've been so blessed with the most extraordinary boy in the world. I have no doubt that his sister will be anything but either. I never knew I could love something so much. I want to make that boy as happy as I ever can, if he only knew how many times he puts a smile on my face. It's only fair for me to return the favor. So yes, the first year went entirely too fast. I'm not sure I can handle every year going this fast! Next thing I know he'll be a 13 year old boy! Ah! Help me!
Anyhoo. Sunday we threw Kolton his first birthday party. We originally planned to have it in West Virginia with our family, but I couldn't make the drive. I didn't want to chance going into labor before Kolton's big day. I think we made the best decision too. We had the party at our house in Maryland and our friends from my husband's work and their families came to help us celebrate! I'm so thankful to have such great friends here! We had a great time, too. The kids busted a pinata (I had no idea how vicious kids can be over those things!), we ate tons of pizza, and Kolton got his first taste of sugar! At first he didn't want to have anything to do with it, but after we pretty much forced a bite in his mouth it was game on! So all in all Kolton's party was a great success and I'm so appreciative of all our friends who came!
This morning when we woke Kolton up we had his present from Mommy and Daddy for him. We got him a LeapFrog Musical Table, which I think he likes alot. He recently started this thing where he dances when he hears music so I think it was a good toy for him. We were going to get him a Mickey Mouse Power Quad, but we couldn't find it so we'll see if Santa will bring that to him for Christmas. Then we took him out for a birthday lunch to Red Robin. He had a yummy lunch of fries, grilled cheese, and some of Mommy's grilled chicken! After lunch we took him to Toys R Us. He had received some birthday money and we decided to let him pick out a toy. He picked out the infamous Corn Popper! Ha! Lucky us, huh? We picked up an ice cream sundae for him on the way home and after dinner we let him have some ice cream for the very first time. He liked it, but I'm not sure if my son is going to be into sweets that much. Which is perfectly fine with me! I hope he had a great day, and I know he wont remember this day at all but this birthday will be no different than the next birthdays he has. Every birthday is going to be special and a point to him will be made that we're happy he is here with us. We are truly bless with such a great child and there is not a day that goes by that Adam and I think about how lucky we are. Happy birthday our sweet baby boy!! Mommy and Daddy love you very much!!!

My little pumpkin at the Pumpkin Patch
We recently relandscaped our landscaping (okay, did that make sense?), anyway and I wanted to get some pumpkins for our front porch. We decided to take Kolton to the pumpkin patch and let him explore. He had a blast. He'd go from pumpkin to pumpkin pointing "Mom. Mom. Mom" (That week everything was Mom, this week everything is Dad) You can see him pointing at the pumpkins in some of the pictures in the collage. I must say it broke my heart a little watching my little boy walk around so carefree. He didn't need momma to hold him or anything. I put him down and he just went along his way. He's becoming less dependable on me... now if we can just have the diaper situation taken care of? ;)
Here's some pictures of our time at the pumpkin patch. We picked up a couple pumpkins for decorations and we're still deciding if we want to go back and get more to carve. We picked up 2 big pumpkins and 2 baby pumpkins, how cute huh? We also picked up some beautiful Mums for our flowerbeds!

Wrapped around her little finger already..
A couple weekends ago Adam, Kolton, and myself went to a local festival here. It's nothing big, but Adam and I went last year and they have the best apple dumplins so I insisted we go back this year. Besides having those yummy apple dumplins, it has a petting zoo, bands, and it has little stands of local vendors. One of the stands was two ladies selling homemade bows. I love me some bows, but all the ones I saw were for bigger girls so I decided not to get any. We were about half way through the vendors when Adam said "I'm going to go get Emma a bow" He had seen a bow that he wanted to get her while we were there and decided to go back and get it for her. I thought it was so sweet. If you know Adam he's the most macho guy when it comes to anything girly, so for him to make an effort to buy a bow for her is pretty sweet! :)
Here's the fabulous bow he picked out!

Catching up!
I feel so awful that I haven't updated my blog in ages. I have tons of pictures I'd like to share, but I always lose track of time and by the time I do realize what time it is -I'm heading to bed! I just wanted to play a quick catch up with you all and update you guys on how life is with our awesome little family.
Well, our awesome little family will be adding the new addition Nov 3 if Emma Paisley doesn't make an appearance by then. I have a scheduled c-section with the same doctor that performed Kolton's csection. I absolutely loved my csection doctor and I just had to schedule Emma's with the same doctor.
We're totally excited and pretty much ready for her to come. I'm just waiting on her diaper bag to come in the mail, and I have to pick up a few odds and ends and that's it! We have another 4D ultrasound scheduled Monday and I can't wait to see how much she has changed and who she looks like. Remember the first set we had from a couple months ago?
As for Kolton he's growing too fast. He turns one in less than a month, and I can't believe it. He's already walking and does so many things that shock me. He's keeping momma on her toes, that's for sure. I'm interested to see what his sister's personality is compared to his. I will not know what to do if she's calm. He just cut his 3rd and 4th tooth. Poor little guy is so limited on what he can and can not eat plus he's a picky eater so you can imagine the heck we play at meal time. We're still working on the sippy cup, but we've made the transition to milk. He's front facing in his car seat too. Like I said, he's such a big boy already!
We're getting ready for Halloween too, and I can not wait until everyone sees his cute costume. We're keeping it a surprise though. So you'll have to check back for pictures. :)
I promise I'm going to do better with this blog. I know alot of my friends and family back home are interested in it and read it to stay up to date. I'll do better, I promise! Just cut me some slack, October has been the busiest month of my life! Shew!
We're also officially finished with her room, so here's the final picture!
