{pregnancy: the past few weeks}

This was week 25, 26- we are now into the 27th week which is awesome and scary all rolled into one!! I missed week 25 because we went down to Vegas for a LAX tournament (I will post some pics) and then last week I snapped this picture and yes, I realize I've totally become one of those people who take photos in the mirror- it's all to show off baby e though! We are officially at 6 months and although the next 3 months seem so far away- I bet our guy will be here before we know it!


Baby Emmett,
I think it's time for you to be introduced to these crazy people who will now be your parents (ah, I feel like we are still babies ourselves)!

Meet Mom & Dad:
We will pretty much be the coolest people you will know for the first 5 years of your life (well maybe the grandparents will trump us even then too). We are silly and love spending time together and I know you will have plenty of laying in bed, watching TV nights to come with us.


Meet Dad:
Emmett, you may never know how lucky you will be to have this guy for a daddy. He will teach you all sorts of important life lessons: how to be silly, basketball, D. Wade, teasing mommy, causing mischief, lacrosse, respect, loyalty, the gospel, priesthood, sports, causing mischief and of course all about Miami Heat.

Seriously though Emmett, I wanted to have your middle name be after this guy because he is my best friend and I think he's pretty awesome but maybe one day, you will honor this guy and name one of your children after him. If you turn out to be half the man your daddy is- I would be one proud mom.

Meet mom:
Mom has all sorts of hobbies and likes, the main one: shopping! She also likes food (not just a pregnancy thing), the puppies, taking pictures of the the puppies, daddy, dance, taking the puppies on walks, cuddling with the puppies, Survivor, crafting, listening to music and did we mention the puppies!? She will probably take 2327299473920183749 pictures of you and cherish every single one.

She can't wait to meet you and hold you and dress you up because hello! shopping is her fave!


Meet Jack:
This little puppy guy is the most cuddly, funny dog you'll ever meet. He is gentle but can be super hyper so I know you and him will get along in the next few years. He loves exploring every rock, bush and tree outside and will make a great friend to take on walks.

Meet Izzy:
Izzy will be your second little mama at home, she is very very gentle and well mannered. She loves balls and will love when you can throw them to her. She also loves treats-- so we will make sure that you get to give her some to get into her good graces. I know she will want to be by your side and protect you like her own and I look very forward to that sweetness.

These dogs will be your best friends and will love you as much as mommy and daddy!
There you have it! Our little but growing Walker family. We cannot wait to officially add you!

I think you left a few things out about the Mama. Emmett, your mama is passionate, in a way that reaches down to her core. She loves and loves hard. She takes care of your dad so well, and brings so much fun to the world. She has a sweetness about her that makes people feel comfortable, and always has a smile quick to come to her lips. She has a motherly way about her, that takes care of friends and family that need her.

She is super strong too! She is the only one who can keep your daddy in check! haha.

Can't wait to meet you little man!

YES! I have only been stalking your blog for a week or so waiting for new preggo pics and notes ;) Love your fam, and can't wait to welcome Emmett into the extended family too! You will totally be a part of the "I take a million pictures of my baby a day and cherish every single one" club. They grow so fast, you have to! She drools and it's like, "Call the grandparents, post on fb, our baby is amazing!" Hahaha. Love you guys, you will be excellent parents-already are!

Karissa, you have been the epitome of patience during a trying pregnancy. Emmett is lucky to have you and Pierce, as are we, to have you as his parents. You bring a loving blend of humor, pathos, comedy and dramedy. Keep on growing, in every way!
