Emi's 7th Birthday

So, it's been a while since I've posted anything. And it's been a while since Emi's actual birthday, but here are a couple of pictures anyway, and a little background on Emi.
Emilee Grace Buck was born on February 23, 2002 at 4:34 a.m.. She was my first baby born by c-section. When I had gone to the doctor a few days before I had her she was head down and ready to go, but when I got to the hospital after my water broke she had flipped and was breech. She also had the cord wrapped around her neck twice and around her shoulder! So off to the OR. She wasn't breathing after she was born but started breathing about a minute later. Thankfully, I don't remember that. She weighed 6 lbs. 10 oz. and was 19 inches long (I think). She also had a little scrape on her bum from the c-section. The doctor accidentally got her bum when he was cutting her out. That is what she gets for trying to come bum first.
Emi has always been, how do we put it, a very unique girl. (Yeah, unique is the nicest way to put it) She always has something off the wall to say. Like when we were sitting in Oakies one day. We were just sitting there enjoying our lunch when she got a very solemn look on her face, looked around and said, " I will be sad when this place burns down!". Or when were up in Island Park at my mom and dad's new fifth wheel and she came out of the bathroom with an amazed expression and said, "They even have toilet paper!". When asked what she wanted to be when she grew up she said, "A real princess." What a funny girl. She is always good for a laugh. She is also very hard-headed and stubborn. She is a pain to get up for school in the morning. She is not a morning person. And she would prefer to stay in her pajamas all day. She is very loving and loves to snuggle and give hugs. Since I haven't been feeling well lately she asks me almost everyday how I am feeling and if I say not very good then she sees if there is anything she can do to make me feel better. She is really sweet that way. She always wants to make people feel better and tries to do what she thinks will help, even if it is only coloring them a picture. Life would be kinda boring without Emi in our family to make us laugh, cry, groan, yell, and pull our hair out! We love you Emilee!
