Emily's First Date?

Friday night Emily went on her first date, with a younger man nonetheless. Elijah Creed Harris (above), son of Ben and Wendy Harris, is only 19, while Emily is almost 21...weeks that is. I guess you could call it a blind date, since they didn't even see each other at dinner, which was at the locally renowned Cafe Avanti in Pell City. Emily had the lasagna and Eli had pizza; Amy and Wendy had the same. I can hardly wait for Emily to be born, but I am not looking forward to her first real date. I'm sure Papa and PawPaw can attest. I hope the years in between won't go by too fast, but I hear that they always do. Maybe if I'm always mindful of that, I'll appreciate her even more.

Check out the radiant mothers-to-be! Who knew that when they taught together at Eastside Elementary only 3 years ago that they'd be pregnant together, and even be due the same month! Congratulations to Ben and Wendy!!

Emily Has Bedding

Pink Dragonfly baby bedding from Beyond Bedding is on its way. After an exhausting 2-week search for baby bedding, Amy discovered this online store in Sunshine, FL. They use Ebay to auction their products, and offer very good prices compared to the competition. Big Thanks to Papa and Granna Whitt for picking up the tab!!

Hello World...

Baby Girl (Emily??) Prickett would like to say hello in the only way she knows how. In this first sonogram image at 18 weeks and 2 days, she weighs approximately 9 oz. and is about 6 inches long. She is in perfect health and is due on January 11th, 2007. We are already in love with her! She's already got us making plans to trade the truck for a more baby-friendly car or SUV. Also, the search continues for baby bedding (not my area) - then comes paint and new carpet. I can't wait to hold her in my arms!! In the meantime I will be brushing up on my wrestling technique so that I'll be prepared to defend myself against any potentially desperate grandparents :)
