Well this weekend was not exactly what we had planned. Martin ended up coming down with a really nasty cold sometime between Friday and Saturday, complete with a mild fever. And Emma developed her first (and rather nasty as well) diaper rash, so she fussed a lot without much relief. We were hoping to make it to church with her for the first time on Sunday, but with the circumstances as they were that was pretty much impossible.
Despite the rough few days we are doing much better. Martin's paternity leave is up, and so he is back to work today, but feeling better. Even though Emma had a rough few days, she continued to sleep well, especially last night - which is probably the only way I was able to make it taking care of a newborn and a sick husband! We had visits from my mom and dad and Martin's mom yesterday, and they made us dinner.
Today me, Mom, and Emma went to Walmart! We braved the 20 degree temperatures and got Emma all set in the car right after she ate this morning. We were able to have almost 2 hours out, and she slept peacefully the whole time! She was so good that we stayed at Walmart for lunch at the McDonalds. What a sweet little munchkin we have!

Hahaha it's so telling that a newborn's first trip around here is to Walmart. :-P Glad everyone's feeling better and Emma was behaving, though. Say hi to your mom for me.
So glad to hear everyone's feeling better. And it's neat to see how much you are enjoying Emma.
