That's a Real Baby!

Darren and I got to see our little baby this week! He/she is measuring 13 weeks and 1 day and everything looked healthy. This picture cracks me up because the baby looks like it's pouting because we woke it up.  We did though, the tech was pushing on my belly like I do when I'm trying to get into pair of jeans that are too small!  Baby Hawk wouldn't move! Enter the Kashi cereal bar.  I hadn't eaten in nearly 4 hours (the appointment was VERY long) so I ate my Kashi bar that I always keep in my purse for ultrasound emergencies. BOOM, baby Hawk was wiggling and sucking and even looked like he/she was sucking it's thumb! Yes, this is indeed my baby, I go nuts for food too!
I do think the profile looks like Darren though. Darren makes this cute pouty face when he's being funny.  So, the mystery is solved, this is Darren's baby. Whew, we were wondering. I'm totally kidding people!
This picture is sort of creepy to me but I must share my 3-D picture. It looks like the baby's sucking it's thumb which I find so cute! I sucked my fingers until I got chicken pox and my mother told me I would get chicken pox in my mouth if I didn't stop. I was 15, no actually I was 5 I think. If this baby is truly a thumb sucker I'm screwed because there's a vaccine for chicken pox now! So many high class problems these days.

This is me at the end of week 13. I know, I just look like I've eaten a lot of Krispy Kreme donuts but as evidenced from the pictures above, that profile is actually in there! As my cousin Erin said "Science is so cool". I have to add "God is pretty amazing too!"   Oh and I don't normally have straight hair but I went to get a cut this day and my hairdresser always straightens it.  She's awesome! If I ever win the lottery I am having her move in with me to do my hair and tell me dirty jokes.

    Or boy. I really want to 100% commit to being like, this is a girl! So, when it is a girl, we can tell her for her entire life how her Aunt Nicole just knew the whole time. But, if it is a boy, and he reads this one day, I will feel really bad. So, I am adding- Your Aunt Cole loves you, little boy!

    *Please be a girl, so I can be right. Thank you.*

    You look great, Emily! Baby bump, of course, but I have never seen your hair straight and it is super cute.

    I hope you don't mind if I follow your blog since we have actually only met a few times, but between Erin and the twins I feel like I know you much better than I really do.

    Congrats on the baby!!

    awwwww sweet baby! I am so excited for you both. Also, your hair looks really great straight (of course, it looks great curly, too). Also also, you look so good! pregnancy apparently agrees with you! I am going to side with nicole and say girl, too. I picture you as a "boy mom," which I also thought I was. Since I had a girl and it has been the best thing ever, I think you are having a girl, too!

    Congratulations to you and Darren.. I am so excited for everyone.. The baby is adorable. It does look like a little boy in the pictures. You look so good too. When I first saw the picture of you with straight hair, I was so shocked. I love your hair either way.. We love you. Pops and Noni

    Yay for baby hawk. I'm hoping that kashi bar was not contraband from a hotel in Atlanta. Mostly because that would make it really stale. And, please be a boy so I can be right. Thank you.

From Doer to Leader, 5 Tips to Make the Transition

You did it! You got the promotion and now manage a team. It doesn't matter if it's a team of 1 or 100 your skill set must shift from doer to leader. While many a doer get promoted, few take on the actual characteristics of a leader. Instead they stay in doer mode causing frustration, resentment and turnover in their organization. This is what I refer to as "death by doer." Killing all hope, creativity and productivity of a team. Don't become the grim reaper of your team. Instead adopt these simple behaviors to ignite passion in your group and share your doer gifts. Stop doing and starting teaching Why were you such a successful doer? Because you thought differently than your peers. It's time to share that thinking with your team. As a leader it's your job to teach your team how to think, not what to think. Many a leader get caught up in micromanaging tasks. They believe there is only one way to accomplish a task and it's theirs. This is the u...

LeaderSHIFT Academy

Each week I bring you a tip in the hopes that you not only enjoy the writing but you also implement positive change in your life. After months of planning I'm ready to take this a step further. Making the SHIFT It all started when I received my undergraduate degree and entered adulthood. I began to see something akin to an illness all around me. No matter how many promotions I received or how high I climbed the corporate ladder it was still there, in every level of management.  Even after receiving my MBA surrounded by some of the smartest people I've ever met, there it was, the plague.  What is this disease I refer to? The lack of sustainably* successful leadership.  I threw myself into biographies, podcasts and personal development books with the sole purpose of understanding what made a sustainably successful leader tick. Why were there so few? In July of this year everything fell into place. During a corporate event, Brendon Bruchard spoke ab...
