Saturday Catch Up

It was a big week for Miss Kaylee. She felt a lot better and her breathing improved over the course of a couple of days. She went with us to my doctor appointment Wednesday afternoon and then to run a couple of errands. She had her first shopping trip to Target and a stop at Buffalo Wild Wings so mom and dad could have lunch. She was a gem and actually slept through the entire trip.




The weather was great on that afternoon so we made our first trek around the block in her new stroller. While Abbey loved the afternoon sun, Kaylee did what she does best these days...sleep!



Thursday was pretty crappy out, so we all stayed home and worked on unpacking some remaining boxes scattered around the house.

Another big day on Friday...lunch with on of Ron's coworkers, then more errands. It's a good thing our little girl likes to ride in the car!

Sure Sign

In the past two weeks we've learned a lot about our little girl. And even though she's changing every day, there is one thing we can count on for now. She has a facial expression that can only mean one thing-

- this pursed-lip grin means a poopy diaper is heading your way. So cute, but oh so devious!

Just like mom did

It seems like Kaylee has a little bit of mom in her too. A favorite story my parents like to tell is that when I was a baby, I like to sleep with my feet in the air. Well, Kaylee stretches her feet constantly. Its no surprise to us to hear her cooing and look over in the direction of the pack-n-play and see a little foot waving to us.

The other night, I was able to get some photos while Kaylee was chilling on dad's lap. You just can't help but smile...

Two Weeks

Another week has flown by and my how our little girl is changing. Most noticeable (other than generally getting bigger) is her legs.

Here is Kaylee at the hospital (1 day old). Her little breech legs out to the side.


Now, at 2 weeks, they're slowly coming down. We actually got a sleeper on her comfortably today. Other good news - her weight is up to 6 lbs 15 oz. She's a growing girl for sure!

Unfortunately we had to make the trip to the doctor to check out some nasally-breathing issues. It looks like Kaylee has her first respiratory infection. Dr. P isn't concerned and recommends to continue using the nose drops, adding in a little vaporizer, and sleeping in a more upright position. Her temperature was good, her lungs sounded fine, so now we just need a little time for it to run its course.

A little bit of my father in me

Someone likes to sleep just like her daddy...


In other news...the doctor visit went well yesterday. Kaylee is up to 6 lbs 8 oz. Since there was an improvement from our visit on Tuesday, we don't have to worry about any special formula. As long as she continues to gain weight, the doctor is happy!
