Kylie Hope turns two weeks!

Kylie is already 2 weeks old!  She is doing really well. She  likes her hands and has discovered she likes to suck her thumb!  Her hands are usually up by her face, especially when she is sleeping or when she gets mad! She has just recently learned to grab onto my shirt when I burp her.  Her hair is still brown, with blond highlights on the edges.  Her eyes still appear to be blue, at least for right now.   She sleeps between 3-4 hours at night, which we think is pretty good! She loves to be talked to and appears to hang on our every word.  She has enjoyed getting to visit with her grandparents, aunts and uncles and lots of freinds.  She also met her friend Madeline Jade and they even had matching shirts!  We appreciate all the meals and gifts people have brought- thanks! Enjoy the pictures! 

Kylie meets her Great Grandparents

My parents bought my grandparents down to meet Kylie Hope last Friday.  She was wide-eyed and alert for their entire visit!  She seemed to be taking in all of her visitors and everyone talking to her.  It was so much fun to watch her meet her great grandparents for the first time.

A tribute to my Grandma Dann

I wanted to write a small tribute to my  Grandma Dann.  She passed away peacefully in her sleep exactly a week before Kylie Hope was born.  There has not been a day that goes by that I have not thought about her since her passing.  We believe that Grandma put a "request" in to get Kylie here a little early so all would know that she was at peace and watching over our little angel.  Grandma lived a full almost 94 years of life.  She was gentle hearted and kind to everyone.  We would be proud if Kylie took after her great grandma.  Thanks for a life time of memories.

Just a few more pics

  We are enjoying passing our time by taking lots of pictures of Kylie.  We thought we would share a few just to update everyone.  She is eating and sleeping pretty well.  She prefers to be held and we of course don't mind!  How can we say no to this sweet girl? Enjoy the pics!

Bringing Kylie Home!

We are home with Kylie Hope! Our hospital stay was nice but we were so excited to get her home. We appreciated all the visitors who came to see us- we loved showing her off! When we got home Bailey gave her a nice welcome home sniff and kiss and since then has stayed close to Jeff and I and pretty much ignored Kylie! We took her for her first doctor visit today (Tuesday) to see Dr. Mack. She checked out great. Her weight had dropped to 6 lbs, 11 oz in the hospital but today was up to 6 lbs, 12 oz. He said she looked great! The days are already passing quickly as we find ourselves just holding her and watching her in amazement. She is such a miracle to us!

KYLIE IS HERE!!!!

Kylie Hope is here! She is beautiful. She was born via C-section at 9:00 this morning. She weighed 7 lbs 6 oz and is 19 1/2 inches long. Emmi and Jeff are ecstatic! Enjoy the pictures.

Finally an update!

I am such a terrible blogger but I promise to get better when she arrives! Luckily my friend Kristin helps me out. So here is the latest. I am on my home stretch and I can't beleive how fast the time has gone. My doctor has decided to do a C-section on October 21st because the baby is still in a breech position. She is estimated at 7 lbs, 3 oz as of yesterday (10/1/08). I will have an ultrasound and stress test each week until she arrives. Below are some pictures from my last ultrasound. We finally got a glimpse of her face in a profile view. Her leg is up against her face. Hopefully you can see it! Yes, those are her plump little cheeks that I can't wait to kiss and squeeze!
