2 weeks!

I cannot believe my baby girl is 2 weeks old now!  She just gets cuter and cuter everyday.  I took her in for her 2 week well-baby check-up and she is growing fast!  She is now 8 lbs 5 oz and is 21 1/2 in long.  She grew 2 1/2 inches in 2 weeks!!!  Doctor predicts she is going to be tall.  She has the biggest feet to grow into and she passed up Memphis who was only 19 1/2 in. at his two week appt.

I am so so grateful for my in-laws and my parents for coming and staying with me these past two weeks!  I would not have survived without them!!!  I got more sleep and help with Memphis which made life easier to get through each day.  Now my help is gone and I am surviving on my own with two kids.  Kayzee is sleeping longer stretches (3-4 hours in between feedings instead of 2 hours) at night and Memphis is learning to be gentle with his baby sister.  We are all doing well and love our newest addition to our little family.

It was picture day at my school and each teacher gets a free package so I dressed up my kids and we got our pictures taken.  I was all smiles:)  Memphis was scared of the chicken the photographer kept throwing around so he kept screaming.  I had to hold him on my lap so the photographer is going to crop me out of the one picture we could get of him smiling.  Kayzee cried for a little bit but them opened her eyes for some of the shots so we will see how her picture turns out.  What an adventure!  I got them home and took some photos of my own so I could share them.  ENJOY!!!  There are also some pictures of the last two weeks at home with our new baby Kayzee.

Done!

Baby Kayzee has arrived!!!

Our sweet baby girl has finally arrived.  I was going to be induced on Tue Sept 7 but she decided to come on her own and very quickly Sat night.  Danny and I were playing a card game when contractions started at around 7pm.  I waited the hour timing them and they were about 4 minutes apart so Danny packed my bag and we called our friends to watch Memphis and headed for the hospital.  We were admitted and I got an epidural.  My water broke right after and the doctor arrived to check on my progress and she was already coming!  I only had to push about 8 times and she was out at 10:01pm.  Too bad my epidural didn't work this time:(  Oh well.  I am glad it was over quickly!  Here are her arrival stats!

FEARLESS!

So my little MEMPHIS has discovered new ways to SCARE me.  It all started with him finding out he could JUMP off the couch and now he is trying to find ways to get HIGHER and jump FARTHER.  He is a THRILL SEEKER like his daddy!!!  His newest ADVENTURE was DISCOVERING that the couch had BOUNCY springs under the cushion.  He pushes all the cushions off, uses a toy to climb up onto the arm of the couch and jumps down and bounces on the springs like a TRAMPOLINE.  I tried recording his new escapade on our camera but our front room is too dark so I just took a bunch of pictures.  ENJOY!  I am going to have my hands full with our baby girl arriving soon.  BEING INDUCED on TUESDAY!!!
