1 week checkup

Me & 2 day old Andy at the hospital last week.


Jamie & Andy, and me & Andy at the pediatrician's office this morning:


This morning we took Andy for his one week well visit at the pediatrician. We're taking him to the same doctor Kaylee sees; we love her!! She has a very good manner with babies/children and tries to make them comfortable (as much as possible at the doctor!) during their visits. We also love her because she tells us our kids are perfect and awesome. Who cares if she says that to all the parents? It still sounds good. :-)

Andy weighed 8lb 7oz today - almost back up to his birth weight of 8lb 9oz. They like to see babies back at birth weight by 1-2 weeks, so he's right there! (He was about 7lb 13oz when we left the hospital.) He's eating very well, so I'm not surprised he's gained it back already. We take him back for a 1 month visit on 3/18; I'll be interested to see how much he grows in the meantime!

A friend crocheted this sock monkey hat for Andy; it's a little big, but I couldn't resist. And, as Kaylee says, "Relax! Take a load off!"


He likes sticking out his tongue! Thought the other two were just too cute.

Welcome, Andy!

Welcoming our newest miracle:

Eyes open! Then, pre-cry face. :-)


Kaylee is super excited to be a big sister and enjoyed holding and helping feed her baby brother!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Almost time!

Me & Andy at 39 weeks:


Yesterday I packed what I should need at the hospital, and I think I've now finished everything on my "to-do-before-Andy-arrives" list, so I guess I'm as ready as I'll be to go have this kid! Less than 2 days until he's here!

Couldn't resist

If Kaylee naps too late in the day, bedtime seems to come too early, so we usually wake her up by 4/4:15. This is what I found yesterday when I went in to get her. Couldn't resist taking a picture of my sleeping "baby."

38 weeks

Me & Andy at 38 weeks. 9 days until we get to meet him! More like 8 1/2, since it's late now and he'll be born early in the day... Guess I should probably get that hospital bag packed soon!
