This past weekend we packed up the car and headed for Spokane! We had many things on the agenda; family reunions, hiking, sight seeing and general fun. We accomplished them all. Kaylene continues to experince new things like a nature walk and we also had fun relaxing at the hotel.
Yes, we are all looking forward to the baby dedication this weekend. It will be a blast showing Kaylene off to friends and family and we are especially looking forward to Kayke’s meeting her Auntie M. (and possibly Uncle Zach, fingers crossed).
Well a new corner was taken today, Kaylene has graduated to a bottle (give that boob a rest).
Sorry, I lead people to believe that the shot below was taken before church. Actually these shots were taken while we waited for the doctor. She got an excellent clean bill of health, she is on the way to becoming the perfect baby – everybody loves the squishy face.
Now as most of you know I am not a big fan of sleep but lately even the few hours I use to get have been taken away by the “Gnome”. The Gnome is the endearing name I have given my daughter when she has become unruly and unreasonable. However, last night, we all slept. I don’t expect it to last long but it was nice to have it. I can’t believe it has already been 12 days (Mom and Todd you are both so right –> it is happening fast).
I wish I could say that Kaylene enjoyed her first bath at home - but she really didn't. Anyway, she is clean, warm and safe now. Check out the chin quiver this kid has some lungs. Well Martha this is something to look forward too.
That was the beginning of my Friday July the 3rd. Kaylene was coming and she was coming fast, from water breaking and actual birth she arrived in under ten hours. They told us it was a textbook birth, and really, it was. Both mother and baby are fine and we are now relaxing at home, everybody is a little tired. Okay, I need to get back to poking, kissing and squeezing.
Kaylene’s room is complete and we eagerly await her arrival. Kaylene proceeds to get larger within Jolene and has caused quite a few sleepless nights for the both of us. This 3rd trimester is not so easy.Been awhile for an update much less a video update, so I think its time! So baby Kaylene should be here soon and we are both very excited. According to Jolene she feels like the baby has "dropped" meaning Kaylene is moving her way down, could be weeks or days now. Anyway enjoy the video (taken from this Tuesdays hike with Dad and friends) and expect a few more updates to come.
Yeah, it’s been a busy week – which is a good thing. Started the week with a hike with Dad and ended with the traditional return of the Yearly Lucky Snake! However the best part was the creation of my first turkey pot pie. Yes indeed, I made my own crust. My next attempt will be apple pie!
