1st Week

oh, how time flies! kylie is 1 week old today. maybe we shouldn't say it, but it has not been too difficult a transition. i admit, charity is taking on the night duties and usually only wakes me for one diaper change...i can deal with that. and since i took two weeks off from the 4am shifts, i'm getting more sleep than ever. i try to take on more daytime duties so she can get some rest. kylie has been sleeping really well at night, though. there was one night where she woke up every 2 hours, but other than that, she's been sleeping for 3 or 4 hours at a time. she definitely does not like to get cold for a diaper change, but once she eats, she usually goes back to sleep pretty quickly. but boy, that girl can create tons of dirty diapers. we know she works, that's for sure. cayden has been really good with kylie. he still gets plenty of attention and doesn't seem to be jealous when we're holding her. he's pretty much past the cuddly stage so as long as someone is chasing him, taking him outside to play, or just engaging him in some kind of play activity, he's fine. he likes to cover her with a blanket in her swing, and as soon as she gets in the swing, he wants to give her a pacifier - he also has been caught putting it in his mouth a couple of times. he even asked to hold her for the first time a few nights ago. that was the cutest thing ever! he's really gentle (so far) and will give her a kiss and hug night, night. the only thing he doesn't like is when she cries. he doesn't seem to know what to make of it. he knows something is wrong but doesn't know what to do. he gets that shy look on his face and stays close to mommy and daddy. the two of them, too sweet for words. ok, time to chase cayden and feed kylie :)

Kylie comes home

we got to bring kylie home yesterday. i know it was only two days we were in the hospital but it seemed like two weeks. it gets pretty boring sitting in the hospital room for so long. thank goodness there was free wifi. it just takes so long to get discharged you have to wait for so many different people to show up. doctor comes in to check mom, doctor for baby, someone for birth certificate, nurse to make sure tags on baby, mom, and dad match it's a pretty big ordeal. finally about 2pm we were on our way home. cayden was pretty excited to have us home. he has been good with kylie even saying her name finally, minus the k but replacing with a t good enough though.

Kylie Rheya

kylie rheya is here!!! charity was induced tues. morning around 1045am which is better than the original time of 600am. the hospital called us at 500am to let us know there were no beds available so we could hold off. anyway kylie was born at 300pm 7lbs. 11oz. 21in. the first few weeks should be fun getting adjusted to two little ones in the house although cayden feels he can do everything himself these days.
