One Month Checkup

May 7th was our one month check-up and we are growing like a weed.

Kelsey is now 9 pounds exactly. She gained 2 pounds in one month.

Our 1st Bath

The 1st bath was very tramatic...


Then we took a long nap.

Papaw's 91st Birthday

4 Generations together: Pops, Mommy, Kelsey Ruth, and Great-Grandpa






We all had a wonderful time visiting at Birt and Ann's house. Then we all went out to lunch and met John at Taste of Texas in Houston.

Kelsey's 2 week birthday

Our 1st day at church

Hanging out with daddy


It has been a really fast 2 weeks. On Wednesday we are going to Houston to visit Kelsey's great-grandparents for Birt's 91st birthday.

We had a lot of 1sts this past week... Our first church Sunday, our 1st bath - which was highly successful, but a little painful for me since Kelsey didn't seem to enjoy it at all. We have both been feeling really good - we go for a walk every day in the neighborhood, sometimes just to the mailbox, other times for a couple of miles.

We appreciate all the wonderful well wishers who have called or have been able to stop by and see us. She is changing everyday and we will keep the pictures coming.

First Day at Home

Rob and I went in on Monday and we were checked in our room at 7am and had Kelsey before noon. Kelsey and I got home yesterday after 2 days at the hospital.
Here are some pictures of our first 2 days at home

Coming down to the Wire

The last week of pregnancy I have discovered is the hardest week of all. All Rob and I want to do is meet our daughter and she is really not that interested in coming out. She is apparently very comfy in the belly and still has plenty of room to move about.

I am still working and will be until delivery day - but I wouldn't mind having her any day now. We had a huge project at work that is tomorrow, so after that - any time would be great.

The nursery is finally done. The cradle room is done. Everything is cleaned and vacuumed and well...ready for the arrival of BGB.
