Bored??? Nah...entertained!!

What in the world do I do at home all day long, you may ask? Simple...I get up at 10 (you have to understand that I'm constantly waking up during the night), I feed and tend to all of Kaylee's needs, check my email, facebook, myspace and my blog, and by this time, Kaylee needs to be fed and changed again! Well anyways, today, I thought I would try out the photo booth on the iMac since Kaylee was in my arms and awake, came up with some pretty good ones, check them out! I better get going now though, my hand on Kaylee's bottom has suddenly become warm after some crazy rumbling noises! Time for another diaper change!!! Maybe I should really consider cloth diapers!

First Sunday

I want to start by saying that Thanks to God, Abner is feeling much better!! Thanks for all who prayed in his favor :) My big girl is growing up...last night she slept 5 hours without waking up to eat!! Finally after 5 hours I got up and woke her up myself, b/c I felt bad. I know, I know, I should have just let her sleep, but she's sooo tiny...she needs to eat!! I must say...she is becoming quite the chunky monkey! I'm pretty sure she's weighing in at about 7 pounds now...in just 3 weeks, that's amazing!! Praise God for that :) Two sundays ago was her first time to church, and I just have to post a picture, she looked so darn cute in her sunday dress.

She's brown!

Yesterday, Kaylee and I joined Abner in his dentist appointment, and I just have to share a comment from one of the assistants. Let me start by saying, she was a very, very, very nice girl, who is expecting her second baby in about 8 weeks. She began talking to us as if we were her best friend, she just couldn't get enough of Kaylee. Anyways, the first thing to come out of her mouth was..."she's soooo cute....she's brown!" LMBO...she of course, very quickly apologized and said, it's not a bad thing, my daughter's brown too (she was a caucasian gal). I, of course, didn't mind at all, that she said my baby was "brown," I personally thought it was actually pretty funny and couldn't stop laughing with her! Anyways, Kaylee seems to be doing better and sleeping better at nights, praise the Lord!! Abner took another day off from work today for being sick :( Poor guy...we have him "quarantined" from us so he doesn't get us sick. We miss him and want him to get better already, so please keep him in your prayers! Sorry, no picture today, I'm on abner's laptop, and there are no picutres on here to upload, maybe tomorrow!

Update

I must start this post by apologizing to all my faithful viewers for not updating as often. You see, the problem is not that I'm super, overwhelmingly busy with Kaylee, the truth of the matter is that my laptop crashed, and Abner has been working on recovering it. Yea, we have a brand new iMac, but Abner spends most of his free time on it and I hadn't yet figured out how to upload pictures to it. So, Abner's back at work, and now I know how to do pictures...so no excuses, right?!

Anyways, last friday we took Kaylee to her first check up, and she is doing just fabulous! She had already gained a pound, weighing 5lbs 6 oz. The Dr. was astonished and even had to weigh her twice to double check. Abner went back to work on Monday, so now it's just Mommy and Kaylee!! Which was going fabulous, until yesterday, something seems to be wrong, and I can't figure out what it is. I'm assuming it's colics, and so I'm trying to treat that with gas relief drops, sometimes it seems to work, and sometimes it doesnt....so I'm not sure. I think she's just liking to be carried b/c she fusses only when I put her down! She doesn't seem to be sleeping very well the last two nights, so it's been tough. Especially b/c Abner is coming down with something, so he is forbidden to be around her. I give props to all those single moms who do it alone! It sure is tough. I am constantly asking the Lord to give me patience and strength to keep going...sometimes I just break down and cry, but still, I can't complain. I would rather not sleep a day for the rest of my life and have her by my side, than not have her at all!
Well, I could make this a really long post, with so many updates, but it looks as if Kaylee is falling asleep, which means that's my cue to also lay down for a nap! I need to take advantage every chance I get, since I don't get much rest at night! Please continue to pray for the three of us and our health and for lots and lots and LOTS of patience and strength but most of all LOVE!

Announcing Kaylee Elise

As I mentioned earlier, we got a brand new iMac the day our Kaylee was born. Abner has been playing around on it since the second we got home from the hospital, b/c of this, I wanted to give hims his first "project" he could work on with this awesome new machine. I ever so kindly asked him if he would create Kaylee's announcement cards and he ever so kindly accepted. Well, he did such a great job I wanted to post them up for everybody to see!! Thanks hun for being so good at this stuff, love you! :)

In awe...

I am so overly blessed and full of joy to be holding my daughter in my hands as I one-hnadidly type this blog. I am running on about three hours of sleep but that doesn't matter to me...how can I sleep when I can sit here and stare at this amazing creation of God all day long.Words can truly not describe the excitement and flow of emotions that are flowing through us right now. I'm sure when teenager years begin to approach we will quickly forget this awesome feeling but for now we are embracing every waking moment and just trying to take it all in. We had our first outing yesterday at only 5 days old but I will have to post about it later b/c doody calls!! No really....diaper doody!! Ahhh...even a dirty diaper is so cute!!!! :)
