My Favorite Baby Gift

Those of you who know me know that I am a complete baby hog. I hate letting other people hold my baby. Lila is 2 weeks old and my Mom has held her 2 or 3 times and my Dad has held her once. Ryan pretty much only gets her when I'm in the shower, or when he puts me on a guilt trip for hogging her. I think it's because pregnancy is so hard for me that I feel like I deserve to hold her all I want after I worked so hard to get her here.

Anyway, with this in mind my mom got me this sling for Christmas. I have been so excited to use it, and this is the first time I put Lila in it. It is a hotsling (I'm sure those of you more computer literate than me would put the link to the website, but I don't know how to do that), and I am in love with it. Hopefully it'll keep people away from her and allow me to hold her all I want while taking care of my older kids.

Doesn't she look so comfy? She really liked it a lot. It is actually really comfortable to wear her this way. I think I will get a lot of use out of it.

Easter 2008

Not the best picture, but we'll take what we can get. We were going to be late for church if we kept trying.

Sunny was so excited to see her Easter presents at Mimi's. She grabbed everything up at once.

Matching dresses for the egg hunt.

Posing with her eggs.

Too busy to stop for a picture.

First Bath

Can you tell she hated it?


Feeling better. Nice and Clean and Dry.

Sweet Liley

This morning, right when Jackson woke up he came into our room to find Lila. I had put Lila in our bed and he cuddled up next to her. He is such a good big brother. His nickname for her is "Sweet Liley." He always calls her that and is so sweet with her. She really likes him and always calms down when he holds her or talks to her. He says he is her favorite, and I think he's right.
She is so comfy in her little cocoon. This was in the morning after she slept almost six hours straight the night before. It was WONDERFUL!!

Happy St. Patricks Day, and some other stuff

Happy St. Patricks Day,

Love,

Lila Cate

This afternoon we got the call that Lila's billirubin levels were too high and she needed to go under the lights. They were delivered to our house and Lila has to be under them 24 hours a day. She can only come out to eat and have her diaper changed. We expect her to have to stay under them for at least 2 or 3 days.


It looks pretty uncomfortable, but she actually really likes the little bed!

Lila is Home!!

In the Hospital

With Daddy

We can't figure out who she looks like. She doesn't look like Jackson or Sunny.

I love the green flower bow the nursers put in her hair. Ryan said they had a good time fixing her hair in nursery. She had a pretty good mohawk going for awhile.

Getting ready to come home. They pulled out her IV just before we left and she was mad!!
