Sleepy girl

Wednesday, May 16, 2012

So on Tuesday after she was born we went to our check up with the midwife. I had realized she was looking a bit orange but figured we were being seen on Tuesday so I tried not to worry. Well, the midwife sent us straight from her office to the pediatricians office. We had her blood drawn and the numbers came back VERY high. So....off to the hospital we went to be admitted. I was FREAKING OUT! I know what her lab value was, and I know what is normal AND I know what a high Biliruben can cause. Tyler was in town and I had expected a quiet day at home so I had sent all the boys to the beach. Luckily they were almost here by the time I headed to the hospital.

Here's baby girl settled in her bed, she had double lights under her and a set on top of her

Depending on the nurse she "needed" the eye covers.

Don't worry, she wears her sunglasses at night. ;)

So sad but so cute

After about 36 hours on the lights her numbers were down enough that I could take her out of the light box and hold her for more than a few minutes. We had to hang out for an additional 6 hours to make sure her levels didn't bounce back up too high.

Trying to hang out in the "sun" she couldn't be on the artificial lights for those 6 hours but you'd better believe I had her hanging out in the window

The sun actually came out for a minute and she didn't like it, it was bright

After a few hours our super nice day nurse took out her IV.

At least our room had a view.

First Day Home

Since I delivered at a birthing center not the hospital I was able to go home the same day/night.

Here's a picture of Carleigh hanging out with Dad.

Keegan, the proud and very happy big brother once he got home.

Both of my kids!

She was able to get her 1st bath that day. (Well technically it could be considered her 2nd bath since she was born in a bath)

Baby Guessing Game

Alright, lets play the guessing game. It's officially May, the month of her due date. Her room is ready, all the bags are packed, (mine, baby's and Keegans) car seat base is installed. So, make your guesses.

1. When will she get here???
2. How much will she weigh??
3. How long will she be??
4. Will she be born with lots of hair or little hair.

Just as an FYI/Reminder
Keegans stats were:
1. he was 1 day early
2. he weighed 7lbs 11oz
3. he was 20.5 inches long
4. he had a TON of hair.

*Keegan* Funnies

"Mom, do you know how I see things? There are little guys in my head taking pictures of what I'm looking at and then they send them to my brain"

Early this morning Keegan came running out of his room with a shoe in his had and yelled "MOM there's a bug in my pants!!" I asked "there's a bug in your pants?" He responded, "not these pants, the ones on my floor, I saw it, and thought it was a running arrow, but it's a bug"

Uncle Jon works at the Costco that George Bush was doing a book signing at. Keegan was talking to Jon on the phone and I told Keegan to ask Jon if he saw President Bush. Keegan quickly ask "Jon, did you see a president in a bush?"

He's been saying this for a while now but it still makes me laugh. If you say to him "You don't say" he ALWAYS responds with "OH, I'll say alright!"

Today Keegan told me "Watch out mommy, I'm coming in hot" he then jumped from the coffee table to the couch. When I asked him if he even knew what that meant and he told me "it means I'm going really fast and it will be hard to stop"

When I was unsure of the pool temp he didn't hesitate and jumped in. When he saw that I was still standing on the side he said "jump in mommy, it's refreshing"

Keegan and his best bud had a bit of a disagreement and Keegs ended up with a 1 inch gash in his head. (He's fine) But when I asked him if he was mad at Evan he replied "No, but he sure was mad at me!"

Not a "funny" but just a note, while we were in Mexico Keegan learned to say his "K" and "C's". So he no longer calls himself "Teenan" and Koda is no longer "Toda" It was such a shock to hear him ask us how was "MexiCO" not "MexiTo"

I have resorted to washing Keegans mouth out with a tiny bit of soap when he argues. Afterwards I was talking to him explaining that arguing isn't good and that the soap tastes yucky right?? He looked at me and said "Well, it doesn't taste GOOD"!!

The other day Keegan fell out of my mom's really tall truck. When he was asked if he got hurt on the truck he said, "No, it was the ground that hurt me"!

**Warning, not really funny, but still so funny at the time, maybe shocking is the right word**

Keegan dropped the "F" bomb today, totally random and so unlike him that I didn't believe he actually said what I thought he did. I actually made him say it again to see if heard him right. So despite me and Josh laughing we had to tell him it wasn't funny and that if he ever said it again he would go to time out for a long long time.

He got a watch for Christmas, if you ask him what time it is he often says "here, you look at it" It is a digital watch and will read the #'s individually if there is a 3 anywhere in the time he thinks they are E's So the other day it was 4 "E"7

Josh was helping him put on the ONLY pair of pants that actually fit and don't fall down. Keegan doesn't unsnap the snap and was struggling to get them over his keester so he said "my butt is too big" If you have actually seen Keegan you know that is NOT the case.

He often asks me how fast different animals can run, he usually wants me to tell him if it is faster or slower than Koda.

I told Keegan his drawers were falling down, he turned to me and said "What???? my drawers???" he then immediately ran upstairs and pushed in his dresser drawers.

Keegan asked if Grandpa Dan was up in heaven? I told him yes. He asked if he was up in the stars and clouds? I said yes. He then asked, when he is done in his rocket can he come back down?

Keegan got to meet Elmo at Sea World, he ran up and gave him a huge hug. Afterward he told me that "I gave Elmo a hug and didn't even poke him in the eye"

When his finger nails get to long he tells me he has "girl nails"

While on vacation, he asked if we were going to the beach that day, I told him "No we are going to Sea World today" he started to cry and then told me he didn't wan't to go to Sea World that he wanted to go to Wal-Mart.

While out one day a little girl called to her mommy and Keegan turned to me and said "Mommy she said your name"

I had asked Keegan for another kiss this morning and he replied "Nope, only one kiss today."

"Mom, there is something in my flip-flop!!" I ask, what is it? Get it out. He replies "my foot"

"Pa" is going pee, but he doesn't need my step stool betause he is very tall."
