Welcome Aunt Brittany!

Aunt Brittany flew into town today to see little Izzy. She was very excited to see her! I also had my orientation tonight for my new job at Embassy Suites so I had to have Grandma Pam babysit! :-( It was so hard to leave her already!!! :-(

I'm 2 weeks old!!!

Cuddlin on the couch

We had her 2 week checkup today. She is doing wonderfully!!! She is 8 pounds 4 ounces, and still 20 1/2 inches long! She is holding her head up great (for only being 2 weeks old), and everything else is great!

The Winner is.....

Well, I forgot to let everyone know who won the Birthdate and weight guessing game from my baby shower!!!! Chris Briggs won the date. She guessed it!! Way to go Grandma Chris!!! Noone got the weight guess. However, Dina was closest guessing 7 lbs, 7 oz. And, her guess was the biggest!!!

Breakfast with Santa

Izzy and Santa Izzy, Santa and Hannah Momma, Izzy, Cari, and Hannah

This morning we went to the Limestone Walters Breakfast with Santa and Izzy got to tell Santa what she wanted for Christmas! I think she asked for the ability to sleep through the night. Oh no wait, that's what I asked for! :-) we were pretty tired becuase we actually got up this morning so after the breakfast, we came home and slept the whole rest of the afternoon!

Bath time!

Okay, this isn't so bad Maybe.....

Aunt Sherry and Aunt Jenny came over tonight after work to "look at the baby". They gave her a bath after she ate and let me take a shower! I love showers!! And rumor has it, Izzy actually didn't mind this bath as much and the previous ones.... :-) Maybe aunt Sherry's on to something.... Thank you very much to Sherry and Jenny for helping me out for a few minutes so I could clean myself up!!!

Playin with Papa

Izzy loves the Piano Papa is teaching her to play poker already!!! She seems to be catching on well!!!

I'm one week old!!!

She has grown so much and already I think she looks like a completely different baby! It's amazing how much she has grown already!!! I can't believe it! I'm also very excited to watch her continue to grow!

Bye bye Grandma!

Grandma had to get up really early this morning to leave on a business trip. She did wake up early enough to hold the little miss before her morning feeding. I think this trip is going to be harder on grandma than Izzy, but I do know that Izzy will miss her grandma too! It's a good think she'll be home sunday evening!

Izzy and big cousin Hannah Izzy and big cousin Kelsey Can'tyou see she's thrilled with this picture! And this is what we do!!!

Today was kindof a crazy day! First of all, last night was our first rough night. Izzy decided to stay awake most of the night and we were having problems eating because my milk came in and I was so engorged she couldn't latch on!! We were pretty tired when we got up but we had to get mommy a pump to get this extra milk out so she could eat. After we got home and I got some milk pumped out, Yvonne and Candice came by with David to meet Izzy, then shortly after Annie and Brooke stopped by to check in on her. Then, Cari and Jay came over to wait for Hannah to get back from the show with grandma Chris. This was a little too much activity for one day I think because she started getting really fussy! Sorry to everyone that stopped by to see her, it was not a good day!! :-(

First Doctor's Visit

Izzy had to go see the doctor for the first time today. They wanted her to come in to be checked for Jaundice and check her weight just to make sure everything is going well. And, I'm happy to report, Izzy passed with flying colors again!! Her jaundice levels have already dropped from her last day in the hospital AND she is back up to her birth weight (which they don't usually expect until the two week appointment). All good news today! He next appointment is on her 2 week birthday! :-) Hopefully things will keep going this well!

Going Home

What a pretty girl! She's pretty much perfect!!!! Getting ready to go home!!! Potato Sack Kid Little Eskimo baby!!
