It's taken me 8 1/2 weeks....

Well it's now here.....a blog for our family....but in all honesty, it's mainly to post Kaitlyn updates and pictures! My brother and sis in law just announced that they are pregnant and already have a blog going (check it out here www.familymarks.net), so that's what really made me realize my procrastination.

Here is a quick recap:
Birthday: 8/9/08
Weight: 8 lb 15 oz
Height: tall (I forget the exact lenght)

At 2 weeks she was 1 lb under birth weight, diagnosed with acid reflux (prescribed Zantac), and we started supplementing her feedings with a bottle.
At 4 weeks she got cradle cap pretty bad and it caused her to go partially bald in spots.
At 5 weeks, hematoma on head went away, colic-like behavior ended, reflux seemed to improve, and she started smiling. Week 5 was GREAT!
Favorite song: If you're happy and you know it....

2 month checkup:
Got 1st set of shots
Weight: 11 lb 11 oz (55%) (gaining weight well now, but still using bottle every feeding)
Height: tall (again...I forget the exact length, but 95%)

Ok, enough with that stuff....here's some pics:

Happy because I have my epidural in (one of the best decisions I've made in my life)

Our new baby (with our doctor)

3 generations

Hi Katylyn, this is your Grandpa. We are glad you are doing better and had fun playing with you at Dana Point. Keep being good so your mom and dad can sleep and have fun with you. I sure look forward to seeing you grow up and I hope that I can help you learn to hit a softball, serve a tennis ball, kick a soccer ball, and maybe even smash a golf ball. We love you and look forward to you and your mom coming to Lodi in a few weeks. Grandma and Grandpa.

I still say she is lucky she doesn't look like Grampa Rick>

It's so fun to see pictures of her! Keep them coming... you know with all the free time you have now that she's nursing better! :-) Glad to see you are all doing so great and we can't wait to meet little Kaitlyn! I'm sure my boys will toughen her up a bit! Ha! See Ya Soon! Jen Garcia
