Daddy on Duty

Lance found yet another use for the Boppy!

Let’s Go For a Ride!

Rylee’s all bundled up in her car seat. She just got back from her second weigh in.

Home Sweet Home

Rylee has been home for 2 weeks now, and the 3 of us are settling in to our new routine. Rylee has done VERY well. She’s eating really well, sleeping most of the time, and overall has continued to be the same easy-going girl she’s been from day one!

She had her first check-up with our pediatrician 2 days after she came home, and everything seems to be going really well. She has to be on oxygen for the time being. Her doctor says she could be off of it in a couple weeks, or she could need it for several months. She was measured and weighed, and she posted some pretty good numbers. Rylee was an even 6 lbs and was 18 inches long. A week later we took her in to be weighed and she had gained another 8 1/2 ounces! I think she might have been close to 8 lbs if she’d been able to take it easy and finish growing in her mama’s tummy instead of doing it the hard way!

Lance and I are still figuring out what works best for both of us as far as taking turns with Rylee, but I think we’ve narrowed down a schedule that lets both of us get the sleep we need, and gives us both a little one on one time with our little sweetheart! Overall, the first 2 weeks have been a success (not easy, but definitely worth it)!

She's HOME!

The big day finally came! Little miss Rylee actually got
to come home last Tuesday, February 9th, 3 weeks
before she was due! Here we are, leaving the hospital for
the first time as a family. Rylee practically disappears in
her car seat, but I promise she's in there!!

CPR: Car Packed and Ready
(Lance and I had to take an infant CPR class before Rylee
could come home. One of the questions on the test was what
does CPR stand for. Car packed and ready was one of the
options, not the right answer, but it was our favorite!)

Bath Time

So Pretty!
