Week #2

Well folks we're well into week 2 with Miss Melynn & there is never a dull moment. We're still working our kinks out, but we still are blessed with a laid back child. Nothing too exciting has happened like in her first week of life, however she does recognize our voices. which is pretty neat in our eyes. Shes beginning to stay awake more which can make for some long evenings, but we wouldn't trade any of these moments. She went to her first bridal shower this past Saturday, she was passed around like the dip that was served., but alot of family was there that needed to see her.

I'm still missing sleep, but learning to rest when she does, Andy has started his training for his insurance license this week so Melynn & I are trying to keep quiet so that he gets plenty of rest & can study for his big test on Saturday.

Melynn goes back for another doctors appointment on Wednesday so I will update everyone then. Until then or something exciting happens below are some pictures to tide all the restless fans of Melynn over until I can post again.

Hugs & kisses!

Thursday, February 26, 2009

Well today we mark our 1st week as a family. It has definitely been interesting from the moment we got home. Dobber, our syberian husky is doing well with Melynn occasionally sniffing her, & always curious when she makes a noise.
Our first night home wasn't bad, however it took some getting used to. Andy's mom (Lulu) stayed with us along with visits from Uncle Jeff & Uncle Matt. On Sunday, my mom ( Mimi) came to stay with us for a few days.
Monday, the 23rd started our whirlwind of events, along with Melynn's first doctors appt, Andy pulled a muscle bending over too much & my grandparents were in a wreck leaving our house. They both are ok, Grandaddy broke his arm & Grandmother is shook up but doing well.
Tuesday, the 24th Papaw, Nanna Pam, & Uncle Jeff came for a visit along with some Bar-B-Que.
Melynn's days & nights are of course messed up at the moment so I'm getting tons of sleep. TOTAL EXAGGERATION! But we're all hangin in there.
We can't wait for everyone to meet her, I will post pics when I can & we will visit everyone as soon as we can or whenever we get this thing down pat..... which I don't know if you ever really do.

Hugs & Kisses from Melynn!

Momma & I sleep like this alot.

Like Nurse Kate said, "like a burrito"

My 1st Bath!

Daddy giving me my 1st sponge bath! I was ok at this point.

Still going ok.......just in a little shock.

Momma wraps me up in my towel & this is where I get mad! Special thanks to Aunt Becky for my awesome towel!

My First Doctors Appointment!

Melynn's 1st doctors appointment went great. She has gained back 2 & 1/2 ounces & continues to do well. We go back in 2 weeks!
