Daddy Day Care

On Wednesday, March 17 Daddy was in charge. Mom went to class for the day so I just hung out with Daddy. We did some of daddy's homework, played video games and went for a walk. Uncle Thomas threw a curve ball at Dad because he had a house showing for the day. Not only did Daddy have to watch me, but he had to make sure we kept the house clean and weren't home when the potential buyers came through.

Mom says that he did a great job! Both Grandma's had to call Wednesday evening to see how Daddy did. Silly grandmas...Daddy is a great daddy!

Happy Birthday Immy!

O.K. yesterday we spent the day thinking about how we were supposed to be going into have a baby...yesterday (3-10-10) was our scheduled C-section date! Well that was mom's plan anyway. I am my own person so I turned two weeks old today (3-11-10). Happy Birthday to me! Dad wonders why mom is wishing me a happy birthday, he must not realize that two weeks is a long time for me. I continue to sleep most of the time. I usually have a 2-4 hour wakeful period during the day and then another about 1AM. I have been taking my formula really well, so Mom and Dad are letting me be in control of my own hunger at night. I just fuss a bit and Mom comes to my rescue. Dad on the other hand, continues to snore. Sometimes our dog Beulah checks in as well!

Next week is a big week at our house. We have plans almost every day! It will be an adventure! The most exciting happen on Friday. Mom's work friends are having a baby shower and then Dad's best friend Ben and his fiancee Maggie are coming to visit! I am sure I will have plenty of stories to share!

Going for a walk

It was a beautiful day on Saturday so Mom asked Dad if we could go on a family walk. It turns Dad wanted to go for a walk on Friday, but Mom said I wasn't old enough. I guess, one day makes a big difference when you are only 9 days old! I think Mom is getting stir crazy! They got me in my car seat/stroller. Mom wanted to make sure I was warm so she bundled me up with warm clothes and an extra blanket It turns out that the car seat cover that Grandma Barb gave me keeps me pretty warm! I was sweating by the time I got home! I hope Mom figures out temperature balance at some point!

Belly Button!

I am one step closer to being a big girl soon...My umbilical cord fell off today! I am growing up fast!

Family Time

Grandpa Maurie and Grandma Barb were able to come out on Saturday. It had been a while since Grandpa had been able to visit because Grandpa had been feeling under the weather. We made up for it on Saturday night. I was wide awake for Grandpa so we got to have some quality time making faces at each other.





Sunday brought more family. Grandpa Fig and Grandma Linda came for a visit. It had been over a week since I got to see Grandpa...I think he was feeling a bit deprived. They brought an extra special person with them to visit--Great Grandpa Wendell. It had been a long time since Great Grandpa had held a baby so small. I think he was afraid that he could break them. We were able to take a four generation picture.

Daddy's Bath time!

Friday night, Daddy took his turn at bath time! He did a fantastic job! He moved quickly and kept me warm. he was hoping to put a curly in my hair, but mom said no. Instead I ended up with spikes all over! I am one hot little girl!

Our first outing

We had big plans for Imogen's one week birthday...we were going to go up to the clinic/hospital for an appointment and to meet some of Mom's friends! We started at out my first doctor's appointment. I had to have a minor procedure. I think Mom and Dad were more nervous than I. I was amazing...I cried for like 7 seconds and moved on with my life. I am feeling back to myself already. We next went back to where it all began...the birth center. Mom talked to a specialist about getting my feeding routine figured out...I guess I am being a challenge. I didn't know! We will have to work on it together. Next up was a trip to Med/Surg. The nurses and staff heard us coming and quickly make their ways into the hall to catch a glimpse of me. I am royalty up there!

Mom and Dad were supposed to show the house at 4pm, but the people showed up at 3:20. They made a mad dash to get me and a few things together and out of the house we went. We got my birth certificate notarized and met some of the Daddy's bank friends. When we returned home, we realized that we forgot the keys in our mad dash. Back in the car we went. Uncle Thomas came to the rescue by letting us in. Madeline came back and did a wonderful job of feeding Imogen and holding her with love and support. It was beautiful!
