a night out

Tonight Skylar & I went to Zach & Jacque's for dinner. We had such a great time. We got to see Bonnie, Todd, Regan, Bella, & Dave (z's Dad) Skylar was a good girl all night, until the drive home. She cried the entire 40 minutes!!! She settled down when she got home. We sure will miss our good friends when we move.

Look how big I'm getting

Skylar's Dr appt

Today Skylar had to go to the Dr. She has a rash all over her face & chest. The Dr. said it is baby acne & will go away. He told me not to use any lotions & to give her less baths since soaps can irritate the skin. She also has yellow scabs on her eybrows. This is seborrea & is related to eczema. We need to put some hydrocortizone cream on it for awhile. Other than that she is doing great. She is 1 month & 2 days old & now weighs 11 lbs 1.2 oz!!!

4 weeks old today!

Skylar after she eats

The Dr said Skylar is going through a growth spurt so she eats all the time! The good news is Mommy is only 4 lbs away from her prepregnancy weight! Look how happy she is after she eats...if she would only sleep!

Quality time with Daddy

Skylar's Dr appts.

Yesterday & today Skylar had Dr. appts. Yesterday was her 1 week check up w/ the pediatrician. Her name is Dr. Mikels & we like her a lot. Skylar will go back next Wednesday for a 2 week checkup. She is almost back to her birth weight & is doing well. Today we saw the orthapedic Dr. about her foot. No big deal...her foot was turned sideways & they said this happens sometimes & it will correct itself. It is not a club foot. She does not need to wear a cast or a brace. We spent about 3 hours at the hospital today trying to get her signed up w/ Tricare Insurance. Since we are signing her up for the 1st time & we are moving it is a very confusing process. Tomorrow we have one more office to visit & she will be set up in the system. After we move we will call & transfer all of us to Tricare West (instead of Tricare East) Larry is moving on Saturday & I am very sad. We will miss him a bunch. The school is working with him & will try to let him take a long weekend very soon to come back & get us.

1 week old

Today Skylar is 1 week old! I can't beleive it. Tomorrow she will get her 1st checkup at 3pm. Today we had our 1st outing. We visited Zach, Jacque & Regan. It was nice to get out of the house & she did very well.

Skylar & Granny

Well it's day 5 with Skylar. Here she is with Granny. This is one of the few times she's been downstairs since she is a very fussy baby. She loves to be up in our room eating or taking naps. She's fussy but we still love her!

Happy New Year

Here are some pictures from the last 2 days. We are still trying to get into a routine. We are not quite there yet, but we are working on it. I am so lucky that the Navy gives 10 days Paternity leave. It has been great having Larry home. We are also lucky to have Larry's Mom & Granny & Uncle Bill to help. Enjoy the pics!
