Evie

Praying and loving some sweet friends today. Jonathan, Alicia and Ramsey Harrison lost their Evie one year ago today. We miss you Evie and know we will see you again one day. Harrisons, we love you guys so much. What God has done through you over this past year has changed peoples lives forever.




1 month

Weight: 9 lbs. 6 oz.
Height: 21.5 inches
Schedule: Landry is eating about 3-4 ounces every 3 hours and we nap and play the rest of the day, very rigorous:)
Clothes: 0-3 months but she is wearing some of her brother old Christmas clothes that are a bit too big in the picture above.
Sleep: She usually sleeps about 4 hour stretches at night, which is awesome but sometimes we get more...or less:)
She really is the most fun and we have been enjoying our time indoors thanks to all the nasty weather. Robbins has proved a great big brother. The first thing he does when he comes home from school is say "Is her eyes open?" He's kind of obsessed with her eyes being open but I keep trying to explain to him how much she sleeps right now but soon she will keep them open more. He is ready for her to start playing which cracks me up b/c one day he is going to think she is the most annoying thing ever and she will think he is the coolest, trust me I know I am a little sister to a big brother. They are both getting so big and I can't wait to share her newborn pics but I am going to wait until after Christmas b/c they are presents for some folks as well.

Breakfast with Santa




The church that Robbins school is attached with had a breakfast with Santa last weekend and he loved it! He walked right up to him hopped in his lap and smiled. He asked Santa for Spiderman, Batman and Transformers, boy much? We didn't have Landry join just b/c I am really trying to keep her germ free since the hospital visit but she was there in her Christmas best too:)

Dentist

A couple weeks ago, Robbins went to see the dentist for the first time. His Nana, a former dental hygienist took him for me and as you can tell, he did great!

Thanksgiving and Four Weeks

After a helpful week with Nana in town, we had a little bit of a scare the Sunday before Thanksgiving. Landry ended up with a 101.4 fever which is an automatic 48 hour hospital stay. Luckily they tested her for everything, I mean everything and she was cleared and her fever was gone within 36 hours but they are super precautions with the little ones. It looks like a little virus, probably passed through brother was al she had. We were able to leave Vandy on Tuesday and still head to Lexington on Wed for the long weekend.

I love this one of J.Ed and Landry
Pumpkin #2
The kids cousins Abby and Grace aka best babysitters ever! Robbis had so much fun playing with all the kids and it was so helpful to have him entertained!
We went to visit Gram and Gramps. They are very proud to have a little girl.
Don't adjust your monitor, yes they are ice skating. It was hilarious. Robbins wanted to do it so bad all by himself but clearly he woud fall if we let him so eventually we gave up on skates and resorted to...
Tennis shoes on ice. Much happier boy.


Landry celebrating the Cats victory over UT. The first in 27 years and her dad was very happy! Her mom, not so much after the Auburn game.
This is Nana's best friends grand baby Harper(1 of 2)
Ellie(2 of 2)
J.Ed took Robbins to his first UK football game and he loved it. Clearly he was exhausted but he is still talking about it:)
Now here we are four weeks after she was born and it has flown by. She now weighs 9.5 lbs and is 21.5 inches long. She is so sweet and has such a relaxed disposition. Other then a few gas pain here and there all her eating stuff is figured out to and I am really glad to be able to still nurse. After my time with R, I was not so sure if that was for me but she is doing so well!

Two Weeks!

Yesterday, this sweet little girl was two weeks old. I can not believe how fast it is going by. So we decided to celebrate her big day by taking her on her first shopping trip. We bundled up and headed to lunch and shopping at Nordstrom. It was really nice to have lunch with friends and stay out of the house for a while.

We went to the Dr. and she is doing so much better. She has gained almost a pound and is barely jaundice anymore. PTL! We also had her newborn photo shoot with Jocelyn Smith Photography. It was so fun but really exhausting for both of us I think. She is eating about 3oz. every three hours and is thankfully going back to sleep after she eats at night(this is quite the departure from her big brother). Speaking of Robbins, he is doing pretty well with the transition. Other then initially in the morning not wanting to go to school and wanting me to do everything for him, he is adjusting well. A few regression things here and there but nothing we did not expect. He loves his little sister and hugs and kisses her all the time. He is heading to Lexington to spend the week with Nan and Pops and J.Ed and I will head up there Wednesday for Thanksgiving. I am really excited for the rest of the family to see her and all the kids to get to play together. Hope everyone has a very Happy Thanksgiving!

First shopping trip!
I took this one with my phone but how cute is this set up for her newborn pics!
My little frat boy...polo, sunglasses and cell phone. Wow!


She looks just like Robbins here


Robbins baked cookies with Nana, patience is not his strongest quality:)
His beautiful baking skills

Hospital pics and Week One

Well, here we are one week later. I thought I would have some big dramatic tale to tell but actually all is pretty quiet on the home front. We came home on Saturday afternoon and boy did the phrase home sweet home ever ring true. As much as I like all the help in the hospital there is nothing quite like having your own space, bed, kitchen,etc. We have been mostly hanging around the house except for some Dr.'s appt's but even still the week has gone by so fast! She is sleeping pretty good and other then some feeding issues that we are working out, she is pretty awesome. Robbins was such a fussy baby so this quiet disposition she seems to have is a welcomed change. One prayer request is her jaundice levels are still pretty high b/c of breast feeding and not taking in enough so say a prayer that they start coming down soon. No major worries, but a hospital visit for the light therapy could happen if it does not go down soon. She is eating like a horse now so we are prayerful that all will be better in the coming days.
Birth Stats:
Weight-8lbs. 6oz.
Height-21 inches
One week stats:
Weight-7lbs. 6oz.(hence the feeding issues,she has lost over a lb. since birth)
Height-21 inches
