Spring Break

Well we don't really get Spring Breaks around here but Wesley's cousins do and they went snow skiing at Taos this week. Hopefully, one day, they will teach Wesley how to snow ski!

7 weeks old

Wesley, you had a big weekend! Friday you went to see Dr. Martin again. Here are your stats...11 lbs, that's 73%, 22.5in, that's 74% and your head circumference is 14.25% which is 8% but Dr. Martin says don't worry about the head size. She says that's no indication for how very smart you're gonna be! She told Mommy and Daddy they have small heads so it's no wonder you do too! You also got one shot and a new formula and medicine. The formula and medicine will help with your reflux, which she says will go away. And you're taking your medicine like a big girl!! The shot was tough for your Mommy and Daddy though! They saw real tears from you for the first time! Like I say, you're a good baby and don't cry much at all! And you're sleeping so good!!! Sleeping through the night! And you are smiling! You went to Cameron's wedding Saturday. Wasn't she beautiful?!?! I think this flat wore you out because you slept from 9:30-7:20...that's including the time change. Then you went to church again Sunday. Everyone would say,"what a pretty baby!"We think so too! Here are some of your pictures. We love you!

Love

I just love this picture of our burrito from last night. This was a picture Morgan snuck right before she woke up to eat again.

Proof that we are busy!

Wesley Kay is 6 weeks old today!  Can you believe it?  Wesley, "You are such a good baby!" 

She had her first "real" outing yesterday.  She went to church with us and then to lunch at Mazzio's.  Whew!  That was enough for Mommy but I think Wesley enjoyed all of the attention.  She has SO many admirers.  Here are some pictures as of late.

This is a beautiful dress that your Nan's good friend Sandra made.  The slip even has your name stitched on it.

This picture is about 6 1/2 weeks old but I don't think I've shared it.  Can't wait to post a final picture!

We have cabinets!  And they are being painted and stained as we speak!

Here is the proof that Hines' builders are hard at it to get this house finished!

 

And look!  Scott had time yesterday to stop and pick daffodil's for me and Wesley.  Love it!

Wesley Kay is 1 month old!

Wesley is 1 month old today!! Wow! It's all been such a blur! She has already grown so much! With Scott's scale we find she is over 10 pounds! We are loving every squeak and stretch she makes! I thought I'd share some of my favorite pictures over the last couple weeks with my good friends:)

Here you are after your first bath.

Here's your good friend Madison

This is your first Valentine's Day

The paparazzi is too much ;)

Big stretch!

This is the quilt your Aunt Karen made for you.  She loves you so much!

Happy 1 month sweet baby girl!  We love you!

Happy Birthday Wesley Kay!

This post will be extra long from all of the pictures I want to share.  I will also throw in some information that will be nice for us to review some day.  Please enjoy!  We sure are!!!

First, I would like to point out, we could not have had a better experience than our delivery at St. Vincent's Infirmary!  Our labor and delivery nurse set the precedence for our time spent in the hospital.  She was WONDERFUL!  It was like she was on team Hines!  She was so informative, genuine, comforting and very experienced! Thank you to her!  After we left L&D, we found all of our following nurses would be just as great!  I also couldn't say enough good things about the anesthesiologist and my doctor either!  We chose a pediatrician who was recommended by my sis-n-law and other friends who I think we are just as excited about!  She saw us and Wesley last Monday and guess what?!?  Wesley was already over her birth weight!  She weighed in at 8lbs 1oz.  Dr. Martin thought this was grand!  This week, we have spent much time adjusting and me recovering but so far we are all fabulous!  My hip feels much better already and I can walk with almost no pain!  God is good!!!!  We thank everyone for all of the prayers!  I believe they sure have helped us.  Now to share some pictures.....

Wesley Kay, you were born January 21, 2013 at 10:03 in the morning.  You weighed 8 lbs even and stretched 20.5 inches long.  You were just perfect!  The doctors and nurses thought so too!  Dr. Breniman did your c-section delivery and took great care of your Mommy.  So far you sleep good and eat good too!  Me, your Daddy and all of your family cannot get enough of you!  Everyone says you are so sweet!

Some of your pictures are blurry...especially the ones with your Daddy in them because he is the master photographer.  No one can catch your yawns and smiles like he can!

Here are the flowers and gifts you received while we stayed at the hospital.  There are many more of these at home!  You have no idea how many people love you!

Here are some of your favorite cousins!  CariAnne was so disappointed she didn't get to hear your lullaby when you were born.  That's right!  St. Vincent plays a lullaby over their sound system every time a new baby is born.  Problem is, it's not played right away.  Only when you leave labor and delivery and go upstairs to the ante-partum care and nursery. Your cousins were already gone when we made it upstairs.

And look at all of these good people!  That's your Nim, Papaw Gary, Poppa Wayne, Nanna, Unlce Bryan and Aunt Kelly, and your good friends Sandra, Katie and Leigh.  Sandra has made you some beautiful dresses.  I can't wait to see you in them soon!

And look at that pretty pink bow on the door!  Mommy's BFF Kelly had that sent to you at the hospital to put on your door!  Aunt Kelly was so sad she would miss your birthday, so she made sure she sent a wonderful reminder that she was thinking about you and saying prayers for you too!  Also that next picture was your first time in a car seat.  You look so little in it!  It makes Mommy and Daddy nervous!  When Daddy was driving home he would say, "I don't care how much they honk.  I'm not going over 12."  He was kind of kidding but kind of not;)

That's your first duck call!  It's pink and has your name on it.  Your Daddy thinks it's one of the best gifts you have received!

You love to sleep with your arms up!  We have lots of pictures like this!

And look who came to see you your first weekend home!  Mandy!  She thinks you're perfect too!  And Kelly drove all the way to Sheridan to see you too!!  She loves you that much!  I can't wait for you to meet her kids.  Baxley will get a big kick out of you!  These are not all of your visitors either!  We will have to upload more pictures to share later this week. 

 

I hope everyone enjoyed!  I have more pictures where these came from!! Can't wait to share all of our milestones to come!

1 week old today!!!

And we are doing wonderful! Had our first official outing today...to our first check up. Don't I look sweet?

 

I forgot to post this from Monday.  I am working on uploading lots of pictures to share now!
