Chloe's 1st Bath!

Well, the "nub" on Chloe's belly button FINALLY fell off!  I'm not sure why it took so long to fall off, but boy are we glad it did -it was starting to smell!  So, we were able to give Chloe her first bath.  She was a little nervous at first, but seemed to like it.

Chloe Jade - 5 weeks tomorrow!

Chloe went to see Dr. Davis for her 1 month check up on Friday.  Chloe weighs 9 pounds, 11 ounces & is 21 1/2 inches long.  Both her height and weight fall within the 50-75th percentile.  Chloe's head is 14 1/8 inches which is  in the 5-10th percentile...but nothing to worry about.  She got her second Hepatitis B shot and did great!  At her next appointment, Chloe will get 4 immunizations...Nana will have to come with us for this visit!  Today, Chloe went to her Papa's church for the first time.

Next week, Chloe will meet Jillian, her nanny.  Jillian will work with Chloe and I a couple days next week to begin learning her routines, likes/dislikes, personality, our home, etc.  We're hoping for a long and happy relationship with Jillian.

Welcome Chloe Jade!

Well, this is my first blog, and I'm not sure where to start. After 41 weeks of being pregnant and wondering what our baby girl would look like...we finally got to meet her.  The last 3 weeks have been great, and everyday a little different.  God gave us this perfect little person who we're just getting know a little more each day.  Some days are more challenging than others...learning what her different cries may mean.  If only she could just tell me! But I do know that our Chloe Jade is beautiful and changing a little bit everyday.  Her eyes are still blue, but her face is filling out and I think she's getting longer. Sometimes she's a really great sleeper and other times she cries to fight it (like now!). We have a busy week of pictures. Tomorrow, we're having some newborn pictures taken at our house.  On Friday, we'll make our first trip to Van Buren to have pictures taken with the boys by Jody Rhoads.
