Finally To Term!


Our 5-week-old baby girl is finally 40 weeks...hmmm, something's wrong with that math. But finally, our original due date of April 15th has come and almost gone...what a hurdle to get over, both mentally for me & Philip, and physically for Kinsley. She is finally, technically supposed to be outside of my belly now. March 11th seems like ages ago.

We had our weekly ped appt Tuesday that didn't go as well as we would have hoped...no, not terrible, but Kinsley hadn't gained any weight since her appt last week, and her jaundice levels went up. So for the past several days, we have been trying a new routine...a new strictly-formula diet (formula that smells oddly similar to mashed potatoes, so my new nickname for her is "small fry") and lots of time in front of the windows soaking in the daylight to get some vitamin D from the sunshine. Hopefully we have a better re-check of her weight and jaundice levels tomorrow!

One of her many faces she gives us!

Window time (and me ready for our pool to be open in the background once this pollen - yuck - is gone)!

More window time...jaundice levels please go down!

And look who is always right next to her.
