First bath

It's always exciting when the cord falls off and you finally get to bathe your sweet baby!! I was so ready to get Josie in the bath. Sponge baths are great, but I was ready to move on to the real thing. I'm not so sure Josie was though.....

Not liking the bath at first.....

but she did have some moments where she seemed to be enjoying the water.

All wrapped up after the bath.

Still not too thrilled about getting all wet.

Calming down....

All clean!!

The bath was quite the event with all three girls wanting to contribute. Jillian was the photographer (unfortunately, her pictures and video didn't turn out so well. Ha! I'm glad Tony was able to get a few!)

The twins were just eager to help. Tony finally just left the room and stated "there were too many people in here!" Poor Tony!

All in all.....we came out with a clean baby! Success!

Pictures from the week

Here are some extra pictures of our cutie during her 2nd week. Lots of sleeping, but she is having some consistent "wake time" now for a little bit. I love watching her look around and take in everything around her.

Sleepy girl

Alert!

She doesn't know how fun it is being the youngest of 4 silly girls yet...but she will soon find out!!

Laying with mommy

Josie got to meet Aunt Terri this week.

Big yawns!

This was Josie's hospital picture. (I had to take a picture of the picture, but I wanted to have it on the computer. )

2 days old

2 week check up

Last Monday was Josie's 2 week check up. She did great!

Ready for the doctor!

Snoozing in the waiting room

At 2 weeks Josie weighed 8 lbs 12 oz ( gained 7 oz from last week!) and she is now 21 1/4 in. (Grew 1/4 of an inch) Way to go baby!

The next day we had to go back to SL Methodist to get her second PKU (heel prick)

It's always so sad when they cry, but at least that's over!

More pictures and a visit from family

Last week, my good friend, Becca came over to take pictures of Josie and our family. I can't wait to see them! :)

Tony snapped this picture with his phone while Becca was taking pictures.

Love all my girls!

Tony's Aunt Dar and Uncle Lee came to visit for a few days this past week. We loved having the extra set of hands and the girls loved all the fun places that they got to go.

Family picture (We all look so tired!! LOL)

Dar and Lee took the girls to the new Gallery Furniture store near our house. It's an amazing place with fish, monkeys, birds and mattresses to jump on for the kids. They even had this huge chair!

The girls with Aunt Dar and Uncle Lee

One last picture of Miss Josie. We love our sweet baby! She really is doing well. She loves to sleep and eat. :)
She usually eats every 2-3 hours and sleeps most of the day. She is beginning to have some awake time and that's always fun to interact with her.

We have our 2nd doctor appointment soon! I'll keep updating.

First doctor appointment/ One week old

Josie had her first dr appointment last Monday at one week old.

Sweet baby....so sleepy

She measured 21 in and weighed 8lbs 4 oz. (Down 5 oz from birth)

She slept through most of the appointment. She did wake up to spit up and have a dirty diaper. :)

She came home and got some good sleep in her swing.

Caught this cute picture of sweet Josie with her eyes open. :)

Happy one week!!

Going home

I was very anxious to go home so we could all be together and get some rest! The hospital is the worst place to get sleep!! We left the hospital on Wednesday July 8.
