Splish, Splash
Brynn had her first sponge bath at home the other night. Do you think she enjoyed it?
She doesn't look like she is having fun, huh? She did stop screaming later, however, and was a little more smiley!

"40 week" belly pic
Since Brynn came a week early, we didn't get to post our final/40 week belly pic. We think this "belly" is even better!

Tipping the scales...
Brynn had her first appointment yesterday at the pediatricians office for a newborn check up and to follow up on the jaundice. He checked her over head to toe and it looks like she is a keeper! He is not concerned at all with the jaundice because her levels have come down, she is eating and pooping well, and she gaining weight.
A lot of newborns lose weight from the time they are born, but Brynn has only gained!! So all good signs! She was 6 lbs 9 oz when she was born, 6 lbs 10 oz when we left the hospital on Saturday and she was a whopping 6 lbs 13 oz at the appointment yesterday. So all in all a great appointment and we see them next for her 2 week check up.
Oh, and Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

We're Home!!
First of all...what are the Doctor's thinking? They let US take home a baby? Just kidding. We are all doing just fine. Brynn had elevated numbers regarding jaundice, so the Dr. put her on Photo Light Therapy which dipped the levels down a bit. She looked like a little glow-worm. She's still scheduled to get poked a bit more this week to make sure she's safe. Poor little thing. Here are a few pics from our little girl's first few days.

38 weeks
The baby has been having lots of hiccups lately! I mean we have felt them before, but now it seems like it is every other night for 5-10 minutes or so! The little munchkin is drinking too much amniotic fluid!! It's too funny though!
At 38 weeks the baby has plumped up, 6 pounds 8 ounces and about 19 1/2 inches long. Baby C has a firm grasp, which we'll soon be able to test when we hold that little hand for the first time! The organs have matured and are ready for life outside the womb!
This weeks picture...and don't forget to vote in the pool!

37 weeks (Check out the baby pool)
Another week, another doctors appointment and everything is looking good. We got to see the little stinker again...still head down and kicking my ribs. The ultrasound showed plenty of fluid this time, so we are good on that front.
From the looks of the poll a majority of you think Baby Crayon is a girl. How come? Is it a gut feeling? Symptoms? Way I'm carrying? Or do you just want us to have a girl? We are just curious to see how you all came up with your guess, even if you think it's a boy. I found a website that lets you put in your guess about the baby, everything from due date, sex, height, weight and time. So put in your guesses and we'll see who is the closest! By the way, you get dinged big time for the wrong sex.

This week the baby is considered full term, meaning if the baby arrived now the lungs should be fully matured and ready to adjust to the outside world even if we are still 3 weeks from our due date. This week the little one weighs about 6 1/3 pounds and is about 19 inches from head to heel. Here is the picture from this week:
