It's a GIRL!!!

Well, I've heard that some of you readers know that we are adopting a little girl and are anxiously awaiting to see pictures of her!! We have known about her for about a month now. She was delivered by c-section on May 15, 2009 at 7:55 am. We ended up spending every day last weekend in the hospital with her and getting to know and form a good relationship with her birthmom. I know that there were a lot of people that were surprised that we brought home a little girl because of the fact that we weren't telling very many people to protect us from having the same thing happen to us again. We definitely had our guard up after the last situation but obviously this one turned out much better as we have her in our home to love and care for. So sorry if we lied to any of you but we felt it was best that very few people knew about her just in case.

We have named her Kylee Delight. She is a beautiful little girl and by little I mean she weighed 6 lbs 14 oz and was 18 3/4 inches long at birth. She came home at 6 lbs 5 oz and weighed in at 6 lbs 3 oz at the doctors office on Thursday. Hopefully she starts gaining some weight soon. Now that we have found a nipple that she can take and handle I think she is doing better with feeding not that she really had a problem but the slow nipple was too slow and the fast nipple was too fast. We found a medium flow nipple that fits our bottles and that seems to be working better.

She is a doll and we are in love with her. The dogs even love her. Marli is so interested in her when she's awake and making noises. They both get up with me in the middle of the night and come into her room where I feed her at night. Tassi wasn't too sure of her at first but now is interested in what is making the noises! She loves to swing and also loves to sit in her bouncy seat. She has definitely kept me busy. She is so adorable and looks good in anything that I dress her in. I love dressing her up and have lots of cute newborn outfits to do so with. She is still a little peanut and even the newborn items are big on here. Hopefully that means she will be in them longer so we can use all of her clothes more than once!!

We love showing her off and so we are definitely up for visitors but just let us know ahead of time that you are coming so that we can at least try to make oursleves presentable!!! She takes up a lot of our time but she is so worth it! Alright, I'm sure you're thinking pictures already!!! So here are a couple that we have taken. Enjoy!
