Its been about 6 weeks, slightly more. Kaya is doing very well.
We managed to get her diaper rash, which wasnt one, under control. Simply by NOT doing what doctors told us. We mixed baby powder and either A&D and some medicated stuff. And got it fixed.
We switched her to soy formula. Which seems to keep her MUCH more happy.
The nurse was out here last Friday, to take a look at Kaya. She either meets or WAY exceeds many of the things the nurse looked at. She almost holds her head up. She has some killer grip, the nurse had kaya hold her fingers, and pulled her up. Apparently her tracking ability is at the 3 month mark, instead of the slightly older than a one month mark..:) So, I suppose she chose her close for Warcraft already....Hunter....great....someone else to one shot me in PVP. I am sure since she already has "those eyes" that she is working on her one shot. Or distract.
If I could ask for one thing....sleep.
Oh well.
Sometimes I feel like I am doing a bad job, but hopefully its just one of those bad days.

A week and a month.
Its been just over a week since I have been here to post....and its just shy (two days) of being a month since Kaya was born. Time seems to be standing still and blazing past me all at the same time.
Work sort of sucks. There is a big menu change coming. (20th) And really for the most part, its sort of crazy, and going to cause me all kinds of issues at work.
For those who do restaurant work. We keep portioned burgers in a sliding drawer under the flat top. Good idea, if not a little rough on the back at the end of a Friday night. With the change nothing is portion anymore. So we have to scoop out burgers by order. Well when you sell some 200 mini burgers, and around 100 regular burgers, you spend a lot of time bent over....and not just in the non innuendo sort of way.
Kaya has had a "diaper rash". Not really what it was, and took us forever to get it under control. Which it now is. But now we have switched her to soy formula, as the regular just seemed to make her a huge gas bag that pooped like every 4 hours. It has been sort of rough.
I just read a article. 10 years later, the real story behind Columbine .
A pretty sobering view of what really happened, and what really could have happened and what really we get to see from the news....from the police, from our parents, and our teachers. From our mothers and fathers, from the people we trust.
Here we were all lead to believe that this JUST HAPPENED, and yet. It did not. It was WELL thought out, well planned. It was so much more, and could have been even so much more than that.
I have not been on Warcraft in almost a week, as whatever they did this patch has made it so that I cannot log in. I thought we were passed these days so long ago.
Its finally nice here in Michigan. 70 today, and yesterday, and its supposed to dip in the next couple days back down to a little below normal, but I will take it.
Might hit The Zoo today, who knows. It is just nice to sit. And I am so tired. Home from work at 1 ish, up about 5 with Kaya. I think its the reason I am having such a hard time with my days, really.
My birthday was monday, and it was great. Shannon and I took the kids to her parents and we went out. Only for a couple hours, but it was so nice to sit and talk. to have a could drinks out and just have a good time, and not really worry about all the crap going on around us for awhile.
I am so happy with Kaya, and Shannon and The Boys, yet at the same time I miss not having the extra weight of worry. Everytime Kaya smiles at me or looks AT me. The other day, she almost laughed. Shannon and I had been talking int he kitchen, and I was holding Kaya up and off to my right. I looked over and there she was with this HUGE grin on her face. She almost got a laugh out. I could feel it in her muscles as I held her.
This is also the first time in I cannot remember how long that I have sat here with headphones on and listened to music.
Hope everyone enjoys themsevles till I get around to posting again.

Strangeness
Returning from the dentist, I saw a old man walking very slowly down the sidewalk....backwards.
I also stopped to grab a bite at a place called Burito Loco. I hadnt eaten anything during the morning and had a huge cup of coffee so I was feeling a bit dizzy. I got a fish taco, and it was fantastic. A little pricey, but great food.
If you are in the area, check em out. They are on 12 mile. Right just west of the college, on the south side. Little tiny place.
All fresh ingredients, the ONE employee was very friendly, and informative. they did not have a WIDE selection, but man was it some good food.

Wow, its been crazy.
It has just been crazy the last week or so.
GFs moms car died repeatedly after being fixed. We had Alecs 6 year old birthday party at Jeepers and her ex hubby and his mom were there, was a very awkward moment, but we all got along, and we all had a good time.
Kaya has gone back and forth with this diaper rash, that we just cannot seem to kick.
I am cooking Easter Brunch this weekend, but working as well later that day. It is my birthday coming up monday. It has really just been hectic.
Oh yea, and I broke a tooth, and have been in some serious pain for the last couple days. I went to the ER, after calling Urgent Care. I made a dentist appointment yesterday, but it got canceled and its this morning. So lets hope I can get this taken care of.
Michigan State lost the national championship. I worked downtown during the event, and had my picture taken with the NCAA trophy.

My first week as a new dad
Its the end of the first week as a new dad. Kaya and mom headed out to Childrens Hospital for some blood work that the pediatrician thought neccessary.
I have Alec with me today, and we played some baseball, and will be headed to school.
I have changed so many diapers this week, that i think MY butt is getting red.
I managed to squeeze in some Warcraft the other night, and got some nice gear. Between being back to work, everything else the week has just sort of flown by.
We have been lucky and Kaya is waking around 11 to midnight eating, sleeping till about 3 or 4. and then not up again till about 6 where she will just lay and coo till about 7 when she really starts to get hungry. During the day though she is up almost like clock work every two hours. And her diaper rash, from ALL the pooping at the hospital is starting to look pretty yuck. But hopefully we headed it off, and it will all be good..
that was just a quick update...thanks for reading.

So today was the first real day back to work.
Morning shift. Mom and Kaya stayed home. We also had Alec back today, so I made some dinner.
Salmon, wrapped in foil, with blood oranges, Leeks, parsley and dill.
I got it into my head at the very end to take the parsley and dill and some water, and a two cloves or garlic some lime juice and a wee bit of chicken base and made a sauce. Really nice.
Kaya has been very good,especially for only her second day home.
Alec has been SUPER good especially for his first night so far with his baby sister here.
I have tomorrow off, its a laundary day as I am about out of things to wear.
We have a couple other things to take care of as well.
Anyways.

Word is...
The word is they are coming home tomorrow. From the extra surgery she had, they want to give her another day there to get meds and such.
So I am headed out in a bit. See you tomorrow.
So I am headed out in a bit. See you tomorrow.
Happy Birthday....well a day late anyways..:)
So it went on without a hitch.
Ok, thats not true at all. There we quite a few hitches..:)
Surgery time. Lack of anastesiloligistslistness....however you spell "the guy who makes sure you dont feel pain"..:)
Anyways. Kaya Lynn. Born Friday, March 20th 2009. 8:27 AM. 7 pounds 8 ounces, 20 inches.
She has some LONG fingers, her moms nose my chin. Probably her moms hair. Its sort of auburn in color. Like all babies she has blue eyes. I dont know how long it takes them to change to the proper color. I hope she keeps em they are a great shade of blue.
She is very alert. Passed her first hearing test which can be common for c-section babies to fail the first try, since they have crap all in their ears.
Mom and baby should be coming home today. We dont know for sure yet. Its still early breakfast is just on its way, and I dont think the pediatrician or her OB have been in to see her yet. So its a possability.
I got some cleaning I want to do around here so they dont have to walk into dishes and laundary. it was a long weekend, and I really didnt get a chance to take care of any of it. I did get a pretty good nights sleep last night, since it wasnt in a fold out hospital chair.
I will have some picture probably monday, once I have a day off HERE, and dont have to run back and forth, and I work for a few hours today as well. So, meh, we will see.
Anyways. Dont know if anyone is even following yet. But she is here. Now for all the real new baby fun..:)
