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.

The first real day.

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.

Have a good night..:)

Lets get em home

So today, they should be home. I cant wait. It seemed so quiet last night without anyone here.

I am headed out to the hospital about 9 AM.

To bad its chilly out today, I had hoped for it to be a bit warmer. At least its not raining or snowing.

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.

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..:)

Today is the day

Wish us luck. Today is the day.
