New car....

Jeff and I bought a new car last weekend---a 2008 Toyota Prius. It is such an awesome car and we are looking forward to the cheaper gas bill! I have decided to go back to work next month-May 19th--my birthday to be exact! I am looking forward to returning and not looking forward to leaving her everyday, but I am sure we will survive.

Delaney is taking her first plane ride tomorrow. We are flying up to Seattle to introduce her to my side of the family. We are very excited and I will post pictures after our trip!

First Movie....

Friday night we took Delaney out to her first movie. We went and saw the new Adam Corolla film "The Hammer". It was actually pretty good and is getting great reviews. Before the movie we went out to dinner with a large group of friends and then to the movie. She did great. She was a little fussy at first but then fell asleep and we didn't hear a peep from her the rest of the evening....

On a sad note....I lost my Grandma Presley last week after a short battle with cancer. Delaney and I were hoping to see her one last time when we made it to Seattle in May but she was in pain and could not hold on much longer. We are still planning to make the trip to Seattle the first weekend in May, so we hope to see everyone there!

Next weekend Delaney is going to have her photo taken. If available, I will post some of the pictures soon.

First Bronco Experience......

Delaney attended her first Bronco game on Friday, April 11. Jeff, our friend Bob Ward, and my dad all went to the Blue and Orange Spring Game. It was pretty nice outside so it was perfect. We stayed for almost the entire game and Delaney just slept away. Here are some pictures from her outing.....

Two week appointment.....

Delaney had her two week appointment on Friday April 4. She weighed 6 lbs and 15.5 ounces. Her doctor was a little concerned about her weight so we scheduled a nurse check up for her the following Friday, April 11. At this appointment, her weight went up to 7 lbs. 8 ounces so she gained plenty of weight during that week. She has had a few fussy nights now and she seems to be wide awake from about 8 pm until midnight. So we are going to keep trying to establish some sort of schedule. She was feeding about every 2-3 hours but now sometimes she goes 4 hours without wanting to eat and sometimes she is eating every 1.5 hours.

We found a great daycare for her when I return to work so that is settled which is wonderful not having to worry about that anymore. My parents were in Boise from Monday, April 7 until today when they return home to Seattle. They spent lots of time with Delaney and they will see her again when we return to Seattle the first weekend of May to visit family.....

First Doctor Appointment....

Delaney had her first doctor appointment yesterday for her one week baby wellness check-up. Her jaundice is gone, but she has lost two ounces. So we need to get some weight on her before her next visit-Friday, April 4th for her two week (yes both appointments in one week). She will have her PKU follow-up at that time.

She has had a few fussy moments in during the nights. I have found that I cannot eat spaghetti sauce or anything heavy on tomato sauce since it seems to upset her tummy. Other than that, nothing new to report. Everything else is going well.

I talked to her doctor and he said to wait until she is at least one month to travel. So everyone back home will need to wait at least a few more weeks until she is okay to travel. Hope all is well with everyone else. I will write more soon.....
