Bathing Beauties

Hello All! I hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend! We had a wonderful visit with my Mom and Steve this past weekend at the beach. On Sunday we took the girls to the bay and here are just a few pictures of them. I was so excited to find matching bathing suits and cover ups for both girls, however, on Sunday Kaileigh managed to get strawberries all over her cover up and Aubrie got some pooh-pooh on her swimsuit, so much for trying...kids will be kids.

Love Always,

Kat

P.S. We had John, Sue, Chris and Lauren over for Mother's Day yesterday and had a great time visiting with them! Some exciting news...Chris and Lauren have set a wedding date for June 27 th, 2009, Kaileigh and maybe Aubrie are going to be Flower Girls, too cute!

Hello Again! I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day! I just wanted to give you all an update on Little Miss Aubrie. I took her to the Pediatrician last Monday and she weighed 11 lbs. 5 oz. As you can see, she's a great eater, we've nicknamed her Hungry Hippo. She is still on the reflux medicine and will remain on it until she is one. I took her off of the Mylicon Drops but give it to her when it's absolutely necessary. Her Pediatrician said it was okay to wean her from the drops if she seemed to be doing fine without them. As far as sleeping goes...she's still in the Papasan Swing but the thing is, she'll sleep for a good seven hours in the swing but when we try the crib she's up every two hours. What we're trying to do is put her in the crib during the day so at least that way she's use to it and by three months we hope to have her sleeping in the crib throughout the night, we'll keep our fingers crossed. I hope you all are doing well and enjoying the blog. Have a great week!

Love Always,

Kat

Hi Everyone! Did you all think I dropped off the face of the earth? As you can imagine, I've been pretty busy lately, a good kind of busy though. So while I have a free minute, let me give you and update on how everyone is doing.

Aubrie is doing great! I took her to the Pediatrician last Thursday and she weighed 10 lbs. 11 oz.! I took her because she was getting very fussy after feedings and would throw up a lot of her milk and also ball up as if she were in pain. The Pediatrician recommended Mylicon Drops for her gas and she's on reflux medicine for the throwing up. She seems to be doing a lot better since on the medicine. Oh, and the other night she slept from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m., Rusty and I could hardly believe it. The only problem is we're putting her to sleep in her baby papasan swing and once she is in her crib, she will only sleep for an hour before getting up and crying. I think tonight we may try to put her in her crib first thing to see how she does.

As far as Kaileigh's concerned, she's doing great as well. She's such a wonderful big sister. She reads to Aubrie and rubs her head, back and limbs and sometimes even gets to hold her with our supervision. She did scare me the other day though when she asked Aubrie if she wanted a Cheeto, I can't leave the two alone together just yet.

Well life is pretty good right now. We have our moments but don't we all, nothing a little glass of wine won't cure.

Rusty and I are looking forward to a date night tomorrow, our first one since we brought Aubrie home! My Mom and Steve are going to babysit...good luck! And we look forward to our visit from John, Sue, Chris and Lauren next week!!! I hope you all are doing well and have a great May!

Love Always,

Kat

I just had to post a picture of Kaileigh on her new swing set. Rusty set it up just a few days after Aubrie came home and Kaileigh can't get enough of it!

Aubrie's Birthday, April 3rd, 2008

I love my Big Sister Kaileigh!

Just look how I've grown...April 11th, 2008

Finally!

Hello Family and Friends! I am pleased to announce the newest arrival of our family, Aubrie Grace Field. Aubrie was born on April 3rd, 2008 at 7:34 p.m. She weighed in at 8 lbs. 15 oz. and was 20 1/2" long. She surpassed her big sister by 2 oz. and 1/2 ". She is an angel sent from above and we feel truly blessed to have her in our lives.

Big Sister Kaileigh is doing a great job with her new title! She is constantly checking on her and asking Aubrie how she's doing. The first day home was a bit hard with Kaileigh wanting to revert back to her crib, but since then, she has retired to her "Big Girl" bed. It's amazing how big Kaileigh seems compared to Aubrie, it's like she grew up overnight. My wish for the two is that they will be best of friends and never fight over boy or clothes and always obey and listen to their Mommy and Daddy.

I feel like the luckiest person in the world. I am grateful for my healthy family, my loving and supportive husband and for the constant love and support from family and friends. I feel like my family is complete and I intend to savor every precious moment. I know there are going to be bumps in the road but know that Rusty and I will be able to surpass them together, as a team.

Thank you all for your love, it is the greatest gift of all! I will continue to keep you posted on any new updates so be sure to check back soon.

Love you lots!
Kat, Rusty, Kaileigh, Aubrie, and Journie
