So we took Kimmie in on the 21st of September to have her weight checked and to make sure she was eating enough. When we left the hospital on the 19th she weighed 6lbs 10oz. When we weighed her on the 21st she weighed 6lbs 15oz! She was only four days old!!! Her first real doctors appointment was on the 25th of September where she weighed 7lbs 8oz! She is doing great at nursing as you can tell : ) She didn't like being cold! I can't blame her though. We are just having so much fun with her! On the following Monday a lady came to my house just to see how I was doing and baby and to answer any questions that I might have. (they have lots of awesome programs here) Anyway she brought a scale with her to weigh Kimmie. We weighed her and she was 8lbs 5oz! She almost gained a pound in 3 days! I tell ya! She is getting long. She has a really chubby face! I Love it!!! She is just growing so quickly! Here are some cute pictures of her before we went to her doctors appointment. : )
We have had such a fun time with Grandma Shirley here. Mom and I have pampered ourselves during her visit here. Which was Great and much needed! First we went and got pedicure's done with our friend Susie. Another day we went and got our hair cut! After that we went shopping! So much fun!!! The boys loved having Grandma Shirley here, they would climb into bed with her and snuggle. Malachi was the main one who would do this. He would tell her Grandma I need to come in and sleep with you tonight. They didn't want Grandma to go but they understand that she needed to get back home. Since Grandma's flight was early in the morning we thought it best not to wake up the boys. They all said goodbye to Grandma before they went to bed. Lim, Mom and I decided to stay up. We ended up only getting a couple of hours of sleep! It is hard to say goodbye and we wanted to make the night last I guess. hehehe Not a good activity the next day though. We all had a good time though. Mom and I had taken a nap earlier so we felt energized for a while there. We stayed up, watched movies, talked, and laughed with one another. I sure miss having family close by. It was a great night though. In the morning when it was about time to leave Mom was saying goodbye to Kimmie, when Isaac came down the stairs. He didn't want Grandma to leave and if she had to he was going to make sure he could give her one more hug! Well after Isaac came Malachi and Alma as well. They were all feeling that way. So sweet! I was happy because I was able to take a picture, something I almost forgot to do! So they are all looking their best bright and early in the morning, jammies and all : ) The boys went with Daddy and Grandma to the airport while Kimmie and I stayed home to get some more rest. We want to say a big Thank You to Grandma Shirley for coming and helping us. We all Love and Miss You!!!! : )
I want to say sorry for not posting very much. We have had quiet the last couple of weeks. Shortly after Grandma Shirley left Alma became sick. He had the flu. We took him in and they confirmed it was the flu.(I talked with my doctor later and was told that pretty much anyone who has the flu right now has the swine flu!) Then Lim was the next in line to get it since he had been taking care of Alma. Isaac couldn't stay away from both of them so he was next and then Malachi. We changed our guest room into the sick room! Lim and all the boys who were sick slept in there. Trying to contain it! I have kept all the boys far from Kimmie and myself! Not a fun thing to do! I have been feeling like a horrible mother! I want to cuddle them and to let them love on their new sister who they all adore and love, but I wanted to keep Kimmie and myself far from their illness. I have been praying like no other for it to keep away from Kimmie and myself. We have been given blessings and with the power of those blessings the boys are now good to go and Lim is too! Yay!! I have been also faced with some other physical health problems during this time which was making it very difficult for me to do much, (not that I could do much in the first three weeks). It has been hard and very painful but I am grateful for these trials that we have been faced with. One my testimony on the power of the Priesthood and Prayer has been strengthened. Two I have been able to see the Lords hand in these trials and have seen his tender mercies. I am grateful for the gospel, and to have a new addition to our family. I can't wait to start taking pictures with all of my children! To show all of you all the cute things our children are doing! I know that I wouldn't have been able to grow or to rely upon the Savior so much had I not gone through these trails. I can truly say that I am grateful for our Savior and the trials that he gives me so that I can be the person I am supposed to be. I do have pictures of Kimmie that I haven't posted yet. : ) I will be posting those soon. : )
