Love to all!!!

Jayci's 1st Christmas!

Jayci got a visit from Santa on Tuesday night and she loved it! Santa had to make an early visit because her big sister Molly had to go back to her Mom's on Wednesday. Jayci received some clothes and toys and we can't wait to see her with all of these. On Thursday we went to Uncle Billy's for Christmas day and we had so much fun as we so enjoyed spending time with family and there was a lot of good food to enjoy as well.

I have to go back to work on Monday but Jayci is looking forward to having three whole days with just her and her daddy. I am not looking forward to having to go back to work as I am going to miss spending all day with her but she is going to have a wonderful time in daycare and I am sure she will be taken such good care of and as she gets older she will make many friends.

First visit with Santa and second doctor's appointment.

Jayci has had a lot going on in the past couple of days. First off me-me and grandpa came to visit and we took Jayci to see Santa for the first time! Jayci did very well and I thought she wouldn't let us take her pacifier out for the picture but she did and the picture turned out very well.

The second important event Jayci had was her second doctor's appointment. Jayci's latest statistics are:

11 lbs 12 ozs

22 1/4 inches long

16 7/8 inches for her head

Jayci did very well and the doctor said she is a little small for her age but that there is nothing to worry about and that she is very healthy. She did have to get four shots (two in each thigh) that the she didn't like very well but her daddy took us out to Red Lobster afterwards and she fell asleep during dinner and is sleeping it off as I am typing this out. We go back to the pediatrician in two months for her next checkup. My maternity leave ends on the 29th of December and Jayci will start daycare on the 5th of January.

Pictures

Over the last couple of days we have been trying to take some more pictures and here are just a couple of the ones that we got.

We really haven't had a lot going on in the last week as we have just been hanging around the house and trying to get the house decorated a little for Christmas. We are hopping that next weekend when me-me (that would be grandma for those who didn't know) and grandpa and maybe aunt Cheryl come to see us that we will go see Santa!!!

I am a high tech baby!!

Jayci has more blogs then she knows what to do with and now she has her very own website at http://www.jaycimarie.com/ and this is addition to the blog that aunt Cheryl has setup for her at http://www.bossdoss.com/jaycimarie/

I am sure in time we will try to condense everything into one place but for now since I am updating my blog and Cheryl is working on hers please check out all of them and leave comments so we know what you think.

First doctor's appointment.

We took Jayci last Tuesday for her first trip to the pediatrician. Scott met us at the doctors office and when the nurse took us back she went ahead and weighed her and also measured her. She is now up to 10 lbs 10 ozs, 21 1/2 inches long and her head is 15 1/2 inches around. She also had to get her heel pricked to draw blood and she got a shot in her upper thigh. She did really well with being pricked but when she got the shot she turned shades of red I hadn't seen before! The doctor checked her from head to toe and she got a clean bill of health. We have her 2 month checkup on December 16th.

I'M ONE MONTH OLD TODAY!

Today Jayci is one month old!

A lot has been going on in this last month as Jayci has gotten bigger, she is eating more, she is more aware of her surroundings, she will now smile at you when she is not asleep and she is holding her head up more and more. When she is on her back she is beginning to look like she is making the starting attempts to figure out how to roll over. I know I still look at her in amazement and at times I can't believe she is here. I have loved watching Scott being a father to her and being a mother is awesome. Molly and Brittany have been such good big sisters and I know they will always be there for her. It has also been incredible to see mom and dad with their new grandchild and I know that Jayci is so very lucky to have such a loving family. It is just a couple of short weeks before our little girl gets to meet the rest of her family for Thanksgiving and I know we are all looking forward to that.

Love to everyone!
