2 Weeks Old!

Kasey turned two weeks old on Thursday. She had a check-up with Dr. Hannah. She has almost regained weight lost in the hospital. She now weighs 8.0 lbs. Whoo hoo!

Many people have commented on how much PINK she wears...so had to take her 2 week photo in her green/chocolate outfit to proved that she does wear more than PINK! I do like the pink, but almost all of her newborn and 0-3 month clothes were gifts. I did buy this outfit though! Gotta love Target!

The new "fashion statement" for Miss Kasey is LEG WARMERS! We are bringing the 80s back! Aren't these too cute? Nana Jay bought them in the green, pink, and in a cream color with little roses! I love dressing both of my girls!



Caeleigh is now on Spring Break. She needed the break to get through the rest of the year! We plan to relax next week...meet our cousin Brooke and Wes for lunch....maybe go see Monsters Vs. Aliens...and shop for some spring clothes at Justice (our favorite store for Caeleigh)...hopefully the weather will allow for some walks!



Caeleigh will start softball again after Spring Break. Yay! Last year she was selected as Most Improved by her coaches. Hopefully she'll continue to have as much fun as she did last year!




One last great shot of my girls for you all! Caeleigh is such a big help with her sister. She is much more confident in holding her and carrying her. Now if I could just get her to change the dirty diapers!! (She'll do wet ones with help!)

Have a great week folks!

XOXO,
Sarah

Happy Birthday Sean

Today is Sean's Birthday...I won't say how many years young he is...he's a little stressed about aging! Just wanted to say,

Happy Birthday...we love you!!!

1 Week Old!

Kasey was 1 week old yesterday! Big Girl!!!

We both are getting along really well. I had a blood pressure check and it is still high, so my doctor put me on medication to lower it. I have to go back next Thursday for another check. Kasey is feeding about every 3-3 1/2 hours and taking 2 oz. of formula each time. Sometimes she wants 3....but I think that happens when I let her sleep and she goes 4 hours between feedings, so I'm really going to stick to the schedule to keep her feeding 3-3 1/2 hours. I did that with Caeleigh and she was sleeping through the night (11p-6am) by about 3 months old. That would be heaven to repeat!! :)

We plan on enjoying a quiet weekend this weekend. Grandma Shirley is going to take Caeleigh to a movie on Saturday and my mom and grandma may come visit on Sunday. Kasey has her 2 week check up next Thursday. Caeleigh Jane has one more week of school and then Spring Break. I think she is ready to be at home to help her momma!

Have a great weekend everyone!

XOXO,

Sarah

Hiccups

This child hiccuped after nearly every time I ate in utero. She continues to hiccup after almost every feeding! And these are NOT quiet hiccups! I had to record it for you.

Per request....PHOTOS!!

Welcome Baby Kasey

Proud Daddy!

Big Sister Caeleigh loves Lil' Sister Kasey!

Caeleigh and Kasey at home

My Crew, Happy to be HOME!!

Welcome Kasey!

Kasey Joann Reaves arrived Thursday, March 12, 2009 at 8:14pm. She weighed 8lbs; 2 oz. She was 20 inches long. "Kasey" comes from my mom's maiden name "Kasemeyer" and "Joann" is Sean's mom's middle name.

I won't be able to upload better pics until we get home (I'm using Sean's laptop from work and don't want to install my Kodak software on it!) But hopefully this one I copied from facebook will work!

We are both doing very well. Looking forward to big sister Caeleigh's visit after lunch. :)

Caeleigh's Birthday

Happy 8th Birthday Caeleigh!!

On March 6, 2001 I was lying in bed (on bed rest with high blood pressure) for like the 5th week. I hadn’t felt right all day. I started counting contractions around 2 or 3pm that afternoon. Sometime around 4pm I started to get up to freshen up (the wives from Sean’s old workplace were having a shower for me that evening)and I thought I had “peed” my pants…just a bit. In fact everytime I would stand up from sitting I had that feeling. Around 6pm I started getting these knife-stabbing pains in my stomach (apparently those were contractions and my water had actually broken). I called Sean…he was at Kmart getting a basketball pump (the men from his job were going to play ball at Hinkle Fieldhouse). I called my doctor and she wanted me to go straight to St. Vincent’s. So Sean came home and we left.

Triage confirmed my water had broken and put me in a Labor/Delivery Room. I got my pain meds, an epidural, started pushing around 11pm and Caeleigh was born on a Tuesday, March 7, 2001 at 1:57AM. THREE hours of pushing...UGH!! And they had to vacuum her out! That was eight years ago…I can’t believe I remember it!

So my baby girl is now 8…and she’s about to be a big sister!

We had a fabulous birthday party. Caeleigh chose a Barbie Ballerina package for invitations, gift bags, and her cake.




Caeleigh invited 3 “old” friends and 3 “new” friends from her new school. Everyone actually got along. They were just LOUD! Fortunately, we had 76 degree weather (a rarity for Indiana the first week of March). So mom and I got the bubbles, soccer ball, jump ropes, etc. out and got them to play Red Light/Green Light. It was nice to enjoy the wonderful weather!

Nana (my mom) came to help me with the party. It was nice to have the help. Caeleigh was glad to have Nana’s attention. I think she realized that it might be her LAST time by herself with Nana. I was exhausted so Nana and Caeleigh went to mass, then to Bob Evans for dinner and ran some errands at Wal-Mart. They had a nice “date.”

Opening Nana’s presents.

Sunday, Sean’s mom, grandma, aunt, and cousin (with her hubby and son) came over to share in Caeleigh’s birthday. Grandma Shirley brought a pink/purple Ice Cream cake from Dairy Queen with “princess things” on it…Caeleigh loved it…but didn’t eat it. She would have rather had the St. Pat’s mini chocolate cupcakes Grandma Shirley also brought! It was great to see Brooke, Brad and Wes again. It was also nice to see Aunt Ruby and Grandmas Bonnie/Shirley!

The Ice Cream Cake and Daddy (being goofy!)

Caeleigh and Baby Wes….yes, she still sucks her thumb (we’re working on it!)

Caeleigh with some of her new DS games.

All in all, we had a fabulous weekend and I hope Caeleigh enjoyed it too!!
Now, I just need to wait on this baby to come. It will probably be 3 March birthdays in a row because Sean’s is March 23 … and I guess the baby will be somewhere in between him and Caeleigh!


I'll update after my appt. on Thursday morning!

XOXO,
Sarah
