Ch, ch, ch, changes
Monday, September 24, 2007
I can not stand when someone comes to see Rebecca and says how much she has grown or how much she has changed. I especially hate when someone says "She's gotten so big!" It breaks my heart. She is not even two weeks old, and I am not ready to think about her growing up. I know that it is inevitable; it has to happen, but I do not have to like it. Time seems like it is going by too fast. I really try to enjoy every minute I have with my baby girl, even when it is two in the morning and I am dead tired. My favorite time with her is right after she has eaten. She puts her head on my chest and sleeps. It feels like heaven. I also love when she is nursing sometimes and she takes a break. She will pull her head away from me and look up towards my face. She can make the cutest faces, especially with her lips. In case you can not tell, I love being a mother. I tell Rebecca that I have waited for her for 27 years. I have wanted to be a mom since I was 3 years old.

Sleep?
Friday, September 21, 2007
The doctor's appointment went great. My baby, who came into this world at 8lbs. 5 oz., and left the hospital just one week ago at 7lbs. 12 0z, weighed in today at 8 lbs. 11 oz. That's right, in one week she gain almost a pound. Probably because we are feeding her every 3 hours. I am not just nursing her, we are having to supplement her with 1-2oz. of formula after every meal. She has what we call the Ambrose Stomach, which means she loves to eat and eat and eat. But because she has gained so much weight, the doctor told me that during the day we only have to feed her every 3-4 hours, and at night we feed her when she wakes up. i could have kissed the doctor when she said this. Tonight though, I am sure she will want to be feed every 2 hours just because she knows I could get some sleep. The doctor said that everything else looked fine. AND her umbilical cord finally fell off this morning, so we get to give her a bath tomorrow. I am still not sure if she is going to have an inny or and outty. I will keep you posted.
Well, this blog has kind of been all over the place. I am going to try to blog more often, since I am able to get around a little better now and hopefully get more sleet at night. I will end this entry with a few of my favorite pictures from the week.

Worth It All
Monday, September 17, 2007
We had to stay in recovery for an hour and a half, or until I could wiggle my toes. Finally around 3:30am, we were wheeled into my hospital room where our parents had been waiting patiently. There we finally revealed her name, Rebecca Haws Kimball. Rebecca is my mother's middle name; Haws is John's mother's middle name. She was born September 11th and 1:25am. She weighed 8lbs. 5oz. She was 20 3/4 inches long. Her daddy and I think that she is the most perfect thing every created. Everything we went through, was worth it.
