Bottle Semi-Success

Ok, last post for today. Edy had he first breast milk from a bottle. She seemed to do OK, though it seemed she got just as much down the front of her made it into her stomach. I'm hoping with bottle feeding, it will let NewMom get out of the house a little more often and for longer a longer time.

Some Make-Up Photos

In case you aren't getting tired of seeing pictures of my kid - here are more from that Birthday until the post the two weeks following. I particularly like the one where she is smiling - but not at me - she's just sleeping and having a very good dream. look at those dimples.

Three Generations

Grandma Tonjia and Grandpa Stan were over yesterday with cousins Bridgett and Michael. For some reason we didn't take any digital photos with the cousins, but did of of Grandma and Grandpa with NewDad and NewMom and Edy.

Edy with her eyes open

So my Mom said that there are no pictures with her eyes open. That's because there is so little time with her eyes open.

But I waited like the Omaha Wild Kingdom photographer and caught these at just the right moment. She hasn't quite learned to smile yet, so that will be another Wild Kingdom adventure!

Two Week Visit

Sorry there's been no entry for a long time, of course, since no one know this is here yet, I don't think it matters.

Edy went to the doctor today and had a great visit. She is back up to her birth weight and is doing great. We even got a "you have a really cute baby" out of one of the nurses, and she's seen a lot of babies, and I'm sure she doesn't say that to every parent.

Edie's Birthday

Today is Edythe Marie Repka-Kolanowski's birthday. She was born at 8:59 AM today after a whirlwind labor. She is 20" long, weighed 8 lbs, 4 oz.

Her Mom woke me up at 2:AM saying her contractions were coming regular enough that we should start timing them. By about 5:AM, they were regular enough that we called the doula, and the midwife - and they both told us to get to the hospital. We arrived at the hospital about 5:45, and were admitted about 6:15. By 9:AM, Edie was born. Sorry I didn't have time to blog during the actual labor.

Both Mom and Edie, as well as NewDad, are healthy, happy, and taking lots of naps.

More photos and thoughts of the day to follow...

Very Pregnant

Hey all, I got TK this very funny (I thought) T-shirt for Christmas, and we decided to take some pictures of her in it. She's feeling VERY pregnant right now, but I'm not sure I want the baby here just yet - I still haven't packed my bag for the hospital.

Baby Shower Pics

The new Mom uploaded some baby shower pics from April, where we received lots of stuff that is pink. See this site for lots of photos of Tashana opening presents. http://picasaweb.google.com/tashana.kolanowski/Babyshowerphotos
