Hee Haw

Today we laughed all day. It was a comedy of errors. (And Shannon topped off the day...but I am going to let her tell you about it. If she doesn't do it justice though, I will elaborate later.)

We gave the baby a bath this morning--so fun. Bathtime is my favorite. (Rylee's bathtime.)

No compute

Not much happening but even if I had exciting things to write about I can't get near the computer when my John is here. He is always on it...working. He works while he is at Shannon's in between holding the baby. And the minute we get home is gets on it once again, loads American Family and works. He really knows how to vacation! Ha Ha

I'm still here....

Not much to write about, not much going on-John and I are at Shannon's helping with the baby each day and just plain enjoying her. Especially Grandpa he is making the most of his short vacation and loving her up! Right now our little Sweetie is sleeping, Shannon grabbed this time to get outside and tan...but it must be too hot as she is sitting in the shade reading. John is going outside to join her and I am going to relax with a cup of tea.

I'm so excited

...and I just can't hide it...my husband flys in tomorrow! All he wants to do is hold his new grand daughter, spend time with Shannon and me, and relax. I am going to make him all his favorite foods, let him sleep late and just plain spoil him!
Angel doesn't understand it yet...but she will be over-joyed tomorrow to see her daddy.

Icy Hot

I love Icy Hot! My shoulders have been hurting (carrying Rylee I think) so I have been rubbing Icy Hot on them every night. Any excuse for Icy Hot. I love love love the smell of Icy Hot. I could just wear it for perfume. I also love Vicks and it's smell. Am I nuts or does anyone else like weird smells?

Speaking of Ice and Hot I am going to make myself a margarita...Happy Trails.

Wrong for Rylee

Today everything it seems, is wrong for Rylee. She has not had a good day. She hasn't slept at all since 8:00am but she finally fell asleep now and has been for about that 30 minutes. I am blogging quick while Shannon pumps and then I am (thankfully) going home to SLEEP! It has been a busy day for me doing most of the holding, walking and bouncing as Shannon wanted to clean the house before her inlaws come tomorrow. Although she put Rylee in the belly pack and walked her around during some of it. (Still didn't make her happy though.) Oh Oh...I hear little noises from the baby monitor...Shannon is done now so I think I will make my escape quick! Bye...

Right for Rylee

Rylee seems to be doing better! Hurrah! She is eating and sleeping and seems pretty content on the formula. Shannon said she even slept 5 hours in a row last night. Hurrah again!

Things Rylee couldn't live without: (Besides her mom and dad of course.)

1. Sleep Sheep--already told you how great that works with it's sounds that put baby Rylee to sleep.

2. Boppy pillow--Since Rylee has acid reflux issues she needs to sleep propped up. We could use three of these but we are thankful we have one.

3. The stretchy blankets I made her that we swaddle her in all the time. All the sewing and time and effort I put in on all the quilts and blankets...it figures these easy seam around the edges blankets would be the ones that work!

I wonder what will be her favorites in the coming months? I'm sure everything will change soon. As long as she is happy and not in discomfort we will be thankful.
