Bath Time!

Jace’s umbilical cord fell off pretty quickly, last week some time. There was a tiny bit of moisture/yellow looking stuff in there still, but I Googled and found out that the advice I had been given with all three kids was outdated and as long as the cord dries completely afterwards, newborns can take normal baths right away.

He was a little sleepy but we needed to get ready to go out to eat, so we went ahead and put him in. He immediately started fussing but didn’t cry at all.

We cleaned him with a little Burt’s Bee’s baby wash and then got him out. Nothing like a clean baby!

After his bath, the five (!) of us went to Buffalo Wild Wings to eat dinner. Jace did really well in his first restaurant – he slept the whole time, even at the grocery store afterwards!

Game Day

Besides a few minutes of a game that came on when Joe was feeding Jace in the hospital, Saturday was his first official UK game. And of course he had to wear his UK onesie!

Hanging out with my uncle Jim..

and our family friend, Walt.

Go Cats!

Two Weeks Old

Technically Jace was one week and six days old when I took these yesterday, but we’ll just round up.

One Week Old

Jace turned one week on January 23rd. Here are some pictures we took throughout that week…

He loves his swing!

He sleeps in our room in this Sleep N Play every night. He’ll be doing that until he’s sleeping through the night, hopefully in about 6 weeks or so if he’s like the girls were!

So sweet. This yellow outfit was Summer’s, that she got from my Nanaw… it was the first baby outfit anyone ever gave her.

I think he already has Joe’s big square manly hands.

Hanging out with Daddy

It’s kind of hard to tell in these pictures, and it was MUCH worse, but Camryn got strep last week and was prescribed Amoxicillen. After about 4 days, she developed a horrible rash that almost looked like chicken pox. My mom took her to the doctor, where we found out she is allergic to Penicillen. It’s been almost a week since then and she finally doesn’t have a rash any more. It was so horrible… bright red splotches and spots over her entire body. She was miserably itchy even after taking the medicine that was supposed to help. I am so glad it’s over with and so is she! I hate that she has an allergy, but it could definitely be something much worse.
