Ivy's first check up.

Well we made it through our first weekend at home with Ivy.
She's been a busy little thing.

Ivy and daddy shared her first bath at home. She does NOT like her baths. She screams so loud when we get her naked or even just change her diaper. We hope/think she will like bathtime more once we can submerge her in the warm water.

Saturday we went to Keizer to see Great Grandma Holly and the salem grandparents. Ivy loves the car. She falls asleep immediately once we get going. She doesn't love the stop lights though. Each time the car stops she gives a little grunt to let Ben know he needs to step on it.

Our visit was really nice. We spent the day with grandma and grandpa Swinehart and auntie Andrea. We finally realized that Ivy looks like Papa Rod when she's sleeping. She's definitely a Swinehart. Then Joanne got out Ben's baby book and we saw a picture of him as an infant. Ivy and her daddy are IDENTICAL when she is awake and alert.

Sunday we spent the afternoon and evening with grandma and grandpa davis, uncle Julian, uncle Keegan and auntie Morgan watching Ivy's first superbowl. Although it wasn't the outcome we had hoped for, we had a great time. Unfortunately all of the pictures that were taken are on mom's camera and that's NOT digital. :-)

Today was Ivy's first check up. Dr. Ollor said she is doing great. She looks wonderful, her jaundice is going away and the gas is just her little system trying to figure things out.
I was surprised that she hasn't gained any weight. When I look at her she looks bigger, but I guess not. She still weighs in at 7 lbs 5 oz which is what she weighed when we left the hospital.
We have another appt next Monday morning so we'll see how much progress she's made.

Auntie Vikki stopped by to visit and meet Miss Ivy. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture. We'll have to have lunch soon and take a pic. :-)

Uncle Jake also stopped by to visit Miss Ivy. Ivy must seem small to Jake who's niece was born in October and weighed 9 lbs at birth!

We are still adjusting to a different schedule, but overall I'd say we are doing well and we are DEFINITELY enjoying our little Miss Ivy.
