Ordinary Chaos

Kayleigh is obsessed with the Easter Bunny. I had completely forgotten about taking the girls to see him/her/it until I was at the indoor play park at the mall. I got into a conversation with one of the other moms who mentioned they were going to go visit. So I decided I would take the girls down as there were only 3 more days until Easter. Kayleigh got so excited when she saw him she could barely stand in line. After she had her photo taken I told her it was time to go and she got a huge frown on her face, crossed her arms and closed her eyes really tight. Maybe she thought she had made herself invisible and would be able to sit there all day. Anyway she was reluctant to get down and as we were waiting for our photos to print she saw the next child sit on the bunny's lap. Kayleigh started yelling "EASTABUNNY HUG KISS HUG KISS" So we of course had to go back and give the bunny a kiss so she would not be heartbroken. The rest of the day all she could talk about was the eas...

You can tell they are sisters but it is not hard to tell them apart.. Kayleigh Birth Laurelyn Birth Kayleigh 3 days old Laurelyn 3 days old Kayleigh 2 weeks Laurelyn 2 weeks

..and Grow and Grow. So far Laurelyn has gained 1/2lb and 1/2 inch per week in her 3 short weeks. This is amazing to us considering from the start Kayleigh has never gained an entire pound in a month. Kayleigh didn't even double her birth weight until her 18 month check up! However when you start out at 10lbs 6oz it takes a little longer to get there. So for all of you who have not yet heard we are now the proud parents to two beautiful daughters. Laurelyn Louise joined us on Thursday February 21, 2008 at 8:27am, weighing 8lbs 3oz and measuring 19 3/4" long. She was evicted at 38 weeks 6 days gestation via planned c-section. We were a little nervous how big she would be after Kayleigh came out 10lbs 6oz and 23" at just 36 weeks 0 days gestation. Being that this was a second c-section, recovery has been surprisingly easier than the first time around. Laurelyn spends most of the day sleeping, eating, and looking around in quiet contentment. The complete opposite of...

I will start with a few recent photos and then try to throw a few less recent ones in here and there. This is my first photo post so I hope it works.. Of course I have to start with the girls. Kayleigh is such a proud big sister. Ok the hour just hit me so I will post this and then hopefully I will be back again to post more soon.
