A few more details

I wanted to write a few more things before I forgot. Back in March Ash came to me one day and said "mom I think the baby will be born on May 26th or 27th" I told her I hoped it was earlier. Well after we found out our induction date (25th) she kept telling me she thought it would be the 26th. I told her no way it would be the 25th since I was on the schedule, she is not letting me forget this! How funny that she called it!!

I also wanted to write about how we came up with Lyvi's name. When we found out we were pregnant we decided the middle name would be either Kyle or Kylie depending on whether it was a boy or girl. We actually had a boy name picked out (a first for us) and had a list of girls names. It took us awhile to even agree on a few girl names, my top ones were Alexa and Ambrey. We also had a few others we liked but nothing seemed right. So, we spent one morning looking through the book together and writing down any possibles. We came across Olivia (which I thought was cute but I don't like Oli), and Ky suggested an A instead of an O. We looked up spellings and found one we liked, after this he was hooked. He kept saying "I think we have found the name" I wasn't giving up on Alexa so easily. I though Alyvia was cute but it did take me awhile to come completely around to it, I did love Lyvi right from the start. Anyway, we agreed that we had to see her first before we were sure. Ky loves the fact that he finally named one of our children!! I think that is why she has him so wrapped around her finger!

I took her in last week to have her billirubin levels checked, they are always fine so I never worry. I am glad that the doc we go to now can do it in the office instead of sending us to the hospital that takes 4 hours to draw blood! Anyway, she was up to 6.10, even the doc seemed surprised but she is an awesome eater. I weighed her today and she is 8 pounds even, holy cow!! She is so small that most of the clothes I have don't fit, they are so big on her. After
Ash I never bought newborn stuff since I have giganto babies, go figure now I would need them. I am hoping that maybe things will start fitting better in the next couple of weeks. I did switch her over to soy. She was still having some problems with the projectile vomiting every now and then, but it wasn't nearly as violent as it was before the sensitive formula. I hope it helps more but it is hard to tell with her since she is so good. She only wakes up once at night and can sleep through anything!! She really is the best baby ever! She loves to look around and sit up and she is holding her head up really well, already. I think she is already trying to catch up to her sisters!

I have felt so great that it has been hard to rest. I want to catch up on all the things I haven't been able to do for months. Yeah this caused me to back-slide a little in my recovery so now I am resting more, or at least trying. I have dropped down below my pre-prego weight in less than a week after delivery, a new record for me! I can also get my pants on and zipped up, what a happy day!

The girls are finishing up school today! I am excited to not have to get up early but cautious of the three of them together everyday all day! They both got some neat prizes over the year for their accomplishments. I think we have enough free ice creams and meals at Wingers to supply us for the entire summer! Kaite won the Arbor day coloring contest a couple of weeks ago and won a tree. She was so excited to plant it and name it, but I think she over watered it. The tree isn't looking very good and she is so disappointed. She was so cute taking care of it though.

Ky's birthday is on Saturday and we are going to play it low key. I am up for something but he keeps reminding me Lyvi isn't even 2 weeks yet, why can't I remember that! The girls are so excited for his birthday (I think more than he is) they have so many things planned.

I turned Kami loose with my camera the other day and she took 676 photos in two days! She had so much fun with it. Here are some of the photos I found on my camera when I got it back.
Kami and Mar
Kami being a ham!
Ky says maybe we will have another photographer in the family.
