A New Cousin!

Athea has a new cousin!!!!

Henry Olin was born on Friday, September 30! Check out his shaka!

Cousin Henry Olin  8 lbs, 13 oz and 20 3/4 long

Athea is debuting her "Lil Cuz" onesie that Grandma Lil made. She made a "Big Sis" for Cousin Alexa and a "Lil Bro" for Cousin Henry. So, Athea got the "Lil Cuz."She is saluting the birth of Cousin Henry! (side note... that is a preemie onesie that was quite a bit snug!)

 

Happy Birthday Grandma Patti

More Weight Gain!

Once again, I tackled the task of taking Athea to a doctor's appointment since Ben had to work. This appointment was with a specialist to see if Athea qualifies to get the RSV shots to protect her from getting Respiratory Syncytial Virus which is a common illness among children. For premature babies, RSV can lead to more serious illnesses. FYI.

Anyway, since Athea will need to be in a daycare during the RSV season and she is still small we thought we would check it out. She most likely won't be a candidate for insurance to cover the monthly injections since she only meets one criteria (needs two)... but on the bright side... she gained more weight! She is now 6 lb, 5 oz!

Here is she is after the appointment... she looks bigger in her car seat!

Pics for Daddy

Since Ben is back at work, Athea and I have mini photo shoots daily to send to daddy so he can see what's going on at home. Here are a few choice pics!

One Month Old

Guess who is now one month old??? That's right... Athea! When describing her size, we started telling people that her mid section is like a chipotle burrito. So... armed with her one month sticker (Thanks Aunt Malia) and a chipotle burrito we took some photos of our one month old! 

Here are some other favorites of Athea at one month... I know... we have a ton of favorites!

Happy Birthday Cousin Alexa

Cousin Alexa is TWO years old! WOW!!!!!

Check out this adorable pic that Aunt Malia sent of Cousin Alexa looking at her birthday wish! How cool is that???? Technology is so wonderful!

2nd Doctor's Appointment

The 2nd doctor's appointment I tackled on my own... Dr. Foster said I looked calm! It definitely isn't easy doing everything on your own... I admire any stay at home parent and all single parents. WOW! We got through it though and she gained more weight!

Dr. Foster was impressed that she gained nearly a pound within the past 10 days. Due to her consistent weight gain she doesn't need to see her until her 2 month appointment. This made me nervous!

28 days old

5 lbs, 4 oz

Check out the pictures below... everyone is exhausted! When Ben got home from work he passed out with Athea and Lorenzo (although... Lorenzo didn't go anywhere)!
