Wendy and Jeff's Blog: March 2009

Baby Micah

I was looking back at some pictures of Micah in the first few weeks after he was born to see if Kaia and Micah resemble each other at all. I think certain angles I see a little similarity but I am surprised by how much they don't seem to look alike. I know it may sound funny because I know that lots of siblings don't look the same but I feel like I really thought they would look like each other. Hmmm.... funny.

Pam, Jake, Alex and Dean visit

Well somehow I didn't get any pictures of Alex but here are a few of the others. I loved seeing Micah and Dean hang out. I think they will be great friends as they get older. Maybe Pam and Jake will have a girl next to give Kaia a playmate when we visit. : )

Pam, we'll see you again in a few weeks.

Kaia and Micah

Kaia is getting to be so cute. And Micah is such a good big brother. I had to add a couple more pictures. : )

Dad and Susan come up to see us

We had lots of fun with my Dad and Susan. They totally spoiled us rotten. Making breakfast, taking Micah to the park, reading with Micah, playing with Micah, holding Kaia, doing jobs around the house. We had a great time.

Thanks for the visit. We'll see you again soon.

Walk to the park

We took a walk to the park. I wish I had gotten a better picture. Kaia didn't cry the whole time but it seems that was the only picture I got of her. Micah was so cute. I told him that Kaia had never been on this walk before and what did he want to show her? He spent a lot of the walk stopping to show Kaia stuff he thought was interesting. He has been such a good big brother.

Some favorites

These are some of my favorite pictures from week 1 after Kaia's birth. She is so cute.

More Kaia Pictures

We are lovin' our little girl.

Kaia Pamela Budd

Here she is.

First bath.

Kaia Pamela Budd was born on March 10, 2009 at 11:19AM. She weighed in at 8lbs. 7ounces, and is 21 inches long. We went into labor around 4:30AM and we headed to the hospital at 7:30AM. Dropped Micah off with the Mauldwin's and got to Kaiser about 8:00AM. We progressed quickly, got an epideral about 9:00AM, started pushing about 10:45AM, and the rest is history. Kaia was born with the umbillical chord very tightly wound around her neck, so she came out still and blue. We were so worried but the doctors did a great job, got her breathing and she is just fine. We are really having fun getting to know Kaia.

Happy Birthday Luann

We celebrated Luann's birthday with her on Saturday. Micah and I have been reading a book about little bunnies who show their love by making a basket for their mom filled with flowers and blackberries. We decided to make a basket for Grandma Lulu. Micah picked the yellow roses and I picked the pink. We bought some blackberries and filled the basket.

Grandma loved it.

Micah was really into Maggie. I don't know how into Micah Maggie is. I think she more tolerates him. Micah doesn't have a whole lot of luck playing with her but he tries.

Micah has been doing this thing where he likes to get into Jeff's shirt with him. It is pretty funny to watch. Maggie wanted in on the excitement also.

Grandpa Kevin gave Micah an armchair cover to put on his head but Micah ended up taking it off before I got the camera out. I did end up with a picture of Ashley trying it on. : )
