The 2 month mark

So everyone knows Kailey is about to be 2 months old. Man, time has really flown by so fast. But I have to say I love it. Im so blessed that I get to spend so much time with Kailey, Im with her everyday almost all day. My boss is great…hes working with me so much now that Im back at work; hes allowing me to work Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays from 5 to close. My mom gets off at 4 so she gets Kailey until Brian gets home around 6. I still feel the same as my last post with her being pasted around and treated as a baby doll and worried about her catching some kind of sickness from someone but Im trying to be more opened minded but it seems as though the more I do open my mind the more people take advantage. But on to lastest on my beautiful baby girl. She had her 2 month checkup Monday. She is now 11 pounds 4 ounces; 24 inches long; and her head is 15 and 1/2 inches in diameter. Its amazing how much shes grown, even the nurse and doctor couldn’t believe it!! They both measured her, the nurse twice and the doctor once because they couldn’t beileve how long shes gotten. And along with the suprise of her growth, she got shots. It was terrible for the both of us. As soon as she started crying I felt like crying but I knew I had to stay strong for her. I started back work last week and of course leaving her was hard but today was harder than any day so far. I know when I was younger there was no one like my mama when I was sick or felt bad and I knew she was going to be sore so it killed me to leave her. I did feel good about leaving her with her daddy, who took off work early just to come be with her. Hes such a great daddy to her, it amazes me. I just love my family. I couldn’t have asked for anything better than Brian and Kailey. So thats the latest. If we dont post before, I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year.

Halloween 08′

As everyone knows yesterday was Kailey’s first Halloween. Of course shes not old enough to go trick-or-treating but we still dressed her up.

My Short Life as a Father….(So Far)

Well first of all I would like to say thanks for all the people that were at the hospital Friday to see Kailey…and also to those that came to see Heather and I as well.  This week has been a stressful one, not because of the learning experience that me and my wife are going through but because of a few health problems that have now been taken care of with the help of a few minor medications, and some Karo syrup all is well again in the Walters’ home.

Last Friday morning I was awaken by Heather at about 3:30am or so and she said that she was having contractions and showed me the times she written down and i noticed that they had steadily gotten closer and closer from the time she started writing about at 2am till the current time and they were between 3 and 8 min apart so  waited until about 5am and she called her mom and my mom and told here we were getting ready to go to the hospital we left about 5am and about 5:30 we were at the hospital and in a room.  After many Dr. visits and things I don’t believe some of you want to hear about at 1:17pm our baby girl Kailey Marie came into this world and I cried my eyes out I could not believe that we had made such a beautiful thing.  I want to thank my mom and Heather’s mom for being there with me and Heather I couldn’t have shared it with any two other people that mean more to us than them.

here is the first pic that was taken of Kailey…
