Kylie 2 Months!!

So its been awhile since i have written and Kylie is getting sooo big :) she went for her 2 month checkup this week.. shes up to 11.5lb which puts her in the 43rd percentile and 23.5in which puts her in the 70th percentile. Shes fianlly out of her newbie diapers !!! She absolutely loves sitting up. she is soo observant these days. she wants to be able to see everything going on around her! its so cute when she is layn down and tries her darnest to sit up! her smiles are more frequent and she likes to babble which is awesome! its like she wants to have a conversation with you.

On September 24th we went to Florida. It was me, Kylie, Chelsea, Cayden, my mom, Kenzie and my mammaw. we drove and much to my suprise Kylie did awesome for the drive there and back. We got to take her to all new things. One day we went to Cocoa Beach. We put her lil bottom half in the water and took some pics. it was awesome..she slept the whole time though haha. Then we were able to take her to Disney World for the day. I bought her a little autograph book so she can look at it when she is bigger. At Disney World we met Repunzel from Tangled, Donald Duck, Mickey, Minnie, Sleeping Beauty, Belle, Cinderella, Pluto and the Chipmunks. It was alot of fun. We went on Cayden and Kenzie's birthday. It was alot of fun i am glad they had a good birthday full of fun ! We also went to Hollywood Studios where we got to meet  Pooh, Mickey again, Mike from Monsters Inc, Handy Manny and a couple characters from Lil Einsteins.

We got home early on my birthday and from that day for the next week was not a good week. Kylie got sick with a tempature. We were at the ER til four am and they thought she had a UTI, her fever would not stay done, at one point at four am it got up to 103.9, it was very scary. After a few trips to the doctor it was concluded that she just had a virus and by Thursday Evening her fever was down. Thank goodness. By Friday she was 100% Kylie. We are very thankful. It is not a good feeling when your baby is sick there was nothing we could do but give her tylenol.

One Month!!

Its hard to believe Kylie turned one month old yesterday!! time sure has flown!! its gone in a blink of an eye...i am not a big fan.. cuz that means within a couple weeks i will be going back to work and i will be dreading every second of it..i already know. shes so much more alert now and will stay awake for HOURS..which makes it difficult for mommy to nap or get anything else done...haha

she has also been a very cranky baby. i think her belly has been bothering her. weve started giving her gripe water which seems to be really helping. she used to get hiccups about every 2 hours..now she may only get them once a day if that :) yay!

we took our first little trip this past weekend too :) we went to my mammaw and pappaws down in Kentucky. It was very nice to get away and be in a world with no cellphone signal and no internet. even though you get in such a habit of checking your phone and facebook.. its nice and relaxing being seperated from it for awhile. Kylie got to go to her first state with mommy and daddy! she was kinda cranky over the weekend though but for the most part id like to think she enjoyed herself at nana and pappys :) i hope we can go again soon!

i was reading yesterday and came across this article..i found it funny and probably so very true. i always ask myself.. i wonder what kylie is thinking or what she would say if she could talk right now..

7 things your baby would say if she could
1. I know you love me, but please stop eating my face. (We can’t help it, her cheeks are just so squooshy.)
2. A little warning would be nice. That thing is cold. I don’t put your toilet paper in the freezer do I? (There’s no wipe warmer in our house.)
3. Yes, I’m eating this. This placemat is considered a delicacy.
4. You think YOU’RE worried about Social Security? (Exciting conversations happen at our house.)
5. I’m only crying cuz I called shotgun.
6. Dad, that was TOTALLY you.
7. Ok, I know I don’t enunciate but I definitely don’t say ga ga goo goo. Who says that anyway?
Or maybe she doesn’t think any of those things. Maybe she just looks at us, studies our faces and desperately longs for the day that she CAN actually talk to us. Maybe she just wants to tell us she loves us.
Yeah, we’ll go with that.

i also have been introduced to the world of shutterfly.. if you havent checked that website out it is def an amazing website. i spent HOURS over a 2 day period creating a photobook of Kylie. I think it turned out pretty awesome and i cant wait to order it and get it in the mail.it was time well spent i must say.

2 weeks yesterday!!

Kylie turned 2 weeks yesterday!! 2 weeks already!! its craziness!! shes already getting so big, i wish we could slow her down a bit!! she started making new noises on Saturday. Mimi came to see her and she was cooing and ahhhing. it shocked me! its fun to hear her make new noises and to see her make new faces!! shes starting to like baths now..yay! she didnt cry yesterday for her bath which is a good thing!!

last night was a rough night for us though. i think shes got some gas in her belly. she was up pretty much all night grunting and pushing like she had to go to the bathroom, even though she has gone to the bathroom with no problem. ive been giving her some gas medicine. i hope that helps her because i feel so bad for her. she seems to have relief when shes laying on her belly. it looks like it hurts her when she gets the pains because she just pulls her legs to her belly and just pushes and grunts. on top of all the what i believe to be gas, shes eating more!! she went from eating about every 3 hrs to almost every 2 and she has been just chugging down some milk!

we went Friday to get her pictures taken with her cousins. that was interesting. needless to say, having two 3 year old boys and an 18 month boy and a newborn lil girl getting pictures is no easy task! Kylie just slept the whole time! she was not caring what those silly boys were doing!! i do believe me and curt are going to take her to go get some family pictures done, before she grows too much more!!

About Miss Kylie :)

Thanksgiving week Curt and I found out we were going to be parents. It was both exciting and scary at the same time. I was lucky and had a pretty symptom free pregnancy. At about 16 weeks we scheduled an appointment at Becoming Mom Spa to find out the sex of our little one. I could not wait any longer! Valentines Day is the day we found out we were having a baby girl and I was very excited. Because I was born with heart problems, we had to go get our baby girl's heart checked to make sure she did not have the defects I was born with. I was very nervous for the appointment but everything turned out ok. Our 20 week ultrasound reconfirmed that we were having a baby girl, halfway through the pregnancy and we couldnt wait! I was still working full time and the summer heat was getting worse! I had tons of swelling and just becamse absolutely miserable! At my 38.5 week appointment my doctor offered to sweep my membranes. I was so uncomfortable at this point. I was peeing every 20 minutes, had shooting pains and braxton hicks. I took him up on the offer. He told me one of four things could happen: 1) nothing 2) I'd become more uncomfortable 3) my water would break 4) contractions would begin. He said if we had no baby by about Sunday evening, then it did not work. I was pretty uncomfortable for the rest of the day, but by bedtime I felt fine. About 130am I woke up with a lot of cramping and stomach pains. I didnt really sleep for more than a half hour at a time and finally about 630am I woke up Curt. We layed in bed for a few hours watching Greys Anatomy and timing my pains. I was having contractions five minutes apart. We called the doctor and about noon on July 23rd, we got to the hospital. They monitored me for about an hour then made me walk for about an hour before monitoring me again. I had a feeling that we were just going to be sent home that day. The doctor came in and told me I was not quite in active labor yet but if I wanted to have my baby girl he would go ahead and break my water. I took him up on that offer. Within about an hour I was moved to a delivery room and my water was broke around 2:30ish. Then the vistors started pouring in! I had tons of support through my labor. My mom, sister, dad, stepmom, amie, mammaw were there the entire time. I had a visit from Curt's dad and brother. And my cousin Britney showed up not too long before pushing. About an hour after my water was broke I was in alot of pain. I asked for my epidural but my doctor wanted my contractions to be stronger and more consistent. I was in so much pain I felt sick. I think most of my pain came from her head pressing down on me. I know I got pretty hateful when my pain was so bad. Finally, they brought in oxytocin to help the contractions along and gave me my epidural. i could not have been more happy! I was in such a better mood after my epidural because I was pain free! I finally was able to start pushing around 12:30am on July 24th. I spent two hours pushing and it was extremely exhausting, but totally worth it! At 2:32am on Sunday July 24, 2011 we welcomed our beautiful daughter Kylie Cheyenne Hensley into the world. She was 8lb 1oz and 19in long. I remember them laying Kylie on my belly and I got a nice good look at her :) She had a head full of hair!! They took her to get her cleaned up and Curt followed her. At this point I was so tired my mind was blank. I remember laying there and I could see all the commotion going on but I had no idea what was going on. Eventually everyone began leaving the hospital, which I don't really remember anyone leaving. Then it was just me, Kylie and Curt. Kylie was crying for about 2 hours after she arrived. The nurse called in the special care nurse to double check her over because at this point she should have calmed down. They double checked her and she was perfectly healthy. She was having trouble latching to eat. We finally got her to eat and was moved downstairs to our room at 5:00am. That morning I didnt get much sleep but a few hours while Kylie was sleeping. The rest of that day was very chaotic. We had visitors about all day and was just completely exhausted. I feel so blessed having so many people in my life and everyone so excited to meet Miss Kylie. The doctor had come in that morning and realized that Kylie was tongue-tied. She was having trouble latching because her poor little tongue wasnt able to reach far enough to stay latched on and it was making her mad. Monday morning the doctor the doctor snipped her frenum, that little piece under your tongue that anchors it to the bottom of her mouth. It was a very fast and simple procedure. There was an instant change in her feeding capabilities. Monday morning came and we were able to leave the hospital about 1pm. I was soo glad to be able to get home. The dogs were very anxious to find out what this little bundle of joy we were bringing inside was all about. They were really excited and within a couple days they calmed down the excitement. Our first night home was def different. Kylie does a great job at night though and I am thankful. I usually have to wake her up to eat! The next few days were busy and full of visitors. That Thursday we took Kylie to her first doctors appointment. She was healthy! Her weight was down to 7lb 6oz but losing weight is normal and she should be back to her birthweight and heavier in no time, especially with the way she has been eating! Her umbilical cord fell off on Friday July 29th and she had her first bath on Sunday July 31st. She was not very happy with a bath and screamed, up until we got her hair wet then she calmed down a bit. Kylie is def a blessing in our lives. She is becoming more alert and staying awake for longer periods of time. I love just watching her. It melts my heart when she stares into your eyes and then sneaks a little smile in there :). I could not ask for anything better!

Curt has been a phenomenal father. I am extremely lucky to have him in my life. He asbolutely adores Kylie and loves helping with her. He helps me out in any way possible and is just there. He loves cuddling with Kylie and you can tell she loves her daddy too. He has been so helpful and loving. He makes me very happy and I love watching him with Kylie. They mean the world to me!

Kylie is now nine days old and is already growing! I wish she could stay little forever but i know that I have a lot to look forward to with Kylie and Curt and I am very excited for the adventure we are on. It is going to be a tough journey with its ups and downs, but it is going to be worth every moment in the end.
