Doctor's visit

Thursday evening Geneva's eye started looking really goopy and later on it was swollen and red-looking. We called the doctor and went in this morning. She has some kind of infection and is on drops (some for mom too, in case it is contagious). We think she will look/feel better by Saturday.

In other news, Geneva weighs NINE POUNDS! That means she has gained 1lb and 5oz in the past two weeks.

4 weeks old

I can't believe it has been 4 weeks since Geneva was born. This month has flown by! Check out her crazy hair-- it always stands up on the crown.

A fun weekend

We've had a fun weekend with our (almost) 4 week old baby! Friday afternoon my co-worker, his wife, and their 8 week old baby girl came to visit us. The girls don't realize it yet, but they will be great friends :) Saturday we took a long walk and took Geneva to run errands. She did great at Target, Babies R Us, and a little grocery store. Later in the day Greg and I got into the pool (first time for me this year) while Geneva slept in the shade. Her bouncy seat set on 'vibrate' is like baby Ambien. In the evening, we went over to our friends Tim and Allison's house for the most delicious meal of fajitas, homemade (spicy!) salsa, and guacamole. Tim is an amazing chef! Geneva and her buddy Blake did a little better, but they both revved up right before dinner. It was a great night!

Greg is so proud when he dresses Geneva up and puts a bow on her to "show her off" to others. I love how he positions the bows sweat-band style :)

Here are Joe, Shelley, and the babies.

Cutie Pie

Tonight Geneva got dressed up for a family dinner to celebrate my cousin's graduation from Notre Dame.

She was a very good girl and slept through the meal. Greg think we will surely be invited out again because of her performance ;)

First Bath

Geneva is 3 weeks old today. Check out her perfect little belly button, visible after yesterday. Tonight she had her first real bath, which she seemed to prefer over the sponge baths. She didn't cry at all, though she made a few sour faces.

Look at that melon-belly! Do you think she's getting enough to eat??

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a terrific visit with Dave and Tammie. On Friday, Greg took Dave on a tour of an oilfield and wells. Saturday and Sunday we pretty much hung out around the house and in the backyard. Dave got our fountain working and helped us beautify the yard with plants and a hummingbird feeder. Sunday night, they made us a delicious dinner which we ate outside under the fan. It was a great weekend! :)

A few firsts

First, PaPa and Gramie are visiting from Missouri (Greg's Dad and his wife) - Yay! We are having lots of fun with them and Geneva is winning over hearts left and right (she has that way about her).

Another first, Geneva slept over 5 hours last night! Possibly a fluke, but still noteworthy.

Geneva ate at her first restaurant yesterday morning. Oscars Super Burrito. She slept through it. Afterward, she went to the farmer's market and then visited daddy's office for the first time.

I had my first cup of caffenated coffee yesterday.

Here is a cute pic of her with Pa Pa and one of her in the bouncy seat we picked up (and washed already) from a garage sale yesterday. The bouncy pic was taken a second ago- after our lovely 5 hours of sleep :)

Eyes wide open

Geneva is spending more and more time awake. Here are pics from our recent photo shoot.

My friend Blake

Last night Geneva had her friend Blake over. Blake is about two months old and lives right down the street. Her momma and I look forward to lots of walks and many play dates :) Unfortunately, the girls were not quite in the spirit and spent most of the evening fussing or crying desperately. We snapped a few pictures during a brief moment of silence. We'll have to try it again soon and hope the girls are in better moods.

First Doctor's Visit

Geneva had her 2-week check- up today. Like we suspected, she is growing like a spring flower! Little darling was born at 7lb and 4oz and 19inches and NOW weighs 7lbs, 11oz and is 20 inches long. The doctor said that by 2 weeks, they just expect babies to be back at their birth weight, but Geneva has surpassed that by 7 ounces! I don't think she cared for the whole experience much though- once we had to take off her clothes she was pretty much done with the whole thing. Thank goodness Greg was there so he could soothe her while I asked the doctor questions. By the way, I really like our doctor. She is double board certified in Pediatrics and Internal Medicine, so she will also be my doctor. First she is female, which I love and she is also young and very sweet. (Note: I promise I do not discriminate by gender and age, but I just really like her).
