Kira

Well, I haven't updated this in ages, I guess I'm not very good at this blog business. Anywho, Kira was born on June 17th via induction, just as planned. It took forever, and I was stupid. I eventually came to my senses and got the darn epidural instead of trying to go without. I just don't handle pain very well at all. Kira was 7lbs 8 oz and 20 inches long. so if she would have come out on her due date she would have weighed about 8lbs 8 oz...i'm glad we had her early. At her two week check up she had grown about 1/2 inch and was 8lbs 9 oz. So she was getting nice and big. we won't get to check her growth again until the 18th of august when she has her two month appt. She can now hold her head up and lift it off the bed when she lays on her stomache. Go Baby!

Damien is getting much better, he doesn't hit her on the head near as much as he used to which is always good news. He gives her hugs, which at times are a little rough, but he just doesn't understand that she is fragile and not like mommy and daddy. He'll get there.

Lately for dinner I've been trying out a bunch of new recipes and am going to keep doing so, instead of always eating the so easy and delicious spaghetti, because it's easy. I think I will start posting the recipes and their source, since I don't make my own, and I will put our comments on after we eat them. This will me much more updated, I know that already. And then maybe I'll add some updates for the family as well.
