mmmm.... baby food.....

Look who started solids!

She gobbled up all the cereal and was still looking for more ~ her father's daughter indeed. ;-)

Zoey's Ears

Best news EVER ~ we took Zoey to the audiologist today and they confirmed that she has 100% hearing in both ears! Her right ear failed the initial hearing test they do in the hospital. The doctors say it's common for infants to fail the test, but most of the time, the follow-up testing proves that everything is okay. Luckily, that was true for us! What a relief!

According to the audiologist, babies can fail the test in the hospital if they have fluid remaining in their ear or if they are too awake during the screening. Who knows what happened with Zoey ~ but at least we know she can hear us! We are so HaPpY!

We decided to celebrate Zoey's perfect ears by piercing them! After leaving the audiologist, we took her to Cherry Creek Mall. Here's the video....

I know it looks really sad, but she really didn't cry that long. In fact, this evening she's nothing but smiles again!

Isn't she pretty??

P.S. Yay us! Zoey is sleeping thru the night now! If tonight goes as planned, it will be the sixth night in a row! I think we're on a roll... Yippee!!!

More pictures!

Last Wednesday the weather was beautiful so the girls and I made our last trip to the zoo for the year. We joined our friends Tara and Bronwyn. Kaitlin LOVES her friend Bronwyn and gets super-excited when I tell her that they have a playdate scheduled!





Here at home I took a couple cute pictures of Baby Zoey and Charlie....


Remember the ones I took of Kaitlin and Charlie two years ago?


AND........ a couple more pictures!








AND..... a video! (Kaitlin sings to Zoey again):

We're Home!

Today we just hung out in the hospital waiting for the final "okay" to go home. I'm healing well, and Zoey is healthy so there was no need for us to stay longer. They said after lil' sweetie turned 48-hours old, we could go!

Here are a couple picures we took this evening before leaving the hospital:

And.... a quick video of Kaitlin singing to Zoey when we got home. Hahaha....

Proudly Introducing.....

Zoey Lee Carnahan

She was born via repeat c-section last night at 8:01pm.
She weighs in at 7 lbs, 7 oz and is 19 inches long.

Both Zoey and I are doing fine. We're looking forward to going home hopefully by Thursday. Here are a couple pictures of our new bundle of joy! We are beside ourselves with happiness. A new little life is such a miracle....

I'll be taking a lot more photos today, so (as you know!)..... STAY TUNED!
