Evie Is 1 Week Old

Our little Evie has been with us for 1 week now and we are loving every minute of it! She has enjoyed being at home and has had a few visits from her grandparents, aunts, uncle, and cousins. Here she is meeting her Great Grandfather (husband of the Great Grandmother she was named after).








She is gaining weight. She was 6 lbs 6 oz at birth and weighed 6 lbs 8 oz at her 1 week check up. We have been trying to get her in the sun to get her bilirubin level lower and it seems to have helped. Her big brother has taken her on two outings. Once to the park and once to the zoo. She slept through both of them, but had a good time none the less. Here are some fun photos to share with you!

Evie loves being carried in her baby wrap!
It usually puts her right to sleep.
This is Evie at the Park - Her first outing at 6 days old! She enjoyed the merry-go-round.






Wiley took Evie to the zoo when she was 8 days old! We had a blast!

BEAUTIFUL PICTURES! Evie is just gorgeous . . . looks like a girl version of his big bro, at least to me. What a lovely family! Lydia, I love the baby wrap! Is that like the one that you let me borrow...that one was blue, I think. But is that one the same kind? If it is, can you remind me of the brand, or any other helpful info.? Thanks!
Love you guys and so glad to see that you are doing well. I want to get birth details later!
Katie
p.s. doc said that after looking at surgical notes, i don't have to have another c-section...a lot to talk about with you!

Oh, and tell Evie "HAPPY 1 WEEK B-DAY!" from the Kizziahs! And tell her that we already love her. Give big bro our love too!
