Three Weeks

It is hard to think it has been almost four weeks since Chelane was born. In some way it is still surreal not to be pregnant anymore and in others it feels like she has been here forever and I couldn't imagine out lives without her. Here are some pictures of the last week.


Chelane likes to be very awake for a few hour stretch in the day, so we take advantage of that for some tummy time. Dallas can't resist Chelane on the floor. He will always lie down next to her (like this) and watch. He is usually very gentle but sometimes he likes to roll over...

He is being a great big brother and helper to me. He not only fetches me diapers but he is my little alarm. Since my hearing isn't terribly good (and the last few weeks with this cold it has gotten temporarily worse) sometimes I don't hear timers go off downstairs if I am upstairs, or Chelane crying if I am in the laundry room. However, I can always count on Dallas to run to my side and point to the offending noise so I can go take care of it.


This is our little angel. Very wide-eyed and adorable if I do say so myself. Karma came up to spend last Saturday with us and she said she had definitely gotten longer and "chunkier". She seems to almost be too long for most of the newborn size clothes she has. She is such a cutie.

Ack, I have a TON of clothes for you, I just can't figure out how to GET them to you! I keep forgetting to mention it. It'll be easier when you're living here, but I'd love to get some to you now, even. What size(s) are you in need of most? Maybe I can put together a care package this weekend...

I am probably good up to about a year to be honest, not that having more options wouldn't be a bad idea (so I wouldn't have to do wash every 2 days). It does look like we will be there sooner rather than later as well. Cam told me today that the more he thinks about it the more he wants to get up and start school in January.

So I think this next week will be pretty intense with him talking to his dad about this house, communicating with GRCC about financial aid, getting transcripts, canceling the gym membership (we have needed to do that for a while anyway), etc. I think he wants to be up there in December...

Anyway if there is a site you know of that a certain contractor has that is putting up most of the apartments or whatever let me know (or just a good apartment search website). Like I said, the one I use isn't turning anything up and I hate to make you do all the searching for me!

You have the cutest kids. I'm glad Dallas is assuming the role of 'big brother' so well. And the whole 'personal timer' thing is just too cute. I miss you guys already!

I just thought of something too - Christine's dad is a real estate agent and he gets the inside scoop on rentals around here all the time - he has access to information that the average Joe doesn't - so you might hit her up for help as well.
