At 5 months, Kinley...

*Wears size 2 diapers
*3-6 month clothes

*Loves the tubby
*Officially diagnosed with Epilepsy
*Very content
*Still a huge mama's girl
*Currently sleeping about 7 hour stretches at night. That's thanks to one of her medications that knocks her out at night.
*Loves to grab and suck on her toes.
*Smiles, coos allll day long, and giggles a lot, especially when I get her ribs, neck and armpits.
In the past week, I feel like she has changed SO much compared to what she was like. We all feel like we missed out on her 4th month of life due to her seizures so it's such an awesome feeling seeing her grow and be so happy again.
Such a beautiful little thing.
Here's some pictures of her over the past while. Sorry for the overload of mom and baby selfies. haha
We finally got her a bouncer. A much needed gift after being so brave at the hospital. She loves it!
Swinging on our swing set,
Life with Kinley has seriously brought us so much joy. I LOVE waking up to her every morning. I love my days at home spent with her watching her learn and grow. She's so much fun!
Tuesday was another rough day. I had to take Kinley to her pediatrician. It was a follow up for all of her seizures and to go over everything from Primary's. After that, I had to then go up to the hospital to get her some more blood work done. They have to check her blood every so often to check the medication levels in her system. I'm tired of hospitals. I'm tired of watching my baby be poked. I waited a stinkin hour before they even got me to the lab. Then another 20 min wait while in there. Because she is so little and you don't typically see babies get blood work done, it's not practiced a whole ton. So sitting there holding Kinley down while they poke multiple times trying to get blood honestly makes me sick. It's brutal. For adults you hear about blood draws all the time and it's usually pretty simple, but for a baby just barely 5 months old, it's hard to watch. They're veins are so so tiny and usually under a lot of pudge. And they all have said, "even though she's a baby with small veins, she has like REALLY small veins." Takes after her mom. I've heard that phrase nearly every single time I've had to get blood work or an iv. So, after that was all done, Caleb wanted to see her and cheer her up at work. So we went and visited him there and she loved seeing him. Poor sweet babe. She has to get more blood work again at her follow up in Salt Lake here in a week and a half. I don't know how often after that. Hopefully none.
All happy before we went in.
Another weight loss post.
Officially down 51 pounds pre pregnancy. WOO! That was a couple weeks ago too. In case you didn't know, but it is expensive to buy a whole new wardrobe! Everything from underwear to coats. I am wearing the same like 3 shirts and my one pair of pants that fit. Yesterday I finally had some luck and found some jeans and I jumped on a sale online and ordered me some shirts. So, hopefully now, I can actually have a few outfits to wear! The rest will slowly just have to come.
