Hubbard Happenings: The first few weeks...

Kate is now almost 3 weeks old. It has gone by really fast. It feels like yesterday we were in the hopsital. It's amazing how fast the days go by with a newborn. The first two weeks were pretty hard just because she had jaundice and she wasn't gaining weight so we had to supplement feed with a syringe of breastmilk in addition to regular breastfeeding. This past Friday she was weighed and weighed 7 lbs 3.6 oz so she is getting bigger and close to her birthweight! Hopefully by Monday's dr's app't she will be at her birthweight.

Kate is precious and Kyle and I are loving being parents. We love holding her, kissing her, taking naps together and nighttime drives around Bartlesville with Kate.

Both of our parents have come up in the past few weeks which was a huge help. My mom stayed with us during the week for the past two weeks which was wonderful. Kyle went back to work all day this week so it helped having an extra pair of hands around. She helped so much with Kate whether it be helping me feed, changing dirty diapers or staying up with Kate in the middle of the night so we could get some sleep. Thanks MeMaw! Grandpa Newberry got to come up this past Thursday and Friday. He loved holding and talking to Kate. Kyle's parents made us some great meals when they were here and also helped with cleaning the house. We owe a big thanks to our parents for all their help.

We have also had so many friends bring us meals, gift cards to restaurants, etc. Thank you so much!

I feel a lot more confident on my own as the start of this week soon approaches. We have some outings planned each day which will be fun, even if it is just going to the doctor, optometrist, etc.
Here are a few pictures from the past couple weeks. Enjoy!

One of my best friends from h.s. came up to visit Kate. Her little boy, Ridge, is exactly two months older than Kate. Ridge had to come up and visit his future girlfriend:) Alisha and I had so much fun visiting. Can't wait to see her again!

My friend Megan is a great photographer. She came by to visit Kate the other day and snapped a few photos.

We didn't make it to the fireworks show this year but Kate did get dressed up in her new outfit for the event. We did get to go eat with friends John and Ashley. It was Kate's first restaurant outing and she did great! Slept the whole time
