Peditrician Visit

We went to the Peditrician this morning for our two week checkup (a couple of days early). The main thing that needed to happen was for Chloe to get back up to her birth weight. She was born at 7 pounds, 5 ounces. Upon leaving the hospital, she was 6 pounds, 14 ounces. The doctor wanted her to be back up to 7 pounds, 5 ounces at her two week appointment. Since we scheduled it early, they said we may need to come back. Chloe's weight was 7 pounds, and 9 ounces today! Our little Chunky Monkey did good getting her weight back up. We are so glad. Our next visit will be at one month!

New Pictures of Chloe

Three days old

These are from the day after we got home from the hospital.

Welcome Chloe Madison Bissell

Well, we finally have a baby girl on our hands. After waiting and waiting and waiting, she finally arrived Monday, April 5th. She was 7 pounds, 5 ounces and 19 1/2 inches long. We had a very short time at the hospital - getting there about 9:45 pm and Chloe arrived at 11:39 pm. I labored most of the day at the mall and was trying to walk her out of me... guess it finally worked!

My belly... the day of Chloe's debut. Could I get any bigger????

Baby Pics of Christy and Brian

I got baby pictures of when Brian and I were born so we can compare with how Chloe looks. Brian was 8 lbs and 2 oz (20 inches long) and I was 5 lbs and 10 oz (19 1/2 inches long). I wonder if she will have a dimple like me?? Also, please notice me rocking the mohawk!!

This third picture is supposeably Brian as well, but it looks more like a baby from China. I'm just saying....

Nursery Pictures

With Chloe being a bit of an over-achiever, we hurried up and finished her nursery. My camera seems to be getting a little fuzzy so sorry for the not so great quality. We decided to keep it simple for now! Christy

Chloe is getting ready!

I started having contractions over the weekend. I went to the doctor on Monday and they hooked me up to the contraction monitoring machine (I'm sure there's some name for this). I was on there for about 30 minutes and had three big contractions and I think about three little ones. Chloe's heartbeat was between 130-140 and she's still very active. They said I am dilated one cm and the baby's head is really low. The suggested I rest so I'm doing that when I get home from work everyday. I hope she waits a couple of more weeks, but she may have her own plans! Stay tuned!!
