Kailey is now six weeks old!

Well Kailey is now six weeks old! Wow, the time sure does fly! Chelsie has enjoyed her time home with Kailey. I've just finished working three days in a row...three 12 hour shifts in the Emergency Room and I'm ready for a day off! Here are several pictures of Kailey that Chelsie recently took!

The First Post

This is the first post of our "Blog". We have never had one, so this will be a growing experience.

Here is a what's up with the Welsh's.

Kailey is just over five weeks old now, and is growing all too fast. She is a lot of fun! We just went to her pediatrician's office this morning and she is now 9lbs 7 ounces! She has gained two pounds in the last five weeks. It has been fun to listen to her coo and try to talk as she looks around her environment. In an attempt to not miss one moment with her, we've taken close to five billion pictures of her; and with how extremely cute she is...it's hard not to!

Right now she sleeps between 3-5 hours during the night, and eats about every 3 hours during the day. We still have her sleeping in our bedroom in her bassinet, as Chelsie isn't quite ready to let her sleep in her own room.

She also enjoyed having her Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa Welsh over for the weekend.

Chelsie has been taking maternity leave from working as a RN in Labor/Delivery and is debating about when to return to work. She has three months off, but since she will be part-time when she goes back, she is thinking about going back a little early. She is also starting at the UW-Bothell campus for her BSN, so her plate is fairly full. (But we feel it's better for her to finish it now while I'm going...then put it off and never finish it.)

I am continuing for my BSN at the UW-Bothell campus and look forward to having my wife as a carpool and study-buddy. I lucked out with the position rebid in the Emergency Department and work 7am-7pm three days a week. I have been out of residency for about a month and it's been going fairly well. Between quarters I have enjoyed time off with my wife and beautiful baby girl!
