back in the hospital...

The evening of Dec. 21st we noticed Rylie wasn't acting herself and she seemed a little warm. She had a hepatitis B shot earlier that day so we thought that was the cause of her fever. The next morning her fever had gone up so we decided to take her the the ER at St. Joseph/CHOC. They ran all kinds of tests (even did a spinal tap) and couldn't really find anything wrong, but because of her weight and age they had to admit her to CHOC for observation. So we spent the next couple of days in the hospital with our little angel. (mind you we had a house full of visitors because of the holidays) Luckily we were able to go home Christmas Eve afternoon! They never found anything wrong with Rylie, all her tests came back clear (I still think it was a reaction to the hep B shot )

My Baby Shower

My original baby shower was suppose to be on November 14th but since I was in the hospital my sister-in-law Kim had to reschedule it ("Thanks Kim!"). So last Saturday I finally got to have my shower, as always Kim made it very special! We played games, ate great food and opened tons of presents. Kyle brought Rylie towards the end of the shower so people could see her. Here's some pictures of the wonderful day we all had...

"Thank you Kim from the bottom of my heart! I am so blessed to have such an amazing sister-in-law. I really appreciate all the hard work you put into my shower."

Kyle's Baby Shower

Kyle's work threw us a baby shower in October, I couldn't go because I was in the hospital. They got us our stroller/car seat system and a bath tub full of goodies! We also got other presents from his friends at work. I was so sad I had to miss it but I know Kyle had fun.
"Thanks Patty & Michelle for throwing the shower, we really appreciate it!"

diaper cake

My sister-in-law Tracy made me this amazing diaper cake. When I'm ready to use the diapers I can use the rest of the pieces to make Rylie's scrapbook. There is so much detail to this cake, the pictures don't do it justice.

Isn't it adorable?!?!

"Thanks Tracy, I love it!!!"

Here's a slideshow of our girl...
