Kensley's Newborn Pictures

Kensley's newborn pictures where taken on Friday, November 13. She wasn't quite a week and a half old yet. Here are a few of our favorite pictures along with a link to the slide show of them. It's amazing to see how much she has already grown and changed. She isn't looking as much like a newborn anymore!

Happy 1 Month Birthday, Kens!

Kensley is 1 month old today! I can't believe how fast this past month has flown by. I feel like Kensley is growing and changing everyday. We go to the doctor for her 1 month appointment on Monday and we are excited to see how big she is. Here are some pics from this past week (including Thanksgiving at the Brauchler's) and also her 1 month pics that I took today!

Mom, are we done with the pictures yet?

Does this bow make my cheeks look big???

Just hanging out and looking cute.

3 weeks old...

Kensley is 3 weeks old today! It's amazing how much she's changed over the past three weeks. She's much more alert during the day, is getting really good with her head control, focusing more on objects, responding to our voices, etc. She's been doing really well at nights and tends to go 4 - 5 hours in between feedings, which means we're usually only up 2 - 3 times a night! Kensley also loves to be held! Here are a few pictures of week 3.

Just hanging out in her boppy pillow...

Sleeping like her daddy with her arms above her head...

She discovered the mirror above her on the swing and was staring at herself for quite a while.

Sitting up like a big girl.

Smiling in her sleep.

Sleeping on mommy.

Zonked out before her diaper change.

Making a funny face while she sleeps.

Kensley is getting excited for her first Thanksgiving. She can't wait to see her family and snuggle with them all. Happy Thanksgiving!

2 weeks old...

Wow...once again I can't believe that another week has gone by. Kensley is 2 weeks old today. She's already becoming much more alert. She's been a great baby thus far...sleeps well at night in between feedings and normally only wakes up 2 - 3 times per night. She's pretty happy and content when she's awake and loves to snuggle. Here are a few pictures from the past week.

After her first bath...she looked content, but I think it's because she's worn out from screaming during her bath.

Looking at her daddy.

Making one of her funny faces.

Deep in thought.

1 week old...

It's so hard to believe that Kensley is 1 week old today! This past week has flown by and I have a feeling that time will not slow down. We brought Kensley home on Friday early evening and had lots of visitors her first few days at home. Here are a few pictures documenting our past few fun filled days.

Kensley in her Colt's hat...it doesn't quite fit just yet.

She's just not sure about watching the Colt's game. She already knows that football means naptime.

Kensley with our friends, Jon and Esther, who brought us dinner this week. Kensley is excited to meet little Ellie who will be here in December!

Kensley with our friends, Wes, Erin and Chase. They brought us dinner this week as well and Kensley enjoyed meeting Chase. He showed off his crawling skills and all his teeth! She can't wait to play with him someday.

This is one of my favorite pictures to date. I went through Kensley's headbands and hats and tried a few on her. She is obviously not too sure about the huge flower headband.

Our first outing to Target. We had to document the occasion as our first big trip out!

Kensley also saw the pediatrician for her first check-up this week. We really liked the pediatrician and Kensley did great! The doc said that she is doing really well and she's almost back up to her birth weight...weighing in at 8 pounds 2 ounces. She is in the 61st percentile for weight and 57th percentile for height.

She's here!

Kensley Elise Roberts was born on Wednesday, November 4th at 1:44 p.m. She weighed 8 lbs and 3 ounces and was 20 and 1/4 inches long. She needed a little encouragement to come into this world, but made a quick debut! I was started on pitocin around 8:30 a.m. and by 1:00 p.m. was pushing! We are loving every minute with her and learning new things everyday! Here are a few pics from her first few days.

39 weeks...

Well the countdown has officially begun. We are currently scheduled to be induced on Wednesday morning, November 4, unless Brob decides to make her debut before. We have been making good progress over the past few weeks and our doctor sees no reason to make us wait until our due date. I am currently 4 centimeters dilated. I've been progressing from our first check 3 weeks ago where I was 2 cm dilated and 50% effaced (36.5 weeks), to 3.5 cm dilated and 75% effaced (almost 38 weeks) and then 4 cm dilated as of this past Friday. We're thankful that my body has been progressing naturally, but the waiting part has definitely been hard. I've been having quite a few contractions over the past week, but unfortunately all have been false labor. So in 72 hours or less, we will have a new addition to our family. We're getting excited and I have a feeling that these next few days will be a blur to us. Here is what we (or at least I) hope is the last picture of me pregnant!

Stay tuned for our next post as we'll be excited to introduce you to our little girl!
