Kade decided to take a little snooze on Daddy's lap. He just looks so peaceful when he's sleeping!
Today was Kade's first doctors appointment. It was his 2 week checkup, although he is almost 3 weeks old. I can't even believe it! He weighed 8 lbs. 9 oz. and measured 20 1/4 inches. So he has already gained 1 lb. and grown 1 inch. He is growing so fast! He was a very good boy today. His doctor checked him and said he is in perfect health. She had to take his diaper off for a second, and I was afraid he was going to pee on her. He didn't though. He waited until I put his diaper part way on, and then peed. It went all over the table and his blanket. So I had a big mess to clean up. Then before I could get a clean diaper on him, he peed again! I couldn't believe he did it twice! But his doctor was very nice, and she helped me clean him up. We go back again in 6 weeks for his next checkup. I'm so thankful that he is such a healthy boy!
Kade is Jake's mom's first grandchild. She is very proud of him! Carolyn has been a big help to us. She usually checks on us everyday. She'll come over and help around the house and bring us food. Her favorite job is holding and feeding Kade!

Kade Andrew Keeling is here! Kade was born Thursday, September 28, 2006 at 10:35 pm. He weighed 7 lbs. 8 oz. and was 19 1/4 inches long. He was 2 weeks and 1 day early. My due date was October 13, but I was glad to get him here early! I went in for a routine appointment on Thursday morning at 10:00. While I was in the doctors office my water broke. I asked the midwife if I needed to call my husband, and she said "Well, you're going to have a baby today." I was in shock! I couldn't believe he was going to be born today. So they sent me on upstairs to labor and delivery, and I was admitted at 11:30 am. Jake finally made it to the hospital at 1:00. I didn't have any bags packed since I still thought we had over 2 weeks. I was actually going to pack my bags that day! So Jake had to rush around getting everything together that we would need. He did a good job! I was very proud of him! Finally after a long 11 hours and a lot of hard work, Kade was born. He is perfect in every way!
