Brother and Sister

We are so blessed to have Riley finally here! For those of you who hadn't heard. She was born September 24th. She was 8lb 7oz (a little bigger than her brother who was 8lb 2oz)!! She ended up in the hospital when she was just 10 days old with a fever. After testing, they found she had a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) and had to stay for 5 days. That was quite the homecoming for her!! She is on antibiotics now and will have further testing in about 3 weeks to see if there is something that would have caused the infection or if it was just a one time deal. Obviously we're hoping for the second option.

She is a great baby. Mostly eating and sleeping (oh and pooping)!! :) She sleeps for 2-3 hours at a time and is just an easy going girl. Tyler just LOVES her. He wants to help with EVERYTHING! I have to really keep an eye out when she's in her bouncer or swing. I don't ever want to go too far away from those two. Tyler loves her and is gentle but I don't quite trust it yet. He wants to help and he may try to be "helpful" when I'm not around. I was out of her bedroom for about 10 seconds the other day while leaving her laying on her floor and he picked her up. You should have seen my face!!! WOW...that made my heart stop. He had her picked up like kids pick up cats.....around the chest! I'll never do that again! I would have never thought he's pick her up. Guess I was wrong!

I'm going to try to update our site each week....keep checking back to see the latest Brouse news!!
