Stats:
Kiley Marie Bartsch
Born Friday September 5 at 2:44 a.m.
She weighed in at a dainty 6# 14 oz and 20 inches long
On Saturday we took a family trip to North Memorial hospital to meet Collin's newest "Cousin"...although she spent most of her time sleeping, we did get to hear her voice as she protested a diaper change and if we were not caught off-guard we did get to see the occasional glimpse of her eyes---if she was feeling generous...stubborn like her mom, I guess... :)
Katie and Darin are both doing well, despite the fact that Kiley was born through an emergency C-section...you can check out their blog (linked above or listed as Bartsch Beat on the Friends and Family list) for details.
Earlier this month Collin also got to spend some time with the lovely Zeleke girls, Jasmine and Zana. Jazzy and Z are the daughters of Jan and Abel Zeleke, who I met through working with Jan as a co-worker at Bar None Residential Treatment Services. Although Jan has since left Bar None and the Zeleke family has migrated to her home state of Iowa, we have managed to keep in touch and actually even made the roadtrip this summer as planned! Jan is pregnant and expecting the third Zeleke girl in December...we'll keep you all posted!
What fun!
In addition to these visits, on Labor Day weekend Collin got a chance to hang with his cousin Grace, who he adores! Grandma Nola was kind enough to watch Collin for us so Doug and I could go to the Toby Keith concert at the State Fair...and Grace was kind enough to watch them both so no one got into trouble :)
Collin really enjoyed his time with these two ladies...he spent the rest of the week after they were gone asking where they were...
Enjoying some lunch with Cousin Grace
I suspect things are pretty boring for him now that it is just dad and mom at home...
Thanks to all you ladies for being a part of our lives!
