First Outings

Believe it or not, we made it to church on Sunday. I couldn't have done it without help from Jen, Ken, and Kamryn. Ken dropped Jen off at my house so she could help me load the kids in and out of the car. (I'm still not supposed to lift anything heavier than Mallory. I sure do miss picking up Isaiah!!! It's a good thing that climbing into my lap is one of his favorite things to do.) We sat together, and Isaiah and Kamryn were very well behaved. They are so fun to watch together! Thank you so much, Puls family!

Here she is - all ready to go to church!
Tim and I are working on a plan for next week. I'm going to leave when he does so that he can help unload the kids. After Bible class, he'll help load the kids back into the car. I'm not too worried about the kids during the service. Isaiah is always so well behaved, and there's never a shortage of people willing to help when needed. Our church family is so wonderful!!!
We had our second outing today. Mallory had her first doctor appointment. Her doctor wanted to see her before the standard two week appointment because of the trauma from her delivery. I'll have to blog about the labor & delivery to get you all caught up... I'll do that tomorrow. Long story short (for now) she had some paralysis on the right side of her face because the delivery was assisted with forceps. Great news - it is nearly all gone and the bruising is so minimal that it can't even be seen unless you are looking for it! She weighed in at 5 lbs. 11 oz. She's an eating machine, and the doctor said she's getting right back on her weight gain curve. :-)
Mallory is checking out her big brother. They are so sweet together!

I think that Tim and I both agree that one of the things we were most excited for was to watch out two children together. This has been so rewarding.

We are truly blessed.

First of all, I love your layout! And second of all whenever you need us to help we will be more than happy too as long as we are in town we will be more than happy to help at church as well.

I am glad that Mallory is doing well!

Becky,
You know I am more than willing to help as well. I am willing to help sit with you in church if you need the extra set of eyes, and whatever you need. If you need me to carry anything car seat, diaper bag. Whatever! I am there. Talk to you soon! Love to the Seabaugh family!!

I am glad to hear things are going well for you, Tim, Isaiah, and Mallory. It is also nice to hear that you have people to help you since you are so far away from any family. Take Care!

Mallory looks like she just adores her big brother! That is very comforting to know you have alot of help up there.

Hope you're all adjusting well now! She's just beautiful! :) When do you have to go back to school? So nice that you can stay home when it's SO bitterly cold outside now! Good timing, Mallory! ;) Congrats!!
