1.10 years old

6-17-1988

you are still jumping, you busted your baby bed this week, now I need to get you another one. you have started talking a little bit, but not much. you let me know you want something by screaming.
you spend a lot of time playing outside.
your sister just hate going outside to watch you. You are really easy to watch, but i don't think they like the responsibility. if you are out there you play for hours.

My Thoughts: I like that she picked on kaci and kassie... it makes me feel better about myself. :)

1.6 years

2-16-1988

well kelsey, you have a new sister Kinsey Kay born on 1-30-88, 5 weeks early weighing 6 pounds 12 ounces.  She was delivered by C-section because she was sideways and her arm was twisted back.  
your first impression was that you really weren't all that interested, and after that whenever you would see her, your eyes would get really big and you would start crying.  
now finally, i think you are accepting her.  you smile at her and start waving at her if i bring her out of the bedroom.  
i think you found out she wasn't going to get all my attention.  
i think i might let you start day care early, that way you can start doing some "big-kid" stuff.  Kaci started when she was 18 months old and she just loved it, i'm sure you will too.  

My Thoughts: i love that my mom just forgot to mention she was pregnant in her previous entries.

1.4 years old

1-1-1988

Well, Happy New Year Kelsey.  Before long we will have to take you off the bottle, so you better enjoy it while you can.  
you enjoyed Christmas Day at Grandma Nixons, you played with Whitney all day.  You got a glo-worm from Santa.  You still haven't learned that if you squeeze it, it will light up.  But you were able to figure out that you can zip and unzip it.  you love to zip and unzip bags, any kind of bag.  You spend hours putting your toys in and taking them out.  

You got a shot a few days before Christmas, but luckily this time you didn't have a temperature.  
You weigh now that same amount Kaci weighed at 9 months.

almost 1.2

10-25-1987

you point your finger now and say "look, look."  you love to run "wild," and you love to watch Kaci and Kassie play with each other.  
you can walk really well now.  
You also get really excited when we get home from work

10 months

7-4-1987

You spend hours jumping in your bed, I think it is your favorite past time.  You are still a pretty slim little girl.  
You are very aggressive when you get around other babies even if you are the smallest one.  you love to pull hair. 
Your face lights up whenever one of your brothers or sisters come into the room.  They all just love the heck out of you

8 months

5-8-1987

You are standing up now, and walking when hanging on to something. 
you are eating Peas and Fruit.  You also say Da-Da really good and you love to spit. 
your older brother and sisters are really enjoying you now.  

you went back to your old babysitter, Barb, 2 weeks ago. I think you might have enjoyed the other place better

My Thoughts:  I wonder why my mom that it was important to mention that I like to Spit?

Month Old

9-23-1986

Well, you are a month old today. Your sleep 6 ½ hours a night now, no more. You are awake most of the day and you hate to sleep on your stomach. As a matter of fact it takes me about 3 hours to get you to go to sleep in the night.

I received more gifts this time with you than I did with Kaci. I think Kaci was born to close to Christmas time, and people just couldn’t afford it.

I have about 2 weeks from work off yet. I don’t know whether I should go back early or just stay off and enjoy it.
I’m not doing very well at losing my weight and I go back to the Doctor in one week. I got a feeling he won’t be happy.

Jace and Gina had a baby girl on the 21st. They named her Whitney Nicole; she weighed 6 pds 2 oz, and was 19 inches long. She makes my Mom and Dad’s ninth grandchild. She was born the same day you were baptized.

10 days old

9-2-1986

You lost your cord today, but your belly button is not healed. I am going to keep a close eye on you tonight ad tomorrow, we might have to make a trip to the Doctor.
You went to visit Grandma Nixon house yesterday. Aunt Jane fed you twice, while you were there. She is good with babies.

Today Ricky and Kassie started school, so it was just Kaci, you and I all day.


I cleaned the house and that is about all I got done today. I have a lot of weight to lose, so I have to start doing exercises. It will take me a long time to lose it all.

5 days old

8-28-1986

Well, you are home. You got up yesterday morning at 5 am and didn’t go back to sleep until 9 am. Today you got up at 5 am, and it is now 6:30am and you are still not sleeping.
Tomorrow you are going to the babysitter because I have to go to Des Moines to get Kassie and Ricky’s uniforms for school.
You came home from the hospital weighing 8 pds 5 oz, almost the same as when you were born. The doctor said this was unusual, because most babies lose 10% f their birth weight after they are born.

During the day, you are excellent, I wake up every 4 hours, you eat and then you go back to sleep, just like clockwork.
You don’t like being woke up, if it is not feeding time. And if you are woke up, you don’t go back to sleep until after your next feeding time.
You are a really sweet baby and you are really cute. Ricky, Kassie, and Kaci think you are just great. Ricky always wants to hold you.
I’m going to have you Dad put the swing together tonight. I think you are ready and old enough to start swinging. It will be a lot easier to put you to sleep.

Official Due Date

8-17-1986

Well, today is your official due date ad I think you are going to miss it. It is now 10:00 o’clock and you haven’t come yet.
I started losing some white mucus stuff today. This is the first time I have loss some with you. With Kassie I lost about the same amount about 10 days before she was born. I hope you plan on being born earlier then that.

We got back from eating at your Aunt Lori and Uncle Dave’s house. Kaci fell asleep in about two seconds after we put her to bed. She has hay fever, and this is a bad time of the year for her.
Your cousin Andrew is about 2 ½ weeks old, he still looks pretty small.

At times I have been really sore. These past two weeks you have been really struggling to get out. I think you will be a fast labor, like Kassie was (about 3 hours)

Still Waiting

8-7-1986

Your heart rate was 154, so it sounds like you are a girl, 10 days left to go. You are not positioned right and my cervix is still closed. The doctor won’t know until I go until labor whether your head is in the right position or not. He said that my body has been so stretched that you just move around as much as you please, and that you might never settle down to be born.

I measured 36 weeks pregnant, which is normal; you always drop a couple of weeks right before birth. My weight has been around 192, with Kaci I got all the way up to 210.

First Entry (apparently) = Longest Entry

7-19-1986

I bought this book to write stuff in that won’t fit in your baby book. I’m keeping one of these books for each one of you kids, I hope to give them to each of you when you are older.
You are to be born around August 17. You have an older brother, Rick who will be 9-Sept. 28, and two older sisters, Kassie who will be 6-Oct. 1 and Kaci Jo who will be 3-Nov. 11. Rick was born a day early, Kassie two days late and Kaci Jo was born right on her due date. So chances are you will be born between Aug. 15-20, are pretty good. Your dad works at Weise, he has been there 13 years, and I work at Woodward State School and have been there for 15 years.
If you are a boy your name will be Adam Jacob “AJ”, if you are a girl your name will be Kelsey Jane.

I had one really bad scare with you since I was pregnant. I had taken Ricky to a wrestling tournament in Emmestbury and I started bleeding. I thought for sure I was going to lose you. Someone must have been watching out for me, though.
After I stayed in bed for 3 days, the bleeding stopped. The rest of my pregnancy has been really good. I get tired faster, but I am also older this time. Your dad is a really good father; he takes your brother and sisters everywhere. He plays ball with them and everything else. You are a lucky kid to have such a father.

Your brother Ricky is a very active person, Kassie is shy and never causes any trouble. Your sister Kaci is still in the terrible twos. I think you will be an active child also, I have never carried a child as active as you. You move all the time and you are so strong, you actually hurt me when you kick.

Your aunt Lori was due July 13, and she hasn’t had her baby yet. She had the same number of kids as I do and in the same order; boy, girl, girl, so I am waiting to see what she has, so I will see what I am suppose to have.

My last doctor appt was this past Thursday. I was 35 weeks pregnant and measure 37 weeks pregnant. This whole pregnancy I have measured bigger then what I am suppose to. But I think the reason behind it, is because you will probably weigh between 8 and 9 pounds. All 3 of your brother and sisters have weighed in-between 8 lbs 15 oz to 9 lbs 1 ½ oz. Your heart rate was 160, which is supposed to mean you will be a boy. But then, who knows. It’s probably just an old wise tale. Everybody at work is taking guesses on what you will be. I think it is running about 80% girl. I go back to the doctor in 2 weeks, then after that I will be going every week. I started working just 6 hour days at work. My body just couldn’t take 8 hours anymore.
