2 Weeks Old

Maggie is officially 2 weeks old!


Mac got in the car leaving school yesterday and announced that he did not have to go to time away all day. That was quite an announcement considering we thought he didn't go most days. I still haven't gotten a clear answer from him to see if he has to go to time away every day or not. :)

Grandma Great (GG)


Mema

Now just one more great grandmother and a great granddaddy with whom we need pictures.


News for the day: Maggie's cord fell off so she now has a bellybutton.

Mac has been playing a matching game on my ipod. A few days ago he got a high score all by himself.

First Bath

Maggie had her first bath today.  She didn't mind terribly, but I wouldn't say she enjoyed it either.

Home with Baby

Today we brought Maggie home from the hospital.  She is doing well and Mac is excited that we are home.  We are beginning to see the difficulties of balancing a new baby and a three-year-old.  Mac loves Maggie, but he certainly needs his own time and attention.  I think that will get easier as we get into a more regular routine.

She's here!

Doug is getting dinner with Mac and our families and so Maggie and I are alone for the first time. I sit here just looking at her and feeling amazed.
I am overwhelmed with love for her. Even though she spit up the minute they walked out the door, and refused to eat because she wouldn't wake up except to spit up more, and she dirtied her diaper the second I finished fastening on a new one.
It's no wonder that I love Mac so much. He is an amazing kid and so smart and loving. He makes me laugh and gives me hugs and kisses all the time.
It's more of a mystery as to why I love this tiny bundle in my lap. And yet I already love her fiercely and I want to do everything to take care of her. It's just such an amazing feeling. I guess thats why God calls us his children. We can do nothing for him and yet he loves us unconditionally.
What a wonderful day! Our family is truly blessed.
