6 weeks old already!!!

Here are a few pictures daddy took, I swear she gets more and more precious everyday!!!! We went to the pediatrician yesterday and Mackenzie is up to 6lbs 3oz!!!!!!!!!!!! She is growing and thriving well. She got her Hepatitis shot, which she most certainly did not like, and will get her 2 month shots in only 2 more weeks. I can't believe she is 6 weeks old already. I think because she was in the hospital so long, I missing about 4 weeks of time. Anyway, she is doing well and she cannot wait to meet the rest of her family!!!!!

Ready for Santa...

We had a very quiet, uneventful Christmas morning!! It was different, but nice to be home alone with Mike and Mackenzie :-) We had a gift for each of us, and then we had some gifts from some of our friends in Gville for Mackenzie. After gifts, we went to Mike's boss's house for lunch with him and his family. It was fun, we had great food, and best of all we didn't have to cook!!!!

Bath...and Chair

This is a picture of my new glider my mom and dad got me. I am so excited it is finally here, I ordered one online about 3-4 weeks ago and recently found out it was on back order until the end of January. So, not wanted to wait until then, I cancelled that order and ordered it from another website...and here it is!!!!!!!!

Here is Mike working hard to get it put together :-)

Well, our latest discovery is that Mackenzie manages to poop and pee outside of her diapers at times!!! She has been wearing newborn sized diapers, but today I had to break down and buy some premie diapers. They say that they fit up to 6lbs and she is almost there so I was trying to make due with the ones I already had, but she made it very clear this morning that they are a little too big. As a result she got "hosed" off in our bathroom sink!!!!!

She was not happy that daddy wanted to take pictures of her at that moment...she was naked for goodness sake :-)

New Stuff

Well, we had to run to Publix today for some last minute things and Mike found these cute little shoes for Mackenzie. The funny thing is that they are key chains!!!!! They are the perfect length, but they are not quite wide enough :-) I took a picture of them next to her so you could see how small they are!!!!!! I wish they would have fit her, they are really cute :-)

Well, yesterday Mackenzie and I went to the hospital where I work to see some friends and have lunch. The hospital provided a free lunch to all employees and it was actually a decent meal :-) While I was there, I ran into the pediatric Gastrointestinal doctor that works with us and I had a few questions for him concerning Mackenzie and her reflux symptoms. He told me to come to the office and he would see her right away!!! (It's nice having some connections sometimes) Anyway, she does have reflux, and we have started some medicine that will hopefully help the situation. All babies have reflux, but we don't want it to effect her weight gain in any way. It also makes her uncomfortable at times, and we don't want that either. Her weight at his office was 5lbs 10oz...so she is still on the right track. The idea is to have less episodes of choking and spitting up and she will gain weight faster!!!!

Working Hard :-)

Well, I cannot explain how wonderful it is to be home with Mackenzie. Our first couple of nights have actually gone quite smooth. It helps because she was already on a schedule from the hospital.

This morning, I jumped in the shower after feeding her and when I got done I went into the living room to check on her and I found her like this!!!!! I thought is was the cutest thing I have ever seen :-)

FINALLY HOME!!!!!

Well, we thought it would never happen...but Mackenzie is finally home. She was discharged from the NICU this morning, and so far the day has gone smooth. We got to have lunch with daddy and now she is napping in her swing :-) Above are a few pics from today :-)
