Hi! Just popping in. I've been lurking a bit but I really haven't had time to post. Makynzie is 8 days old today. The last week has gone by so fast! She had her checkup and PKU yesterday and is a very healthy little girl. She is 7 lbs 14 oz now. Pretty much all she does is sleep, eat and poo. :)

Noah, I think, is just now starting to understand that he is not mommy's only baby anymore. Last night I had to rock him to sleep because he just sat in his crib and cried. It makes me sad that it seems to be hard on him and there is no real way for me to explain things to him. I'm going to make sure he gets plenty of one-on-one time with me so he doesn't think he's been replaced. He has been really sweet to his sister, though. When I burp her he'll come up and pat her on the back, and he gives her kisses on her head. :)

MIL has 12 more days with us. It has been a definite test of my patience (and my love for my husband) but we are over the hump and passed the half way point. There has been a lot that has driven me nuts but it is balanced out when she will take care of Makynzie so I can shower or do whatever I need to do. I'm counting down the days but I also know that at the end of those days it is just going to be me and things are going to be a little harder.

How is everyone here doing? Kelly's about ready to pop too, isn't she? LOL Take care everone!

Hi Tarra!


It's so good to hear from you! How great that you have a wonderful little sleeper!! I'm sure Noah will adjust quickly, but at least for now he is being really sweet to his little sister!!


Can't wait to see pics and see you on the board more!!!


Take care and enjoy the last bit of time with you MIL (well enjoy her help at least, lol)


((Hugs))
