We are settling into our new routine of life now that Macie is home with us. After my Mom left us, Sissy joined us for a few days as well. The help was much appreciated! Fortunately Jeff was able to take some vacation time and help at home too. Now that his two week paternity leave has been extended to four (and counting) thanks to the government shutdown, he is getting some real quality time with his girls!
It has been especially helpful to have Jeff home because he has been here to run Morgan and Macie back and forth when needed. For Macie's first few weeks we have been trying to get her weight back up. After SEVERAL trips back to the follow up clinic at the hospital, we at least are moving in the right direction. She is no longer losing weight and is actually gaining some! Who knew gaining a few ounces in a day would be such an accomplishment! At her two week appointment she was up to 8lbs 1oz and we were pleased even though we weren't quite back up to her birth weight of 8lbs 4oz.
But Macie is a very happy and content baby! She loves to be held and rocked and snuggles into me just like Morgan did... and still does. Morgan is a huge help with Macie and kisses on her all the time. Of course I worry about germs every time she comes near her, but it is just too sweet to see the love between them! Macie turns to look for Morgan every time she hears her voice.
We are loving our new life! Here are a some pictures of our last few weeks...
