First Bottle

Daddy fed Macy her first bottle at 3 weeks old. She did GREAT and Blake enjoyed feeding his baby girl.

The Fireman

Blake put his fire gear on for the boys one night. Zane has seen Blake in his fire gear before, but this was something new for Kade. He wasn't sure what to think at first, but it didn't take him long to warm up to Blake. The next day we all went and had family portraits taken and Blake and Macy made the web-site!

Welcome Macy Marie!!!

We would like to welcome Macy Marie to our family! She made her appearance at 4:48pm on September 21, 2009 weighing 7 lbs 6 oz and 18 3/4 in long. She is a beautiful, healthy baby girl and we are so blessed to have her! Her big brothers are very proud and excited about having a baby sister. Daddy is working hard to manage the household and adjusting to having a baby girl!!
Mom and baby are spending a lot of time bonding and catching up on some much needed rest, but both are doing well. Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and prayers during this pregnancy.

38 Weeks

We went to the dr. this afternoon and I still haven't progressed enough so I go back next Monday and hopefully he will induce sometime next week. I am getting pretty uncomfortable and ready for it to all be over with, but I would rather her come when she is ready. Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers!

Baby Room

We finally finished Baby Girl's room. We are all ready to meet her!! I go to the dr. tomorrow afternoon and we will see what the dr. says. I will update everyone tomorrow! Enjoy the pics!

37 Weeks!!!

We have made it to 37 weeks and I am now back at work part-time during the week. We are working to finish the baby room and making last minute preparations before the baby arrives! I had my weekly Dr.'s appt. yesterday and I am starting to make some progress, but it could still be a while yet. He told me that he would like to induce in 2 weeks if she has not come on her own by that time. Blake and I are still trying to come up with the perfect name for our baby girl, but we may just have to see her first! We are anxious for her to arrive...and so are her Big Brothers!

36 Weeks...

Well, I went to the Dr. again this week and everything is going well. I am still measuring small, but everything is looking good. I lost 5 lbs this past week which is quite unusual for a pregnant woman on bed rest in my opinion. I was expecting to gain more weight with this pregnancy since I have been on bed rest and haven't had much activity in the past month. So far I have gained 27 lbs which isn't that bad. Maybe she will be smaller than the boys who were both 8 pounders! The Dr. told me that I can gradually increase my activity this week and if I feel up to it I can start back to work next week, but only part-time.
Blake and I are busy trying to get things finished up and ready before the baby gets here. There is still a lot to do, but we will be ready for her when she decides to make her appearance!
Thanks to everyone for your continued thoughts and prayers!
