5 on Friday!

1. Carter has been home from his week long vacation at the Lake for a week now, and things couldn't be any better. It is so wonderful having the family together. Carter is a great big brother. He really enjoys giving Mackenzie a bottle and holding her on his lap. Of course it doesn't last long - playing with his toys are much more fun! Luckily, it last long enough for a few good shots!


2. Wednesday, March 10th marked the two week birthday for our little princess. She really is a good baby. I'm afraid to praise her too much, as we know how quickly things change. However, she seems to have fallen into a fairly good routine already. She is eating every 4 hours pretty much on cue. Some nights she even gives me 5 hours straight.... oh how I love those nights. She enjoys her days either playing or sleeping..... oh, and peeing and pooping! We took her for her two week check-up and she was given a great bill of health.

Weight: 8lbs 8oz - 50%
Height: 21 1/2 - 90%
Head: 14 - 50%

If you remember, she measured 22 1/2 inches long at the Hospital. Her pediatrician doesn't think she is shrinking, she is pretty certain they mis-measured her in the Hospital.


3. On Tuesday, March 16th Josh and I will be taking Mackenzie to Duke Pediatric Orthopedic to have an x-ray of her hip done. She was born with a dislocated hip, which is very common for breech babies. There is a possibility they will put her in a brace. As soon as we return from the appointment I will update the blog with the details. According to her pediatrician we should not worry, since it was caught so quickly there will be no long term set backs. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers!

4. Nana's week long vacation is unfortunately coming to an end. She will be missed by all of us. Carter and Mackenzie have had some wonderful bonding time with their Nana (as have I) - which is so very special for everyone. I have had the luxury of coming and going when I please - I will have a reality check next week.... having to get Carter to school with Kenzie in tow will be a feat. One I'm not sure I'm quite ready for....


5. This past weekend was absolutely beautiful - so, we took the kids to the park for a few hours. It was packed... but, Carter had a BLAST. I'm pretty certain he played on every piece of equipment. However, he clearly had the best time chasing Josh on the diamond.




Mackenzie was very content sleeping!
