Just another update!

I can't believe its been almost 5 weeks since my last post!!  Time flies!  Never in my life has time flown by before and now it's going faster than ever!!  We have had a busy past few weeks.  Mackenzie pretty much has been at the doctors office every 3 days since she was born due to her weight issues.  She's such a peanut who did not have a good latch...Breastfeeding NIGHTMARE.  It's funny because before I had her, I stocked up on formula.  Every time I went to the doctor, I asked for samples.  I couponed like crazy and got more!  I have a whole 3 shelf bookcase full of it.  I figured I would try and if it didn't work out, then I would just switch to formula.........Boy was that not the case after I had her!  The past 6 weeks have been completely intense and emotional.  I don't even know how else to say it.  For some reason, the idea of giving her formula and not something that is tailored to her drove me crazy...no idea why!  ha ha.  But I refused to give up...in fact, I still refuse to give up.  I have done more research and watched more videos on it than I ever thought possible.  I'd say I'm slightly obsessed over it.  Anyways, I have made it my life.  It stinks that in a few weeks all the hard work I put in, will pretty much go away since she will be on bottles.  Oh well, we will figure it out!  It's funny how the thought of me not nursing her except at night made me cry...then again, her not fitting into her Newborn clothes makes me cry too!  At least my husband has been a supportive trooper through all this.  I'm sure he would have preferred for me not to drive myself crazy and be emotional all the time, but he tuckered through it...heck, he still is! 

Here are some more pics I found from the hospital!! 

In labor here...before the epidural...before I could really feel the contractions!

                    

Now on to some fun stuff!!  We had visitors!!  Niki and Jason came down over Labor Day weekend.  It was fun to see them and just relax.  We celebrated Mackenzie's 1 month birthday (by me having a glass of wine of course!), introduced Mackenzie to the Browns football season, and just hung out.  Then, the following weekend, Bill and Nicole were down.  Another fun weekend!  It was Brandon's birthday and we asked Bill to be Mackenzie's Godfather.  All in all, we had an exciting 2 weeks!!  Here are some pictures. 

 

This weekend, we asked Katie, my sister, to be Mackenzie's Godmother.  She was quite excited!  Here is the video and you can see her reaction!  (Don't mind me telling Brandon to stop at the end because I was scared the video would be too long to upload!)  I wanted to do something fun for her and sentimental...and of course I cried as soon as she did! 

 

Who would have known that having a baby makes you the most emotional person on the planet!  haha.  Oh and don't get me started on the Carter's commercial...I still cry every time I see it!
