Two weeks old already!

Today we went to Macy Claire's 2 week old dr appt. She has gained back the weight she lost since birth and has grown half an inch! The dr said she was very alert and looked absolutely perfect.

Our little angel loves to be swaddled in her adorable bassinet. 

She's here!

Macy Claire Morris was born on May 23, 2013 at 11:37 am. She weighed 8lbs 10oz and was 20 inches long. She has a full head of dark hair and beautiful blue eyes (for now). We stayed in the hospital until Saturday afternoon before heading home. That first night at home was just what we expected...traumatic and long! We are slowly finding a routine and figuring out how to be the best parents we can to this sweet angel. She is a big sleeper right now and is eating about every 3 hours. So as you can imagine we aren't living day to day yet. We are living feeding to feeding, but enjoying every minute of it. There is no way to describe the love and joy Scott and I have in our hearts from this little girl. She truly is our world now.

Well our little princess may be here sooner than we expected. I went to the Dr. today and Macy Claire is completely breeched. She moved from transverse to breech in the last few weeks and Dr. Wooley thinks the chances of her completely flipping around are very slim. He is going to do one more ultra sound next Monday to check on her, but as of right now we have a tentative C-Section scheduled for next Thursday on the 23rd. I'm so excited to finally have her in my arms, but the realization of having surgery next weeks makes me very anxious.

We had an ultra sound today and of course the technician couldn't stop talking about how long her hair was. It was so funny. When I would laugh her hair would swoosh around like she was in the wind. I can't wait to see what it looks like in real life. She is weighing in at 7lbs 8oz today. I think she'll be at a nice healthy weight for us next week.

Please keep us in your prayers the next few days that the anxiety of having surgery will subside and that we'll have our beautiful baby girl here in just 10 short days!

Her little feet.

This is her face. It's kind of hard to tell, but you can see her eyes and chubby little cheeks.

As usual, she had her hands over her face. The white ball at the top of the picture is a fist over her mouth. The little point is her nose.

Unexpected Dr visit

Yesterday Macy Claire and I had an unexpected dr visit. Everything is fine! She is still absolutely perfect. A bonus of this dr visit was getting an ultra sound. Our little angel is up to 5 1/2 lbs. She could weigh 10 1/2 on her due date. I'm trying not to worry about it. I know she'll get here eventually safe and sound!

We got to see our girl today!

This morning Scott, Paula, and I went to the Dr and had a 4D ultra sound done. She was a little fussy at first, but eventually let us see her sweet face. She likes to sleep with her arms over her face, but the ultra sound tech was able to wake her up and get her to move them and she was not very happy about that. We got to see her yawn, have hiccups, open her eyes, and do all kinds of Olympic style gymnastics moves. We were also able to see that she has a head full of hair! I can't wait to put bows in it! She was weighing in at 3lbs 5 oz today. I think she's going to be at a good healthy weight when she arrives. At one point she got so mad at us for waking her up she did a questionable hand gesture. Scott was so proud :) We all had a good laugh. Only 10 or so more weeks until we get to see this sweet angel again. So who do you think she looks like??

Eyes open

I guess she was tired of us poking and jostling her around :)

Whew! We passed!

I had my glucose test this morning and after much  prayer and anxiety, I passed the test! I was so relieved. I also had a growth ultra sound this morning and got to see sweet baby girl. She is weighing in at 2lbs and 12 oz right now and her head is measuring 2 weeks ahead. The dr asked who had a big head, I told the her that Macy Claire's daddy had a big smart brain so maybe she got it from him :) Everything looked perfect and we are right on track. I asked what the other measurements were and the dr said 38th percentile. I'm not sure what that means, but he said that is a great place to be right now so I'll take it.  We are moving up to having appts every 2 weeks instead of every 4. She'll be here before we know it! In the picture above you may notice a little ball above her chin. That's her hand. She's waving to us and telling everyone hello! We are going to have a 4D ultra sound next Monday morning. It's my birthday present from Scott :) I'll be sure to post lots of picture and hopefully videos of what this little angel really looks like.
