Mckenna

Here are a few pics of my darling kiddos!!

Tummy Time plus Cuteness

Mckenna isn't a huge fan of tummy time, but we are working on it!! The last picture I just added because she is so cute! So happy my Christmas present came 3 weeks early!!!!

2 week checkup

Technically she is 1 week and 6 days old....I am so not ready for her to get older! Anyway she had her 2 week checkup today. Dr. B says that everything looks great!! She is now weighing in at 8lbs 4oz which is in the 50th percentile. She is now measuring 21inches which is in the 78th percentile. I can't believe how much she has grown in just 2 short weeks.

I love to see my babies grow and change, but I am really not wanting Mckenna too. I love how tiny and cuddly she is. She still makes me the happiest mommy on the planet and I am so thankful she is here! Here are a few pics from the last 2 days.

The girl in the blue dress

On the 15th Macie had her Christmas dance recital. She danced to The devil in the blue dress. She did so great! She knew the dance so well. Ty and I were so proud of her! After there was a special guest. Macie was right at the beginning of the line to tell Santa what she wanted. She couldn't believe that Santa knew she had a new baby sister! It was so much fun watching Macie dance. She has improved and matured so much since she was in dance a year ago. Good Job Macie!!!

Blessings

I am feeling very blessed right now. I have to be the luckiest mommy in the whole world. I have 3 beautiful children that I have been entrusted with to care for and love. I also have a sweet little angel in heaven who watches over us every single day. I just feel so lucky to have these 3 sweet spirits in my home. They have truly brought so much love and happiness into our family. I cannot imagine my life without them. Ty and I are so very blessed to have such a sweet little family.

More Mckenna

Here are some pics of Mckenna. Thought I would show off how stinkin cute she is!!!! I am so happy and blessed to have her come into our family. She has been a great baby so far. I am just loving life :)

SHE is here!!!!!

Mckenna Maria Dewolf made her appearance a little earlier than I even anticipated!!! I am so so happy that she is here safe and sound.
I had a dr. appointment on the 2nd and he checked me and I was dilated to 3cm and 40% effaced. He felt fairly confident that I would probably go in the next few days. I was cramping and just feeling uncomfortable the rest of the day. On the 3rd I woke up feeling about the same. Later in the afternoon I thought perhaps I was leaking amniotic fluid so at 4:00ish Ty and I went to the hospital. They checked me and I was not leaking fluid. I was still dilated to 3 but was now 50% effaced. They put me on the monitors for a while and I was contracting but it was anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes apart. So he sent me home and told me to come back if things got worse.
I went into the restroom to change and I saw water running down my leg. I was shocked! I said Ty I think my water really just broke....sure enough just walking back to the bed proved that! So that was at 7:00pm. At about 8:30 they checked me and I was 6cm. The contractions were definitely getting closer and stronger. I was still able to breath through them, but it was taking more concentration. I decided to get my epidural because I tend to dilate quickly. After having to have the epidural twice, the first one went into a blood vessel, I was starting to feel some relief. This was the best epidural I have ever had. It was just enough to take the edge off, but I completely felt everything! At about 9:30 or 9:45ish I was feeling a TON of pressure and had to close my eyes and really concentrate on not pushing. They checked me and I was complete and ready to go! I just had to wait for the doctor. When he finally got in there I was so relieved. I started pushing and 5 pushes later Mckenna made her debut at 10:17pm!!!!
This was my most emotional birth ever. I was so relieved that she was here safely. I am literally the happiest mommy on the whole planet! I was interested to see how "little" she was because she was only 37 weeks. Then I heard them say 7lbs 10oz and 19.5 inches long!!! Wow that is how much Connor weighed at 40 weeks! This little girl would have been a BIG girl had I carried her much longer!
I am so very blessed to have this sweet little girl in my life. She has made me so very happy. Sorry for the picture overload, but I think she is the cutest thing ever! By the way it was so worth it to not know her sex. It was awesome to hear the doc say Its a GIRL!!!!!
