The Big Sister...and a milestone


Emma absolutely loves her little brother, her "Macker" as she calls him, and she finally got to hold him Friday night. She was just beside herself. At home, she'll tell us, "I am the BIG SISTER." She keeps saying she wants to bring him home and play with him.


We have reached a milestone today. Mac weighs 3 pounds, 1 ounce (1390 grams). We are very excited about this. Randall and I went and spent all afternoon today (at least until they ran us off.) We got to hold him and keep him out of his isolette for about 3 1/2 hours. He seems to really love this time out, and of course, so do we. The nurse finally told us that we probably needed to put him up and let him rest. As soon as we put him back and changed his diaper, he was asleep good. Randall likes it because Mac interacts with him when he has him out, and he always sleeps when I have him. He says that is because he likes his Daddy more...that's all I need is ANOTHER Daddy's child!!! Like Emma isn't enough. I think he needs to be a Momma's boy.
