Macyn is Here!

Well, as you all know, we have added a member to our family!

Macyn and Mommy are both doing very well!

So far, Macyn has been a pleasant, calm baby for the most part. I am really enjoying having her around, although it is definitly an adjustment to our normal routine. Thankfully, Chris has taken off of work for a couple of weeks and is helping so much. I don't know what I am going to do when he goes back though!

Addison absolutly LOVES Macyn! She is jealous at times but loves to give her kisses and hugs. She wants to hold her all of the time (with help of course). She is very concerned with making sure Macyn has her paci, so we have to watch her closely. She can be rough even though she only wants to help.

We have had such great support from our family and friends too. My mom fed us for almost a week before Macyn got here..so I wouldn't have to cook..because I was NOT feeling like it. She also was in the delivery room with me and stayed with me in the hospital most of the time to help out with Macyn which was much appreciated!

And our home fellowship group from church (headed up by Karen) has brought us food for 7 days! It has made the transition a lot easier! We can worry about the kiddos instead of worrying about supper. Although, now we are spoiled! Especially since Karen keeps bringing me her famous cookies! Now though, I guess it is time to get back on track with the eating right. I've got to get back into my bikini. Haha, Ok, maybe not!

Here are some pics with our new little bundle of joy!

Baby Room

I am getting more and more excited everyday about getting Macyn's room together! You may be tired of hearing about it, but you will have to bear with me!

We have picked out a paint color and all now...thank you Katy & Desiree for your help! So, I am just itching to get it started! You can see in the picture that we are going to use the teal and off white colors in the paint swatch. We are going to have one accent wall painted teal (the one the crib will go against) and the other three a neutral color.

I also made the letters to hang on the teal wall behind the crib out of the scrapbook paper and wooden letters and stickers. I am going to hang them with the orange ribbon..if I can ever find my staple gun!

Also, below is the rug that I want to buy (hopefully) from IKEA to match. :)

If you are interested in seeing the bedding that we would like to get, here is the link:

Anyway, all that combined with the awesome crib blanket and pillows made by Jo and we will be set! :) Check out my previous posts to see those!
