2 Weeks Old (by Pam)

I've started typing the birth story of our 4th little one Mack. For now it's getting too long for the blog. I ended up going into labor the night before my scheduled C-section. We were supposed to have morning surgery, but ended up waiting for another Mother in Provo who needed our doctors to help get her baby here.

Mack was born at 5:26 PM

Mack is 2 weeks old today!
It goes by so fast it's hard to believe.
He gets an occasional fussy tummy, but doesn't seem to have the reflux problems that Andie had for a bit.
Toby is a little reserved, but loves to hold and help with Mack.

Sadie is in love and is often asking to hold Mack or is smothering him in kisses.
Andie has done extremely well. She does like me to hold her a bit more then normal, but is adjusting really well.
Dan had a week off work and was a huge help to me while I couldn't really do anything.
He is a bit stressed and tired, but I think things are starting to settle a bit.

This has been my most painful recovery by far, but I'm feeling human again and am starting to figure how to get things done with both a toddler and a newborn.

I'm desperately waiting for the weather to warm up. Andie begs to be outside, and we could all use a lot more fresh air and sun. But for now things are once again covered in snow.

2 Weeks down.... 17 years and 50 weeks left to help Mack become a spiritual, responsible, educated, self reliant adult.

Love the little bugger with all my heart!
Pam
