3 Weeks Old...already!

It's hard to believe, but Maycee is 3 weeks old today. I feel like we were robbed of her first 2 weeks, so I am trying to make up for lost time. She had her well baby check up with Doc Anderson today and he says all looks great for her. She is up to 8 pounds today and has definitely found her appetite! She will be pudgy in no time. 

She is proving to be a very good baby, which is reassuring because we thought after her stubborn entrance into the world, she would be quite the handful. She is already used to the craziness of being the 6th born in a very busy household. Now on top of everything else the kids fight over, we now have to contend with who's turn it is to hold the baby.

Here are some pics we took of her first day at home. 
She has 3 doting sisters that, for now, can't get enough of her. Give it a few years and they will be singing a different tune. Haylee is the house baby hog, but a great help with Maycee

The grandma's were so relieved to see Maycee as they both worried to no end while we were away. Our parents were so helpful while we were gone and it was so nice not to worry about our kids. They slaved away doing laundry (at the laundry mat no less), cooking (in a less than complete kitchen), cleaning construction debris from the house, and driving carpools. Thanks again you guys! 

Maycee has 2 amazing older brothers that are sure to protect her as she grows. We still need to get a shot with Brady holding her.

This shot is classic. Jolee had just woke up from a nap and she was seeing this mysterious baby she had heard everyone talking about for the first time. She is absolutely in love with her baby sister! Check out Aaron's playoff beard! Needless to say, the beard came off a few minutes after I got home.

What a beautiful baby she is. I am so glad that she is feeling better. I don't blame you for feeling robbed of her first couple of weeks. I think that would be only natural.

What a sweetie! I'm so happy for you guys!
We had our little girl, Madilynn Olivia Dwyer, on October 7th. We had our own little adventure with emergency c-section and such. But, Madi turned 2 weeks old today, I can't believe how time flys, so wonderful so joyous every moment is, and don't forget so sleepy. :) Happy to see your family together, healthy, and so very happy. Love, dawn
