Visitors Have Started!!!

Maci is quite the popular lady and we are excited to start having visitors!  Lots of fun things have also happened since I posted last.  I never realized how fast these days will fly and how many fun things happen in every day life with a newborn :-)

Today was a busy day for Miss Maci.  She had her first in home visitor, Lori Brubacher a good friend of both mommy and daddy came by to bring us some yummy chicken salad and mac n cheese.  Mommy and Lori have a close bond over their love for mac n cheese so this was a huge treat for mommy!  Maci slept the entire visit but it was fun to show off our little lady in her kitty cat outfit.
Later that night, Miss Maci had her newborn photo shoot.  We are working with Aleah who owns Created By Me Photography here in the Minneapolis area.  She is seriously the most talented newborn photographer we have ever seen.  We had a wonderful 2 hour session with her but like she assured us ahead of time, a good portion of the 2 hours was spent changing Maci's diaper, comforting her cries and feeding her :)  However, Maci was so cute in her poses no matter if she was fully naked or in just a little diaper and hair bow.  Mommy started to tear up at the session just seeing how beautiful our lil lady is.  The best part is that through Aleah we get the rites to all our pictures so we dont have to just pick one or two images.  All pictures will be ready within 2 weeks and I will share the link here so you can all see them.  If there is one you would like to order, just let me know vs ordering on the website vendor she uses because again we have the rites to the pics and could most likely print them for you at a more affordable price. . . be ready to swoon over this lil peanut!

Grandma Gilroy arrived at 9p from Cincinnati!!!  We spent the entire day anxiously awaiting her arrival and completing some laundry and tidying up the house so we were ready for our fun 10 day visit with Grandma!  Maci is in awe of her Grandma!!

This was daddy's first day back to work :-(  Daddy was ready to get back to the swing of things but like mommy and Maci, he missed his family all day!  Although, Mommy, Grandma and Maci had a great first day together.  Mommy and Grandma watched HGTV most of the day while Miss Maci slept and in the afternoon we went to Maci's 2nd follow up Dr appt.  Maci lost some weight but they weren't very concerned at this point and we have a good plan in place to plump her up by her Monday check up.  Like last time, she couldnt visit the Dr without making a memory, last time she peed on the scale and this time she pooped all over her onesie - takes after Daddy ;-)  Mommy loves taking her out, even if only to the Dr office, because everyone comments on how cute she is!!

We are so excited that tomorrow is already Friday so we can have a fun weekend with Grandma, Mommy, Daddy and Maci!  Tomorrow night, Mommy and Daddy are going to get out to the grocery together while Grandma watches Maci - Wahoo Date Night ha ha!!  On Saturday, Mommy is going to go shopping for more newborn clothes with Grandma since Maci is such a lil peanut, she is going to be in these for quite a while and neither mommy or grandma pass up a chance to shop!!  We are also going to pack up Mommy's maternity clothes (except the pants) and re-organize her closets. Those that know mommy well realize this is one of her favorite OCD hobbies :-)  Lastly on Sunday we will introduce Maci to what we are sure will be her favorite American past time, FOOTBALL!!!  Maci is going to be cheering on the Ravens because mommy has all sorts of crazy reasons as to why they need to win and it is all based around how she believes this could benefit the Bengals next season!!!  WHO-DEY?! 

Lots of Love,
C, K & M
