Figured out I have to Swaddle this guy with hands OUT
He must have been in the womb with his hands near his face at all times :)

He Sleeps a Lot per Maci - I am ok with it!
Maci went to school for a few hours for us in the morning while we took Connor to his first pediatrician appointment. He weighed in at 6lbs and 13oz when we left the hospital on Tuesday and that was the same weight on Thursday. Everything seems great with him and we aren't having jaundice or hip issues like we had with Maci. I am not worrying that we are having weight issues again as I have been religiously pumping vs dealing with a picky nurser again. I see how much he has been eating but just to be safe and given Maci's history, we are going to have him hit the pediatrician again this coming Tuesday for a weight check. I am excited that we see Dr Pat who is our favorite Dr for Maci to so if nothing else, he gets to meet my fav Dr!
After Pediatrician, we headed home for a feeding, picked up Maci around lunch and then ate at Potbelly as a family. However, I am queen anal around germs so Connor really just sits in a car seat with a blanket over him the entire time :) We then headed home to get in the holiday spirit. We watched several movies, listened to carols, tidied the house etc. We made Skyline (Ohio Favorite) for dinner and Face Timed with my side of family/friends who were at the annual Maury's Tiny Cove Christmas Eve dinner. Then it was about time to get everyone ready for bed and await Santa's arrival.

Laying out Reindeer Food
We Met Santa & Helped him Lay Out Gifts
Maci woke up around 730a, just in time for a Connor feeding. We headed downstairs to see if Santa came and Miss M was quite excited to see the princess dresses and Minnie Mouse that Santa left for her. Clint made a nice wood burning fire in the living room and we played Christmas music while opening gifts. Miss M was at such a fun age this year - she actually understood what it meant to open a gift and would react so strongly to every item. She also wanted to stop opening gifts and open to play with every single toy she received :) She also enjoyed helping Clint, Me and Connor open our gifts, limited compared to her loot!

Family Pictures Before Dinner!
Maci was a really good girl at dinner. She was allowed to bring her Elsa doll and she was mesmerized by the chef most of the meal. She was very excited to get corn with her kids meal and loved the Yum Yum sauce! I was so happy to have a cocktail and to get out of the house in normal clothes!

Do NOT Touch the Baby!! ;-)
After dinner, we came home to watch a movie and I zonked on the couch in no time - I think the sleep deprivation started to set in - ugh sleep issues!
Saturday - Grandma & Molly Come!
We were so excited to pick up Mom & Molly at the airport around 1030a. Maci must have said 100 times "Dad, you and Connor stay in the car and Mom & me will go in to get them." She was so excited and held my hand the whole time as we waited at the bottom of the escalator. Finally we saw Molly's hair and Maci ran to the both of them to give big hugs! We grabbed some bagels on the way home, got situated with their bags and introduced them to Connor.
Grandma & Connor Rocking
Later in the afternoon, Molly and I ran to the grocery for the week and bought some champagne for NYE later in the week. It was again nice to get out of the house and my first time driving since having Mr C - I like feeling normal again. I ended up hitting a WALL late last night and headed to bed with a pounding headache after the 9p feeding. I long for uninterrupted sleep again! Clint felt a bit better so he hung a bit longer drinking his nog and Jack with my Mom & Molly all while watching HG TV - mom's fav.
Sunday -
Maci has gotten a bit out of control being in the house with all of us. She is so excited they are here, hasn't napped in 2 days, is out of her routine and gets told to be quiet all the time for this new little baby. I can feel for her but she is driving me nuts. I think today my mom and Molly realized why I said she will go to daycare for at least a few hours each day this week while they are visiting. She needs to go to daycare to be in routine, play with other little kids and burn energy. In order to burn energy today, Clint took Maci out in some of the newly fallen snow. My mom joined them for a bit while Molly and I relaxed around the house. Later in the afternoon, Molly, mom and I headed out for a little shopping at Nordstrom Rack and TJ Maxx in our neighborhood. Molly and I then cleaned my closets/drawers in an effort to purge some more and prepare to sell maternity clothes. We ended the day with some dinner and now are enjoying a Vikings win on Sunday night Football. It is exciting to see my 2 favorite teams having such good seasons - let's keep it up!
Ready for Snow

Molly Reading Maci to Sleep
Yes, she is already asleep - No Naps will do that to an almost 3 Year Old!
We are looking forward to an entire week with Molly & my mom. In addition, I am excited for NYE and the feeling of a new beginning that comes with each new year. We were so blessed in 2015 and hope 2016 just keeps getting better!
Lots of Love & Wishing you a Safe & Joyous New Year!
Clint, Kellie, Maci and Connor
