Get to know Macy Jane


I have spent 2 blissful, yet exhausting, weeks getting to know this sweet little girl. So I figure you get to learn about her too!
There has never been a child more adored by her siblings....they can't stay away from her, which is somewhat problematic due to swine flu scares. But I'm glad she is well-loved!
She's my earliest child to enjoy the Gymani...maybe it's just out of extreme necessity that she was put under it early. She tends to be fussiest when I'm getting kids off to school, kids into bed, and right before dinner. When I can give her full attention, she's zonked out. She will stare at things for a very long time. I love this about her. She seems to look at me like she knows me. I love it!
She is the recipient of a beautiful blanket made by my mom. As if she wasn't busy enough, my mom finished crocheting this gorgeous blanket for her. I love that she has an heirloom from Grandma.
Well, she has her faults...she's not gaining weight. So I have had to start supplementing with formula. She has taken to it quite well, except she's spittier now. I weigh her in again tomorrow. She is also a bit nocturnal, but what are you going to do. Macy must know that that is the only way to get me alone.
Macy is wonderful. I still am in shock with being the mom of 4 kids. I had my first "take all 4 kids with me" experience on Friday as I tromped them through the Dr.'s office for shots. I was leading a parade with one in arms and 3 (4 counting Li-Li) in tow behind me. It really hit me! I can't imagine not having Macy here, though. I'm so glad we decided to go for it with one more kid. I'm writing this down so I can go back to see it in days to come. It's HARD to have 4!

I am exhausted just reading about hauling 4 kids anywhere. You are such a good person. A very, very good person. She is so beautiful though so I'm sure that makes it all easier!

So funny that she's already under the gymani. I'm exhausted just thinking about getting up in the night. But she is such a doll. I would kill for a darling little girl like her. The blanket from your mom is beautiful.

Never gains weight, likes to just stare at me, keeps me up all night...sounds perfect!

I love the pic of Macy with Parker! I am sorry that I had to laugh at the 'off to school', "bedtime' and "dinner time" problems. I seem to have the same situation over here! :) Although the bigger Dylan gets the easier it is. Hang in there! If all else fails lock yourself in the bathroom with the baby and a LARGE Diet Coke! (And call me!)

gorgeous, gorgeous!!!

You do get used to 4 kids, although, I still feel like a mother duck when i take them ALL anywhere and they trail along behind me...

It does get easier....I promise. I didn't realize it was easier until just a couple of weeks ago. Maybe because it wasn't easier until then. For the most part now I can just walk and the kids follow....4 is crazy!

Love all of the pictures. I love how much this little one is loved!
