Update!

I know it's been forever since I've updated our blog, here we go. Since I last post, We have had a beautiful little girl named Mckay Wilson. She's the best thing that has happened to us! We couldn't ask for a better child. She's perfect in every way! We love her soooooo much! She was admitted into the NICU the second night after she was born, she was having a hard time breathing so they took her in the NICU to watch over her closer. She had aspirated some amniotic fluid when she was born so they ended up pumping her stomach because of that. She was in the NICU from Thursday night till Sunday afternooon. Worst time of my life. I know that there is a ton of people who have children end up in the NICU for much much longer then she was in there and I have no idea how they do it. It was so stinkin hard for me to see her like that, all the wires attached to her it was horrible. The labor part wasn't too horrible bad, I would deffinately do it again, lol. I went into the hospital at four am they ended up sending me home because there wasn't progress so they gave me a shot of morphine and sent me home tellling me that I'd be back later that day to have our baby. needless to say I was back at the doctors at three that afternoon and again there wasn't much progress but the admitting nurse convinced my doctor to keep me there because if they hadn't I would most likely have had Mckay at home. I wen't from a three to a ten in a matter of five hours, it wasn't bad at all, we got admitted at threeish and had Mckay at 8:43pm. We spent a day with her then she got admitted into the NICU etc. Since then I took six weeks off of work to recover, Michael has gotten a promotion at work and I have quit my job and I am now a stay-at-home-mommy that works from home doing hair and nails. I'm building my clientele so if you ever need your hair done or nails done, give me a call. Mckay at four months had stopped wanting her bottle, she didn't want anything to do with rice cereal so our doctor said that we needed to start her on baby food..... yes I said baby food, She LOVES peas and sweet potatoes and she'll now eat rice cereal silly girl, but she doesn't like green beans, carrots, applesauce, pears and raspberries, she will eat some peaches but not very much. Oh the fun with the baby food. She sure gets messy. Mckay is also rolling over both ways and loves being in a johnny jump up!! LOVES IT!! She hates to sit down and loves to stand. As much progress she's making I think we are taking a step backwards in sleeping through the night the last couple of nights she's woken up three to five times, not just to eat but to get her binki (I love the binki but I hate it at the same time!). All in all Mckay is doing well. Mike and i are doing great, we love being parents and love having the opportunity to have me stay at home and be with Mckay as she grows and develops. Michael is still pursuing school, it's rough at times because of homework but we're getting through it. "It'll all be worth it int he end, right??" I just keep telling myself that, you almost have to.
