Day 15 - Road Trip'n to Marshal
Lita, Auntie Stef, Lakyn, Mommy and Mac took a road trip to Marshal, MO for Uncle Rick and Auntie Alyx's bridal shower. Mac got to meet lots of new people and he was such a good boy all day long. This was the first time Daddy was away from Mac and it was a really long 7 hours for daddy. Good thing Daddy and Skylar went to see Wrath of the Titans to take Daddy's mind off missing his little man for a couple hours.

Day 16 - Recovering from the long roadtrip. . . Lots of R&R
We did not do much today. We relaxed and took it easy all day. Mommy and Mac took a nap from 2pm to 7pm. Mommy thought it was so nice to catch up on some much needed sleep.
Our at home visitors were. . .Mrs LaSalla (our neighbor), G.Gma and G.Gpa White
Day 17 - On the move. . .
Today Mac had a date with Dr Morris for a weight check. Unfortunately, we did not have a good weigh in. We were down 2oz from the last visit. Mac weighed in at 7lbs 4oz.
Mac and Mommy went to Babies R Us while Daddy went to get hypnotized. Daddy getting hypnotized??? Yep, that is right. . .Daddy got hypnotized to be a lighter sleeper so he can hear Mac when he cries at night. Mommy says Daddy sleeps like a log. Hopefully after being hypnotized he will be a much lighter sleeper.
Mac went to G.Gma and G.Gpa White's house for the first time. Gma and Gpa invited us over for dinner. Yummy, Gma's home cooking!

Daddy fed Mac from a bottle for the first time tonight!!!
"Mommy, look Daddy is pretty good at this feeding thing"
We did not get out of our jammies all day long! After another busy day on the move yesterday, Mommy used today to recover and we took it easy at home.
We started feeding Mac, 2 extra oz of milk twice a day, to try to get the little man to gain weight. We need to get him back to his birth weight of 7lbs 9oz.
Verdict on the hypnotizing . . .daddy is sleeping lighter and was up last night when Mac cried.
Our at home visitors were. . .Vince and Chandra, Uncle Scott, G.Gma and G.Gpa White

Day 19 - Visitors. . .
Our at home visitors were. . ."Spick" and "Bo Bob", Great, Great Aunt Elaine
Mommy's great friend from college, Tammy (Spickard) Meeker, came to visit. Mommy loved seeing her and Bo Robert, Mommy calls him "Bo Bob". Mac spent lots of time sleeping while they were here. Mommy and Daddy loved, loved, loved getting to visit and catch up. Bo played the Wii and really had a good time. Bo even wants to come back and spend the night sometime. We can't wait to see them again sometime real soon. Mommy is sad she did not get a picture of Spick and Bo Bob with the Bean.
Day 20 - Weigh in day. . .
Drum roll please. . . .Mighty Mac had a successful weigh in and is now weighing in at 7lbs 6oz. The 4 extra ounces each day seem to be working great. Dr Morris said to keep up the extra feeding and she will see Mac again next Tuesday. Fingers crossed for another successful weigh in. We need to get this little man back to his birth weight.
7lbs 6oz. . .Mommy and Daddy are so proud. Gotta keep going!
Our at home visitors were. . .G.Gma and G.Gpa White
Day 21 - A day for Mommy. . .
Daddy and Mac took Mommy out for the afternoon for a "Mommy Day". Mommy got a spray tan today and got to go shopping for some new clothes and even got her nails done. Daddy and Mac went to Best Buy while Mommy was getting her nails done.
Mac was such a good boy and was so patient while Mommy was getting her purty on!
