White House Chatter: Settling In. . .Week 2

Day 8 - Up all night, out all day

Last night Mac decided to stay up all night. He again went to sleep at 4am. Today we ventured out to Babies R Us for a few needed items. Mommy hates that place because it takes all her money. :) We also went to Longhorn Steak House for lunch where Mac was a great customer and Mommy and Daddy had a wonderful lunch date.

Our at home visitors were. . .Brad, Becky, Jacob and Rylee Smith, G.Gma and G.Gpa White, and Grandpa Greg

Grandpa Greg keeps my attention when he holds me because I think his laugh is funny.

Day 9 - Sick baby

This was a scary day for Mommy and Daddy. . .This was the first day we experienced the worry of a parent with a sick baby. Mac is not regulating his body temperature and his body temp was 96.0 degrees, he had projectile vomiting and did not eat for over 10 hours. We have a sick baby on our hands. We were originally supposed to have our wellbaby check up on Tuesday but Dr Morris was able to squeeze him in 1 day early, so he could be checked out. Doc said MacKinley just had a bad night and he was going to be okay, another piece of good news is that he has gained some weight. . .Mac is now weighing in 7.0 lbs!!! Yay, we are making progress.

We went to visit Nana at her work today. Mommy thinks the best news of the day is that Daddy got peed on!!! hehehe.

Our at home visitors were. . .G.Gma and G.Gpa White

Day 10 - Lets go a walk'n

Today Mommy, Daddy, Bean and Bailey went for our first stroller walk. We walked up to the high school to watch Miss Sydni play softball.
