Mallory is here!

Mallory was born on March 24 at 4:42pm. She was 7 lb 9oz and 20.5 inches. She is beautiful. She looks like Christopher did as a baby, except she has a lot of dark brown hair. She is a week old now. Last night was the first night that she slept well. I don't remember it being this difficult when Christopher was born. We are blessed with two healthy adorable children.

She is an adorable baby.


Christopher is adjusting. Tony went and picked Christopher up from daycare about 30 minutes after Mallory was born. When Christopher came into the hospital room, he looked around and said "Where is Mallory's Mom and Dad?" I told him that we were Mallory's Mom and Dad and he said "I have to share?" But now he knows that she is ours and even said he wanted Mom and Mallory to come home with him and Daddy. Christopher bought Mallory a present when she came home. It is a pink seahorse, he is very proud of his purchase.

Tony and I are doing well, we are both tired this week. Mallory was crying a lot during the night this week. We have make some changes to my diet and her bed position and things seem to be better. I hope.

Long Time, No Post

Today I am 38 weeks pregnant. I am very anxious for the little one to arrive, yet I am also very nervous about sharing love between 2 children. I have a Dr appointment today and hope that he says "Oh my you are already dilated, get to the hospital", but I expect him to say "See you next week".

We have decided to name our new baby Mallory Mains.

I have been trying to take pictures of my growing belly, I have to admit that I did a much better job of taking pictures when I was pregnant with Christopher. But what else did I have to do then? Here is a photo from the day I found out that I was pregnant 4 weeks and from this morning at 38 weeks.

I don't look very happy in either photo, but I am taking pictures at 5 am.

Christopher and Tony have enjoyed the snow. Tony has as much fun as Christopher. Tony hooked Brito's harness up to Christophers sled and had Brito pull him all around town.

Christopher turned 3 in January. He is getting so big. He is a wonderful child and I love him so much.
