2 weeks

Molly Grace is 2 weeks old today! Time has already flown by and she is growing up too fast already. We are still trying to get adjusted to this new life at home while enjoying every moment we have with this precious girl.

The first 2 weeks have been tiring but so worth it. We have had a few rough nights and some that have been blessed with a lot of sleep. We had her on a "schedule" at first, but she has decided she doesn't like it that much anymore.

Here are some things I do not want to forget about her at this stage:

-She is trying to hard already to hold her head up. ( I know it'll be a while, but she's trying!)
-She doesn't hate baths. She will lay there staring at us until we put water on her, then we can confidently say her lungs work just fine! After a few minutes she stops and it doesn't seem to bother her.
-She eats about every 3-4 hours.
-She loves her soothie pacifiers.
-This girl loves being rocked at night. (My favorite part of the night)
-We started using cloth diapers last night and they are awesome. We will be using them while we are at home.
-She has taken 3 naps in her crib.
-Molly Grace went for her first check-up to see Doctor Cortopassi and had great results! She was back at her birth weight at 8lbs exactly! She did not cry until she had to get her heal pricked.



Visitors we have had the past 2 weeks:
-Granddaddy, Nana & Aunt Ashley stayed with us from Friday-Monday after we got home from the hospital and we cannot thank them enough. It was such a blessing to have them here with us.
-Papa Rex and Grandmama Jeanne came over with Great Uncle Rich and Great Aunt Prudy on Monday, January 16.
-Heather Kirk and Hadley came over on Thursday, January 19 and brought us a delicious dinner. -Aunt Mallory came over on Saturday, January 21 for a visit.
-Walt & Todd drove all the way from Nashville and came over on Saturday, January 21 and stayed for a few hours to meet Molly Grace and brought her some sweet gifts!
-Great Aunt Jane and Great Uncle Dewayne came over on Saturday night and brought us a delicious meal and held Molly Grace while Win and I enjoyed eating it.
-Brett, Lanie & Sadie Walters came over on Monday, January 23 and brought us a delicious dinner!

We are so thankful for everyone coming to see Molly Grace and helping make this time at home special. We cannot thank our church and friends enough for bringing meals to us twice a week. It is a huge blessing!

I'll leave you with some pictures! Have a blessed week!
