My first week!

Here are some cute pictures taken of Makenna during her first week! Its kind of hard to believe she is a week old already!

Makenna's First Bath

Makenna does not like bathing! Hopefully, it will get better once we are actually able to put her in the water. She is so sweet and snuggly in her towel afterwards.

Going home!

We brought Makenna home on Tuesday night around 9pm. She passed her jaundice test, even though the doctor had us worried that she may not. We got her all dressed up in the little outfit that we bought last spring specifically to bring her home in - kind of funny considering no one was going to see us and she only wore it for about 1/2 hour!

Kangaroo Baby

The morning of day 2 Makenna was only interested in crying hysterically. The only time she would stop was if she was sucking on something. We suspect that the night nurse may have given her a pacifier (which we did not want), but it could also just have been that she was fussy. Either way, she would not calm down. One of the nurses suggested putting her inside my shirt so that she could hear my heartbeat. She looked like a little kangaroo baby, but it worked and she calmed down so that we could all sleep.

Meeting the Family

Makenna had lots of visitors right after she was born and the next day. She did very well with getting her picture taken and letting everyone hold her - although she did not like the flash!

Makenna Grace Lile is here!!!!

Our little girl arrived on Sunday, August 15, at 9:19 PM. She was born 7lbs 12oz and 21 1/4 inches long. Everyone is doing well. We went to the hospital at 2am on Sunday morning and spent the entire day Sunday anticipating her arrival. She finally made her arrival at 9:19pm that evening. It was a long day, but definitely worth it once we got to meet her. She is so cute!

Indianapolis Museum of Art

Since Chelynne was getting very tired of getting her picture taken in the purple stripe shirt, we decided to go to the IMA and take some pictures. It was a little overcast, but several turned out well.

Belly update: 36 weeks

Here is our latest purple stripe shirt picture - taken two weeks ago now.

Indiana Family Baby Shower

Here are some pictures from my baby shower with my mommy's family. Check out the pictures of the cradle that I am going to sleep in when I get here. It has been in my mommy's family for over 100 years and my mommy and a lot of her cousins slept in it when they were babies - starting with Carmeleta. My grandma had it restored and made all the pretty pink and purple bedding just for me!
