Yipee!!!!!!!!!!!

McKenna went to the doctor AGAIN today and I think it's safe to say that she has finally recovered from the flu. She is breathing clearly and here's the exciting part; she weighs 8lb10.5oz I'm so excited about her weight because it's been exhausting feeding her non-stop, round the clock. All my hard work has paid off. I still don't think she eats that well (it's a challenge to get her to stay awake for more than 3 min) but at least she's gaining weight and now weighs more than when she was born.
I have also fully recovered from the flu and so I've been enjoying being able to snuggle with my girl for the first time. You might remember that I caught pink eye while I was in the hospital giving birth to McKenna, so I couldn't kiss on her too much when she was first born. Then a week later I got the flu, so for two weeks I've been trying not to breathe on her. Now I am just loving being able to snuggle her and sniff that sweet new baby smell. Her hair and skin is so soft, I just can't get enough of my sweet girl.
Here's Auntie Amy, Abby and Nate with McKenna. This is how it usually goes; one person holds McKenna and a crowd quickly gathers around her. I got our high chair out (the seat reclines so a baby can sit in it) thinking that it would be a good place to sit McKenna during the day. It's rather high so the boys wouldn't be able to mess with her. Well, I was wrong. Yesterday the boys got the stools out of both of the bathrooms and carried them downstairs. I found them perched on their little stools with their hands and wet kisses all over McKenna. The poor girl never gets to sleep in peace.

Abby and McKenna.

Abby absolutely adores McKenna. She is always finding one of her toys to give to McKenna. It's so sweet. Yesterday it was a Polly Pocket car. She put it in McKenna's lap and I heard her say; "I picked this out for you. It's okay if you keep it forever."

Emma and McKenna

This is how Emma spends her after school time now. She eats a snack, does her homework and then holds McKenna until her mom comes to pick her up!
