Hey everyone, it's been awhile since i've made a real entry because a lot's been going on.  First and foremost the birth of our new daughter Makenzie!   She was born on May 9th.  I went for a routine doctor's appointment on the 8th and she told me I needed to go in the next day to be induced, I was really excited, but nervous at the same time.  I was only in labor for 8 hours it went real well I couldn't of asked for a better labor & delivery!  I went to 7 cm on my own and decided to get an epideral..I could of went w/out one, but I got nervous when it came close to time to push..Kenzie weighed 7lb 4 oz she was just a few ounces smaller than Gracie.  Ed and my best friend Erica were in the room w/ me.  It was the first time Ed got to see his kid be delivered because I was too nervous w/ Gracie to let him be in the room.  I wasn't nervous for me I was nervous for him because he gets sick to his stomach easy and I didn't want him to get sick or pass out, but he did real well he even cut her umbilical cord!

At the beginning I breastfed her..Very painful!  I did it for about a week and now I pump it and give it to her.  I give her formula too because right now I have mastitis which is when your ducts close..It's caused me to be real sick lately!  fevers, horrible headaches, loss of apetite..I'm miserable tomorrow I go to get my medication so hopefuly it'll make me feel a lot better.  I just hate that I can't give Makenzie breast milk I have to give her formula and by the time everything heals my milk will be dried up. 

Gracie is doing good.  When her sister first came home she didn't like it, but now she's gotten used to it and she loves her to death.  For the first week she wouldn't come anywhere near me and she wouldn't let Ed hold the baby at all.  She really didn't know what to think about her.  I was depressed for the first few days because Gracie wouldn't have anything to do with me.  At the end of my pregnancy I was nervous to have Kenzie because I didn't want Gracie to feel left out or feel like she was being replaced and that's exactly what happened, but everything is different now Gracie loves her and she doesn't want her out of her site!  I thought it was going to be hard having 2 babies, but actually it's easier.  I love having 2 kids!  I feel like our family is complete now.  Makenzie looks exactly like Gracie did when she was 1st born..It's crazy how much they look alike!  I'll have some pictures up soon of the both of them.  I'll be writing in here a lot more too because we got our phone and internet turned back on today thank goodness! 

It's late and Makenzie finally woke up so i'm going to go spend some time w/ her..Talk to everyone later..
