Mazy Grace – Week 2

April 5, 2015April 11, 2017

On Tuesday, Mazy had her 2 week check-up and we have one healthy little girl!

She is in the 99 percentile for height – well, actually, when you look at the chart, she is still off the charts! She weighed in at 8 lbs. 13 oz. and falls into the 73 percentile. Here is what the past week has looked like!

We had Mazy Grace’s newborn pictures taken by Abby – she is so incredibly talented! The first 2 pictures are just a sneak peak:

How precious!

Those eyes!

Mazy just LOVES her bath time with dad!

Dan’s mom came to help out last weekend:

My mom, sister, and her 4 girls came and visited this past weekend:

Never get sick of watching her sleep!

We have been SO BLESSED with having family here! Oh are we going to miss them! But we are thankful they are just a few states away. What love we have been given and Mazy has been SO LOVED by her cousins, aunties, and grandmas! So much to be thankful for!

When Your Daughter Teaches YOU Lessons

But what we often overlook is the fact that they are teaching us just as much about life. If…

Well, summer was back this week in Michigan, so we tried to spend as much time as we could outside! This week marked celebrating my mom’s birthday, Maggie’s 1st birthday (it was a BIG deal in Mazy’s book), ending Mazy’s first soccer season, visiting friends, and celebrating all things fall! Here’s what we’ve been up…

Full Hearts

Our hearts are SO FULL. One of the best weeks EVER. This week has been filled with so much joy. I told Dan last night as once again, I couldn’t fall asleep, that my heart is just so full. Yesterday, I was driving to town and I said to myself “alright, lets go babester”! Laugh all…

Around The Home

I am realizing that our weeks tend to look the same, so there are “repetitive events” but there is always a cute picture to be taken (if I think of it). Though it was a bit chilly at times this week, it warmed up to be spring-like weather again! Except of course there were leaves…

Mazy Grace’s Delivery Story Part 1

The journey to meeting our baby girl: On Saturday, I was starting to think that “the day” was coming! The day we had been praying for, for so long! That night, we were at a friend’s house and I started to have some contractions. That night, I woke up about 4 times with them and…
