Mairead is Here...and is now 8 weeks old

Its been a busy 8 weeks since Mairead arrived.  She didn't come on her own so just as with Micah we had to use force!  We went into the hospital Tue night (May 17) and started the inducement process- by the by everything went smoothly with that-and had our little girl in our arms on my birthday (May 18) by 3:31 pm.  It was a great birthday and we were happy to finally have her here with us.

She came out at 9lbs 2 oz and measured 21 1/4 in.  She beat Micah Jr out in both categories! He was 8lbs 10 oz and 21 in.

She is now 8 weeks weighing in at 12 lbs 2.5 oz and 23 in.  Looks like Micah beat here out for this growth stage, he was 12lbs 5 oz and 24 3/4 in.  Both are all stars!

She has been a great baby-sleeping most of the night-waking to feed-and then back to sleep.  She is a little more high maintenance- she likes our fingers in her mouth over the paci-its nice when she does take it, give our fingers a break-likes to be held in the lap over the swing- but who can blame her.  Shes a doll.

Micah Jr has given her the nick-name of "Baby Gorgeous" a name that is sticking, along with "Sweet" -derived from mommy saying "Sweetie."

We are trying to get out of the house often so Micah Jr has time to stretch his legs-the Denver Zoo has been that out let at least once a week-Marty bought us a member pass for our family-it's been great to have.  Mairead usually sleeps through the event but I think will grow to love it just as much as her brother.
