So small
Having MC home has made me realize just how small she is. I had to take a picture of her by our remote to give a good size comparison. I know if you've had twins or a premie, she isn't all that small, but to us she is and I love it! They get so big so fast, so I'm enjoying the newborn stage as much as I can.
Here is Dustin holding her, she looks so itsy in his arms. I had to sneak this picture because Dustin hates getting his picture taken. Dust has been an awesome help to me at night. Even though he wakes up at 5:45am for work, he'll still get up in the middle of the night and go get MC if she's crying. What a guy!
Kiki was lying next to Mary Cate this morning and I had to grab the camera. Courtney loves to just sit & look at MC and I always wonder what she thinks of this new little baby that joined our family. She'll even occasionally try to help when MC is crying by getting her binki for me, what a gal!
Zack can't get enough of her. He would hold her all day long if I'd let him. He has proven to be quite the little helper with her; holding in her binki in, getting diapers & wipes, and 'holding her head' for me! He is a great big brother to both his sisters.
We are certainly loving having our littlest sis home with us. Trying to figure out how to juggle 3 kids on the other hand is getting the best of me. It is about all I can do to get Zack to school on time in the morning. I don't know how that one Dugger mom does it with 18 kids, she must just live in constant chaos! Hats off to anyone who does this everyday with more than 3 kids! I'm sure I'll get the hang of it eventually, but in the mean time I'm just going to wing it (who says you can't take your kid to school in your jammies!)
As a side note... Dustin has been making a menu plan over the past week for the BIG game tomorrow. If any one is hungry, please stop by, we have enough food to feed about 8 families! Hopefully the Buckeyes will pull off the big 'W' against USC and hopefully Dustin can sleep tonight. I swear, he's so excited, he's like a kid on Christmas Eve! GO BUCKS!

Hey Dustin i'm sorry you had to watch that game but hey look on the brightside. Congrats on the little one being home.
HOORAY! I just got my internet up and running in my new house tonight and your blog was my first stop! I am SOOOO happy MC is home and healthy! I have been thinking of you guys non-stop. She is so beautiful and Courtney and Zack are so cute with her! I can't believe how tiny and cute she is! Brad and I are holding up our remote right now to compare! We both send our love and are so happy for your cute little family! We are so relieved that everything turned out well! Much Love!!!
Your little Mary looks darker than your other kids--almost like Chloe. Is that right? So dang cute! I love to see the love between siblings. That's been one of my greatest joys as a mom.
I think I heard that you guys were going to St. George over Marathon weekend. Hopefully, we'll see you there!
Oh she is so cute, and your older kids with her are so sweet... she does look very tiny... so so sweet. :)
Keep up the good work!
More pics please!!!
