I've definately had intentions of posting before now, but my time has been spent taking care of the older yayhoos and loving on our sweet, sweet baby. Baby Mack was born August 28th. He arrived at 12:30 pm and weighed 7 lb 10 oz and was 19 1/2 inches long. I was induced that morning and he came about 4 hours later. He was 6 days early and got an August birthday like I wanted. That's not the only reason I chose to be induced. I delivered at Orem Community and from Elk Ridge I was afraid I wouldn't make it there in time on my own. (I tend to go quickly, once I'm in labor) So this worked best for us. Everything went really well and we are so glad to have him here healthy and happy. He is such a good baby. I couldn't of asked for a better little guy. Maybe its because its been almost 5 years since we've had a newborn or that I'm a little older (maybe even wiser too), but Ive made comments that I think Heavenly Father is sending these babies here extra sweet!! He's a great eater and loves to sleep..... Alot! No complaining on that one though. When he is awake, he barely makes a peep. He's extremely loved on by his older brothers and big sis. (And mom and dad too) Here's some pics of our sweet babe........

Some details I wanted to have for my own journaling are some of the things that Mack has done in this first week.
*Since the first time I held Mack, he has tried to hold his head up and move it around..He has one strong neck!
*He loves to look around when he is awake. Not sure what he can see right now but he seems to be taking it all in.
*Had your first professional photos done at our house at 6 days old.. Can't wait to see them!!!
*Already been out and about with Mom several times, since she likes to be on the go.
