On Thursday, March 10th my nephew Mack Jordan Hickel was born! He weighed 6 lbs 14 oz and was 19 1/2" inches long. That is exactly what I weighed when I was born which is so cool we share that! Mommy and baby are doing good and I know my brother is on cloud nine! He has sent me numerous pictures on my phone and I am so thankful because I cannot be there and I want to see everything! I cannot tell you how excited I am that he has finally arrived and I want to kiss on his sweet little cheeks so badly! I am planning on taking the girls with me to Kansas the first week of April to go meet this little cutie and I am counting down the days. I am a bit nervous traveling 10 hours with both girls by myself but I think I can do it! I think the biggest challenge will be that I will have to stop and nurse every 3-4 hours and also stop even more frequent for Alivia to go potty. I love that my daughter is potty trained but why does it have to be such a pain when we take trips!? I guess I shouldn't complain though because last week I was so thankful that she was potty trained. That is because last week she had the flu and it was coming out on both ends...not so fun! I was so thankful when she would say, "Mommy I have to poopy," because I saw what came out and I would not want to change that in a diaper!
I have no idea how I got from my nephew being born to Alivia's poop but oh well! I guess that is what being a mom is like...highs and lows all the time. I do know that one thing is for sure, I have more and more highs everyday with my family.
