love you.....

so its about to be the end to another glorious day and i decided I would take a second to update yall on whatsup out here in maryland.  Lots has happened since our last post.

Mac

First of all Mac is doing amazingly well.  hes still feeding like a champ and is smiling and more alert each day.  Hes starting to look more like the lyons side but youd still never mistake him to be Jordans son.  Hes rolled over liek 3 or 4 times since weve been home which proves that the one time incident in Illinois was no fluke, he is indeed a genius and scientific wonder.  Tomorrow Jordan is venturing back to work, although for her first week she wont be with any kids, instead focusing on filing and other officey type things for julie and shawntel.  

Jordan

As stated above she is beginning work tomorrow.  She is doing awesome and she had her 8 week checkup today and the doctor was impressed with how well she is doing.  She hears just about everyday that it doesnt look like shes had a kid, which is true, but nevertheless its good for her to hear it.  Shes loving being a mom and shopping for Mac and is even just about done with the thank you notes from the illinois shower.  what an amazing woman

work

so were both still at the day care center, I will begin working at Sandy cove camp, the place i worked at last summer, in the middle of June.  Work is going ok though, im trying hard to stop being so negative all the time, and just to enjoy it while im there.  I still work 4 ten hour days with Monday off and lately ive been working with my pastor on Mondays to earn some extra dough.  

House

Jordan and her mom just did a ton of yardwork and landscaping last weekend and it looks so awesome.  we decided any extra money we have this summer we want to spend on outdoor stuff for at home (like patio blocks, patio furniture, fire pit, croquet set etc.)  Just cause we dont own the house doesnt mean we cant make it our own and look good, itll just all be stuff we can take with us when we move.

Jit the pit (aka whitney)

so for those of you who dont know I used my highly affective persuasive skills to convince my sister that she needs to move tot he east coast.  In fact, in about a month she will be moving out here to live with us and work at the center.  Itll be tough to get a routine worked out, i know, were not going into it blind, but at the same time itll be great to have my best friend back and i know that Jordan has alwasy wanted  a sister her age to do stuff with so thatll be awesome too.

Umm I think thats about it for right now, pray for me if yall think of it, with schoool stuff and all that that it all gets worked out.

tomorrow il add some pics of mac

McCarthy pics

something witty

hello family.  so im sorry to disappoint yall but i still dont have nay new pictures.  We cant find the freaking cord to hook the camera up to the computer.  So tomorrow i will take the camera to work with me and use moms card reader to put some on.  

This weekend has been alot of fun.  Jordan and Mac and I all went to church today.  It was the first time for mac so that was cool.  He slept all the way until the end and then J jad to take him in back and feed him.  We gave him his first bottle today and he took it without fussing a bit.  So that was awesome, J is goign to start pumping during the day and then il be able to take one of the night feedings which will help her out a ton.  

We are both so stinking excited to come out to Illinois, we are so pumped to see everyone and get to introduce mac to everybody.  Ok well im gonna go to bed now but il update tomorrow with pictures i promise.  Mac has changed so much, his face is rounding out and he is slowly looking more and more like me, haha.  ok im out

tired....

so i realize its terribly cliche for the father of a newborn to say hes too tired to post, but frankly my dear, i dont give a damn.  

its been a very long week and i really am so tired im quickly becoming my father in that i cant stay awake for anything over the halfway point of a movie.  Quite literally the turning point, no matter how exciting acts as an instant sedative and im out.  So im going to go to bed right now and post more tomorrow, along with pics because right now i cant find our card reader so i cant put any new pics on, however i can put some older ones of my mom and dad while they were here.

haha

McCarthy Isaiah Lyons

So last night Jordan had an appointment to get a C section done and the doctor told us that her fluid level was exceptionally low and that we needed to go to the hospital for further review. We got to the hospital and the staff informed us that due to the low ammount of fluid and given Jordans bicarnate uterus, they recomended doing a C-section that night. So we were moved toa preparation room and told that it would be between 8 and 12 hrs from then. An hour and a half later they told us that it was bumped up due to a crowded hospital that night and we would more likely be going in about 2 hrs. THEN the doctor came practically running into the room and told us that it had been moved up again and would be right then. After I regained consciousness, having passed out from surprise and nervousness, I was suited up in my space paintball suit and booties and rushwed into the O.R. Joran did amazingly, she didnt feel a thing and even laughed a few times during the procedure at the look on my face. I was scared out of my mind. Mac was born at 8:23 and im proud to say taht as his first act on earth, he chose to urinate all down the gown of one of the nurses. ITo say i was proud would be a durastic understatement. Anyway he weighed 6 lbs 12 oz and was 18 1/2 inches long. It is now friday and both he and Jordan are doing amazingly well, they wil have to remain in the hospital for at least another 2 days but as far as everything is goign right now it is looking like he will not need to stay there any longer than that.

anyway who wants to call can call my cell at 13097068349

please keep praying, much love

we will post some more later but i thought you all would like to at least see these
