A few Firsts

Well in the past couple of days we have had a couple of new things going on in our house. The first being Maddie's first time in the swing! She looks a little scared in this picture, but in truth, she just loves it, as do we, she goes to sleep everytime she's in it!

The other first, was her first real bath. We were getting ready to give her the normal sponge bath, when Rob was cleaning her belly button and it fell off! We were so excited, we got to give her a real bath. She loved it, except that she was hungry, so she cried the whole time, but other than that she really liked the water!

I thought this picture was just too cute not to include, proud daddy! He just can't seem to get enough of her, which is adorable.

Well I will be leaving for home on friday. Robbie has a big inspection coming up, so Maddie and I are going to go home for a week and spend time with the grandparents and other family! I am so excited to be going home for more than a weekend. I think that the last time I was home for an extended amount of time was in college two years ago, or more! My cousin is also getting married while I am at home, so I hope to post some wonderful pictures when I get back.

Relieved

On Friday we had our first pediatric appointment for Madison, this turned out to be quite the ordeal, even though it should've gone smoothly. After some careful listening the Doctor heard a heart murmur, these are pretty common in infants, but she was still somewhat alarmed. She said that most newborns have these, but that Maddie's was just a little bit louder than she would've liked. So after my little girl was stretched out on a cold metal slab for x-rays (no three day old baby should have to go through that), and was messed with for 15 minutes trying to get her blood pressure, the verdict was that we would have to make a trip down to Denver Children's Hospital to check things out. So today we drove down to Denver to make sure that nothing was seriously wrong with our little one. They did a quick EKG and found out that everything was perfectly normal! Thank goodness everything is ok with our baby girl!

On another note Robbie's dad was here to visit for a couple of days and he just fell in love with Maddie.

Other than that we are all doing great, Rob and I are both extremely tired, but still doing good. He goes out on alert tomorrow, and I am somewhat nervous, thank god they are only 24 hours instead of 72! More to come soon.

Our little Snuggler

Well it's been a few days now and we are finally starting to get settled in to the house and used to having a little one around. Everything has gone pretty smoothly, even the dogs love her! However Miss Maddie has decided that she just loves to be snuggled, and as you can tell we all just hate that!! We just can't seem to get enough of the little munchkin. Here are a few more pictures from her first few days home, hope you all enjoy!

As my sister Carrie likes to call her, here is my little frog. She loves to lay all bunched up in a ball on our chests, it's her favorite way to sleep.
And of course here is Daisy with Maddie. Daisy has been so cute, she is so concerned about Maddie, she is always with her or looking at her, I think she thinks she is her mama.
Here is Maddie in the Moses basket that my wonderful Auntie's gave to us. She just loved it! And of course don't miss her best feature, her bottom lip all jutted out. She's definitely her mama's daughter!

Madison Lee

After what seemed like a lot longer than 9 months, we finally have our little girl in our arms. Madison Lee was born May 13, at 5:11 AM, she weighed 7 lbs 3 oz, and was 18 3/4 inches long. She absolutely adorable, and we couldn't ask for anything more in the world. It was a long Monday when we went in to be induced, but my goal was to have her before sunrise on Tuesday and we just barely made it! We are all doing great, settling into the house, and just basically loving every moment of it. Thanks to all of those that stopped by, sent cards, presents, etc.. We have a great support group and we just love everyone of you! Here are some pics, more to come soon!
