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.
