Happy Holidays!
Wow! I cannot believe how fast these last couple months have flown by! Madalyn is almost 2 months old and I am going back to work in 2 weeks! :( We are moving into Ruth, Pete's mom's house in 2 days. We have been very busy packing and painting the new house. It honestly doesn't even feel like Christmas! But, none the less, we have so much to be thankful for and we are so blessed to have Maddie with us for Christmas!

Baby Jesus


Madalyn stared as Baby Jesus in a play at Grandpa and Sue's church. It was an adorable play.
Natalie and Madalyn did such a great job!

One month check up

Hope you are well! I took Maddie to the doctor yesterday for her one month checkup. The doc. says she is growing beautifully :) She now weighs 9lbs and 2 oz.
I had a couple of concerns that we addressed. She has a lump under her right nipple and she hasn't had a bowel movement in 6 days!!
The doctor told me she still has some of my hormones in her body, and she is actually making milk too! It may take months for it to go away.
Because I am breast feeding, she isn't wasting much which may lead her not to bm as much, but if she doesn't in another day or so he may have to force her too.

Well, thats our update :)

Owen and Maddie's Picture


It was hard to get a "good" picture of the two of them with her being so young, but I think these are pretty close to wonderful!

Week 4

Hello!
I still cannot believe how fast time is going by! Maddie is already four weeks old! She is getting so big and strong. She lifts her head a lot by herself. She is so smiley and loves to be held.
