I want to wish Pete a very happy birthday. He's my best friend, the love of my life and he father of our precious baby girl. I'm so grateful for him and everything that he means to me!
It's so hard to believe Madilyn is already 9 weeks old. Everyone was right...time FLIES even more after they are born so I'm trying to cherish every moment we spend together! I love her more & more each day and feel honored to be her mommy. She is now smiling and cooing a good bit which is so exciting.
This weekend was her first shopping experience and her first time out to dinner with us and she did great with both. Although we'd love a little more sleep @ night, we honestly couldn't ask for a better baby. She's our angel!!
Well we've had an eventful past few weeks so I wanted to share a few pictures...a four generation photograph with my grandmother, mom, myself and Madilyn, a photograph of sweet Madilyn asleep on her great aunt Nancy's hand and a photograph of us celebrating my brother's graduation!!
My grandmother, aunt Nancy and aunt Lori traveled down from Virginia to help us celebrate Adam's graduation from nursing school AND of course came to meet Madilyn too!
Yesterday was a BIG day for Madilyn - she survived her shots and so did I! She weighed 10lb. 6oz, 22 3/8 inches at 6.5 weeks old so we're thankful for a healthy and growing baby girl!!
I also started back to work this week so that's been a big challenge!!
I thought time flew by while I was pregnant but it flies by even quicker these days! This last month has been the most challenging and rewarding time of my life and I thank God for blessing us with Madilyn every day!! She basically eats, sleeps and poops ALOT but I could stare at her all day long and never get enough. We've been able to catch a glimpse of her smiling but only in her sleep...wonder what she's dreaming about at such a young age?! Although she spends everyday with me, she perks up when her daddy walks in the door every afternoon. It's so sweet that she already notices the sound of his voice and loves it when he talks to her. I'm so lucky to have such a sweet husband and father to our child. I can't wait to see what is in store for us during the next month :)
