Our First Week

Well we made it through our first week and Madison is mostly sleeping and eating. We jump all over her in the rare moments that she's alert and do all we can to get a smile. Luckily, she has lots of interesting dreams so we get a full variety of facial expressions even while she's sleeping. She's been sleeping fairly well at night. We get up to feed her twice and Dave always has to entertain her after the 4am feeding - for some reason she thinks 4am must be morning time.

Here are a few pictures . . . a daddy-daughter nap, a new friend from Aunt Jan (the pink elephant), Madison's game-day outfit, and Madison's very own chocolate bar from Tootie & Keller.

Its a . . .

GIRL!! Madison Rose Harry was born on Saturday, Nov. 19th at 11:57am - right on her due date! She was 6lbs. 5oz. and 20 inches long. She is absolutely beautiful.

She came into the world pretty quickly and without complication. (Yes, I am glossing over the labor part which was not very much fun). She was immediately alert and looking us in the eyes, seemingly wondering what the heck was going on. She was even smiling at us within the first hour. She did have to spend the next 48 hours in intensive care for a tiny bit of pnemonia but we got to take her home with us and she is happy and healthy now.

Counting Down

. . . to the 19th. Could be any day now . . .
