SHE'S HERE!!!! YAY!!!!

Madilyn Grace was born at 7:52 am on May 11, 2009. She was 7 lbs. 9 oz. and 20 inches long. She has strawberry blond hair and has long skinny legs and fingers. The delivery was great. I had the best anesthesiologist out there. I had a spinal block for my c-section and I didn't feel a thing. It was great. I was up walking that night. The hospital staff and lactation consultants are so great at Centennial Medical Center. I want to have my next baby there as well.

Madilyn loves to sleep on mommy and daddy's chest but not in her bassinet. She is such a good baby. The only time she gets fussy is when she is hungry or her diaper is getting changed.

Darrell is so in love with her. He loves to take naps with her, hold her while he is watching TV and play with her.

She is a little lazy when she eats so she did not gain any weight when we weighed her at her one month appointment. This worried me a lot. To help her gain weight I have been feeding her more often, eating more protein and high calorie foods, and I switched from fat free milk to vitamin D milk. I am not suppose to bring her back to our pediatrician until she is 2 months old but he is so concerned about her weight that he wants me to come back in a week (just to be weighed). I really hope she gains something when we weight her again. I will try to post an update next weekend when I know more. Cross your fingers.

Picture will be coming soon. Sorry, I am still trying to figure out how to post them. Stay tuned!!!

She's almost here!!

I have a planned C-Section scheduled for Monday, May 11, 2009, at 7:30 am. I went to the doctor today and she said I was only one centimeter dilated. I found it funny that I am so close to my due date, I have been walking around the mall and different store for hours a day for the last couple of days, and I am still not able to dilate. My sister Jessica can dilate just by blinking, but I am doing several things that would put a normal person into labor but nothing comes of it. It's not like I want to have her too early but I just find it funny. Anyways, I will try to get pictures up as soon as I can after she comes so everyone can see our new little one. And no, we have not picked a name yet. We are going to wait to see what she looks like and see if she has red hair. We have a list but we cannot decide on one yet. We will let you know soon.
