6 Weeks with Miss Madeline

Sneak Peek from our photo shoot last weekend!

Wow, it's only taken me 6 weeks to post since Miss Madeline arrived (the previous posts were courtesy of Cary)! It's amazing how in love with this little girl I am! Even though I really didn't care if I had a boy or a girl...I will admit having a little girl is so.much.fun! (yes our house is exploding in pink!) I can't believe she is already 6 weeks old, although it is hard to remember life without her. How blessed we are to have 2 beautiful, healthy children.

The #1 comment we get is...look at all that hair! So far she has yet to lose any of it, I hope it stays that way. No matter what we try...Miss Maddie has crazy hair all of the time :) I've even been asked if I curl it! Um...NO She does like to have it washed already though, and we talk about our trips to the spa together once she is older. The doctor even commented how much hair he could see before he cut me open during my c-section!

She's trying to smile...and I'm convinced they are starting to happen even when they aren't gas related.

No more bathing in a bucket...we've moved into the big tubby, and she's almost too long for that!

I'm trying to soak up every minute of snuggling that I can, I know it doesn't last for long! I've gone from 100% sure baby #2 no matter the gender would be the last to only 90% sure we are done (Cary thinks differently)! I know she won't be a baby for long, and I love those baby snuggles.

The #1 question we get is...are you getting any sleep? Madeline really has been an easy baby for the most part...most nights we only get up once to eat, she eats at 10pm, between 2 and 3 am and then again between 6 and 7! Not too bad for a newborn. We are working through some day/night mix up and gas pains (yes I've given up my most loved cheese and all other dairy products for my princess...but she's so cute how could I not?) Otherwise she really only cries if she is tired, has a poopy diaper or is having gas pains. Thank goodness because I had serious worries about a colicky baby.

One month and she isn't that curled up baby anymore...she is LONG and wants to stretch out! She has already outgrown newborn jammies...and her feet reach the end in the 0-3's, but they are still very wide on her. Tall and skinny...for her sake I hope she stays that way!

Dr. Susa...the wonderful doc who brought Maddie into this world! Thanks for taking such great care of both of us.
