Morgan Faith Day

Our new daughter is here and doing great. She arrived at 2:10 am on November 1st. Weighing 7 lbs. 9 oz. and 19 inches long. Everything was uneventful and I am now enjoying some time in the hospital with just Morgan.

Madison was instantly overjoyed with her little sister. She doesn't want to put her down or leave her baby. We will see how things go as we bring her home and she is always there. But at this point she just wants to hold her all the time. Right now she thinks it is funny when she cries, I am sure that will change:) She loves her baby dolls at home so I am hoping she takes care of them and I don't have to worry about her trying to help too much. She of course isn't super gentle but she is doing very good with Morgan so far.

I am doing good also enjoying the hospital nursery at night so I can sleep. We go home tomorrow and then reality will start. Hoping the transition goes well and we can get a routine down or at least that Madison will keep her schedule. Many changes ahead:)

So much changes in 18 months!!

So I thought I better post one last time before Madison is a big sister. Here are a couple 18 month pictures. She is getting so big and trying to say everything. Her personality is really starting to come out good and bad:) She is very friendly at Meijer, she loves to say hi to everyone she sees while we grocery shop.

We are only weeks away from our second daughter joining us. We are wondering how Madison will react to all the changes. I am thinking I will have to worry the most about her being to interested in the baby. She loves her baby dolls, so I am hoping she just watches and takes care of her babies. I know she is going to be a great big sister, we are looking forward to watching them start to interact.

I am feeling great right now. I have the end of pregancy energy I had with Madison also. So I am trying to get everything done before I get hit with the newborn life again. So here is to a couple of restful weeks!!

Well Madison is going to be a Big Sister!! November 2nd-ish we will welcome home a new baby. We are excited about having a little friend for Madison. We will find out boy or girl in a couple of weeks but hopefully either way they will be good friends. Of course she will probably have no idea what is coming until the day she is not the only child. She is used to little babies in daycare so hopefully this will help in the transition.

I am feeling great, even better than with Madison. Which is awesome and besides my growing stomach I wouldn't know I was pregnant. Which I have to add I am already bigger than with Madison at this time. Hopefully by the end it will even out, I got pretty huge with Madison. I am hoping being pregnant throught the summer will help me stay active and not sit and eat. We have been going on lots of bike rides. Madison usually falls asleep in her trailer. She looks pretty comfy back there as Mike pulls her around. Better him than me :)

Madison is also walking all over now, she was almost 14 months by the time she was really walking good. She doesn't really have any new words. I think she may be saying ball but not sure yet. But she is changing alot lately really getting personality. Good or bad it is fun to watch!

Everyone is good :)

Happy 1st Birthday Madison

Well our baby girl is 1. We had her birthday party with family and friends on February 27th. We found a few weeks prior that she loved taco meat and beans, so we had tacos for her party. Yum!! She loved all the balloons, presents and of course digging into the cake. She had her own little bear and everyone else had a big bear. The cakes turned out great, it was alot of fun to decorate. Aunt Laura helped with icing the cake, it was quite the process.

It was very cute when she opened her presents. She wanted to keep playing with them she didn't get that there were more and needed to keep opening. She got a bunch of clothes for summer and toys.

She has changed so much in her first and we are having so much fun watching her learn so much. I know from watching my nieces and nephews that the second year is just as eventful so we look forward to her keeping us on our toes with all she discovers.
