Two weeks...

Madisen you were born on June 30th, 2010 and on that day my life changed forever. Since we brought you home we have learned so much and still have so much more to learn. The first week you were home was a breeze. You required so little eat, sleep, pee & poop. Your daddy kept saying he couldn't wait until you were old enough (to play with him, giggle, smile...etc.) ..it drove me crazy I wanted to keep you little and in the newborn stage forever.

The second week is when things gradually changed. You became a little fussy and had some plumbing issues. Your daddy can't stand to hear you cry because it breaks his heart so he just wanted to keep giving you a bottle because that is when you seemed the most content...just like your momma.

Your cord fell off at two weeks and we gave you your first bath which you screamed the whole way through and your Daddy panicked and took you out right away. Your next bath though you did great because we covered you with warm wash cloths so you wouldn't get cold. Mommy hopes you turn out to be a fish like her when you get older.


Your auntie had to come over to help your Momma because I called your Doctor to find out what to do for your plumbing issues and they told us to stick a thermometer in your coo and it would all work itself out. I was mortified and so afraid of hurting you so auntie Kiki came to the rescue and helped us out and schooled your momma on infant care ;0) Boy do we have so much to learn about you.

You have had so many visitors and you are always so well behaved when they come over. You love to be in your mommy's arms especially in the glider where you are rocked to sleep and mommy has learned that you like to be held lying on your left side. You are such a good eater...again you take after your mommy in that department. You love to lay on Daddy's chest when you sleep and it takes my breathe away every time. You have softened your Daddy's heart in so many ways and I am just in awe. Daddy hates when we put bows in your hair (silly guy).


Daddy bought you a bouncer which you love to hate or absolutely love and you feel the same way about your swing.



We spent the majority of your first week of life in the living room because your pack n play has a bassinett and changing table which made life really easy for Mommy and Daddy because everything is in one room but at two weeks we moved you to our bedroom at night because you have a beautiful bassinett and Mommy sleeps so much better with you close to her so she can stare at you and make sure you are breathing (remember I said I was a hypochondriac and a chronic worrier..I will try to get over it before you get too much older and pick up on your Mommy's bad habits).

Your first outing was to Babies R Us after Mommy had an appt in Fresno. She was so nervous because it was her first time since having you away from Daddy. Mommy had a mini melt down because she couldn't figure out how to open your stroller open in the parking lot with other cars waiting for her parking spot. What a mess but you handled it with class..you slept through it ;)

Your two week appointment you weighed in at a whopping 9lbs 8oz's and you were 22 1/4 inches long. You are already growing like a weed. I wish time could stand still for a bit even though I can't wait to watch your grow.
