Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh............ (that's a sigh of relief, not distress!)
It feels so amazing to finally be home. We have had such a great first week and Madeline is a total dream baby. When awake, she's alert and so content. She's nursing well and I'm tolerating everything so much better this time around. My recovery is going very smoothly now that I'm home and I feel like I'm bouncing back very quickly.
Mom has been here and has been a complete god-send as always. Luckily, Madeline is pretty content and has been sleeping well enough at night that I've been able to handle it with a little relief from Christopher. I think that's made this visit a little more relaxing and enjoyable for Mom, and means she has more energy to help out during the day.
Our first weekend home, Dad came back and brought Grandma Cox to visit and meet Maddy. Jackie T also came for a visit and was totally enamored with Maddy. We had a great Father's Day weekend including Thomas' baseball game and a yummy dinner of steak and potatoes for Christopher Sunday night. Maddy got lots of attention and cuddles, and we made it to Mass on Sunday morning for the first time.
I've had so much fun introducing Maddy to her new home, dressing her in the millions of adorable dresses, onesies and outfits I've been staring at for months. We have had an amazing first week and I can't wait to see how she grows and develops.
Maddy visited the pediatrician on her one week birthday and weighed in at 7 lbs. 4 oz. She is very healthy and our doctor is thrilled with her weight gain. We go back one more time next week to make sure she doesn't have any big losses then we're home free!
