Due Date

Well today was your official due date and instead it marks the third week of your life. I know it is so cliche but time is flying by. Its hard to think that this time three weeks ago I was sitting in my hospital room with a new little baby in my arms only an hour and a half old. I now know why new parents don't sleep-- partly because of their new little one that wants to eat all the time but I think the other half is because if we close our eyes, even for just a minute, we will wake back up and you will be leaving for college. I love every moment with you Madison.

You are such a good baby and I am so lucky to have you for my daughter. You make me smile every day and I love being your mom. Even though you have already pooped on me, I still love you.

Breastfeeding still sucks. No one tells you about this stuff until you are going through it. Your nipples feel like they are going to fall off and supposedly it gets better but I am here to tell you that I am on week 3 and it still kills every time I pump. So little one, remember how much I love you because I sacrificed my ENTIRE body for you.

 Every morning from 10-11 the sun shines in your crib so we have "sunshine time". It first started to help combat your jaundice but you loved it so much we kept doing it. We strip you down and you "dance" in the sun while I play music. You are completely content and happy just playing there. 
 on occasion you have been known to hold your own bottles during feedings, its extremely cute.
 Everyone celebrating with chocolate cigars.
 This was the award dinner for Dad that we went to on our anniversary. You were only 9 days old!


Grandma and Grandpa Murray went back to California today. They are going to miss you so much.
