Bear With Me

Posted in Madison, Motherhood on September 30, 2006 | 4 Comments »

I’m having a hard time keeping up right now. Not that Madison is a horrible baby, but I just plain forgot how much work is required in caring for a newborn! Don’t get me wrong, I’m loving every minute of it, (well, almost every minute), but my house is a wreck, pantry needs to be [...]

Outfit

Posted in Madison, Motherhood on September 26, 2006 | 6 Comments »

When I was pregnant with Joshua, Scott and I made a bet. He didn’t think I’d learn how to sew, and he’d bought me a sewing machine years before because I wanted one.
So, he challenged me to make 5 baby outfits before Joshua was born…If I did it, I’d tell him what I wanted…if he [...]

A Lesson In Diaper Changing

Posted in Kids, Madison, Motherhood on September 14, 2006 | 10 Comments »

Do NOT let your guard down…or this could happen.
This is Madison’s bassinet sheet. I woke up yesterday morning and found a wee little dirty diaper.
As I began to clean her cute little bottom, I saw that she was ready to squeeze out some more poo, so I held the diaper over her for a [...]

Here are a couple more pics taken yesterday. Madison is so alert when she is awake and knows her mommy and daddy’s voice.
The red mark under her nose is actually a hemangioma birthmark. We are going to take her to a pediatric plastic surgeon to see when she will need to be treated. I guess [...]

The Big Day

Posted in Adoption, Madison, Motherhood, Patrick on September 6, 2006 | 20 Comments »

I go in tomorrow morning for my C-Section. I’m a bit nervous and hope I can sleep okay tonight. The thought of laying there awake with my body opened up on a table is a bit disturbing. But I have gone through it before.
Patrick is the most nervous about this surgery. I guess he understands [...]

I’m Sorry…

Okay, so of course it was the day after Scott and I got to have our nice little talk and we are working on the house, trying to get stuff done before my mom & the baby gets here. He is about to put up the new set of bunk beds since we moved all [...]

A Little More Intimacy

Posted in Joshua, Madison, Marriage, Pregnancy on September 1, 2006 | 2 Comments »

While waiting to see the Dr at my final OB appointment before the C-Section, Scott confessed to me that the months after having Joshua were the hardest time in our marriage for him. I was shocked to hear that. I asked him why, he said because I was crying all the time. For how long? [...]
