Has it already been a month???

** WARNING: LOTS OF PICS!! **

Almost one month ago we were blessed with a little angel named Madison! I can't believe that so much time has gone by already, she is growing so fast - everyday with her is amazing! She is the best thing that's ever happened to us and we couldn't be happier!

As most of you might know, I've been a little behind on blogging... which of course I blame 100% on my baby girl! Due to lack of sleep, non-stop feedings and hours of just staring at her, I haven't had much time. But no more excuses, from this point on, I'm back to updating the blog regularly!! :-D

So here is a recap:
Madison was born at 9lbs .08 oz and was 20.5in long. As of Tuesday, she is now 10lbs 4oz and 22in long, the pediatrician said she was in the 95% and is doing great!

She's such a lucky little girl, so many people wanted to visit!
"Uncle" Matt

Aunt Candice

Uncle John

Aunt Melanie

Cousin Gracie

Grandma Ivy

Some people drove hours and some even flew across the country!

Aunt Misty flew in from San Francisco

Great Uncle Wendy and Great Aunt Debbie drove down from Fresno

She even got to meet her Great Great Uncle Llyod, also from Fresno!

Her Great Aunt Karen came all the way from Pennsylvania

-------------------------------------------------------------

So I'm a little obsessed with taking pictures of my little angel. I love to dress her up in all her cute outfits! She's sooo cute when she sleeps...

Especially when she's moves her arms around, she loves to have her hands near her face :-D

But when she's awake, I get to look at those big blue eyes!!

I'm torn between my favorites - her sleeping with her hands in the air OR her awake looking at me with those beautiful eyes! I think I just love any picture of her :-D

Madison really is such a great little girl, luckily she's not too fussy (unless she's hungry... just like her mom), Deven and I can't get enough of her, we just love her so much!! All of the sleepless nights are worth every second we get to spend with her (plus Madison loves cuddling with her mommy and daddy).

1st Doctor visit

Today was Madison's first outing... off to the doctors! We met with our pediatrician (who is super nice) and then went to lunch. Madison did very well, she slept most of the day and didn't fuss too much at the doctors. We are so lucky to have such a wonderful little girl!!

Home from the hospital

Today we brought Madison home from the hospital! It was such an eventful day, she got to experience her first car ride, (which was a little traumatic at first, but she settled down once we started driving), she tried out her swing and all her favorite people were at the house waiting to visit with her.

So happy to be home!

not too happy about the car seat

She had so many visitors!!
All her Grandpa's and Grandma's were there, plus her Great Aunt Sandra and her Uncle Jared

The boys celebrated her arrival with some of Grandpa Glenn's very special tequila, followed by some relaxing tv/couch time :)

After everyone had thier turn holding her, Madison tried out her swing

then took a well deserved nap!

I can't even begin to describe how much I love her, she's just perfect!

Madison Nicole has arrived!!

The big day finally arrived!

Madison Nicole was born on September 9, 2010 at 4:55pm. She's 9lbs .08oz and 20.5 inches long. She has brown hair, blue eyes and is the most beautiful baby I've ever seen (yes, I know I'm a little bias). She is healthy and perfect!

We checked in Thursday morning around 12:15am and they started the induction process. By about 4pm (yes, that is 16 hrs later) I was 10cm and ready to start pushing! The doctor came in, we pushed for less than 20 min and she was out!

We are still at the hospital and will be taking her home tomorrow morning. I will post more info soon, but daddy Deven wants me to get some sleep, so here are some pics to enjoy!
