I can't believe how fast time goes after you have a baby.

Maddilyn is 3 weeks old already! She is such a good baby. The kids absolutely love to hold her and watch her every day. First thing in the morning, both kids are in our room wanting to hold and look at baby Maddi. She isn't much of a sleeper, she is up every 2 hours on the dot, ready for her next meal.

Maddi's first doctors appointment after one week, she had already gained 10oz. It will be interesting to see how much she'll weigh next week for her one month.

Karlee new favorite thing is to pretend our "BIG" bathtub is a pool. She will sit in the pool for hours in her Little Mermaid tube and sing. It is so funny to sit in the other room and listen to her sing about random things.

A must see!

A couple of nights ago my mom volunteered to watch my 3 kids while Steve and I had a night out on the town. We decided to go see this movie because we had heard so much about it. I just have to say... it was the funniest movie I have seen for a LONG time. Steve and I were crying during the movie because we were laughing so hard. We had people staring at us because we were making so much noise, but we truly couldn't hold back.

So for your next date night, we suggest

"The Proposal".

1 week, 1 day

Maddilyn is one week old. It is amazing how fast the days go by AFTER you have the baby. The first week has been filed with doctor and hospital visits because of her jaundice.

Steve left Sunday morning to go back to Des Moines to take tests for a week. He had to miss out on the first week of her life, so sad. She has changed SO much.

(A pretty brain-squeezer on her head! Especially made for Papa Steve and Daddy.)

(Peace Out!)
(Hello!)

As you can see Maddi was very jaundice and has been my little glow worm (bili-blanket) for the past four days, but I'm happy to report that she is back to normal. I'm so happy that I can carry her from room to room without having her attached to a machine!

She's here!

We think she is wearing a wig?!?!

I can't believe how fast my kids are growing up. These last couple of weeks I have been amazed at the changes they have made. They are excited for the new baby and have made all sorts of cards and toys for her. On Sunday I tried to get my kids to hold still for a few pictures..........this is what I got!

Dressin' up in daddy's clothes to play superhero!

Do you think they are a little bit big?!?!
