Madalyn is 2 Weeks Old

Monday, April 4th, Madalyn was two weeks old and that was my original due date. We began our morning at 6:00 am to get fed, dressed, and ready to go to the doctor. (The Friday after Madalyn came home we went to the doctor for the first time to get her checked out. Then the Tuesday after she came home, we went to get her hips checked out. With Madalyn being a breech baby, they can have lots of problems with their hips. The doctor that checked her in the hospital said that they looked good and her ped. doctor said they looked good, but wanted to get an ultrasound of her hips just to make sure they are in the sockets correctly so they will grow correctly. Everything checked out fine. We got back in 6 months to check again and as long as things are fine then, we don't have to go back any more about her hips.) So, we went to the doctor and Madalyn weighs 7 pounds now! And she was 20 1/2 inches long. So in two weeks she has gained a pound and grew an inch. The doctor said she looked good; so she goes back in 2 months. She had to get her first shot Monday; her first Hep B shot; and she didn't like that one bit. Then Madalyn got to go to Target for the first time and a few other places. She did so well. However, when we got to Target she decided it was time to eat....so....here I am walking around Target feeding her a bottle, and Mrs. Katie is pushing the stroller and pulling the buggy...it was a very picture worthy moment. When we got home, Madalyn got in a short nap before Brantley came over to take her picture. She did so well during her newborn photo session. The only time she got upset was when we were trying to get her picture with Kevin and that was only because she was hungry. Then we had quite a few people come by to visit. So we had begun our day at 6:00 am and we were finally able to rest at 8:30 pm. It was a long day for both Madalyn and me; we were both very tired. Madalyn is resting very well at night and we are having good days. Yesterday, I went by school to show off my baby girl and Madalyn got to go on her first Wal-Mart run. She does very well riding in the car and in stores with her stroller. So far, we have been blessed with a good baby; not a fussy one. Each day we do something new and she is growing and changing. I noticed this morning as I was feeding her that she was looking big to me. How fast they grow! *Here's a sneak peak at Madalyn's photo session.
