Memorial Day

Hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day! I greatly appreciate all that all the service men and women have done for our country!

I want to say a big thank you to my bubba who is fighting for our freedom!

We went to a cookout at some friends house from church on Monday evening.

The Monahan's grilled burgers, had backyard baseball and a giant slip-n-slide.

FUN was had!

Today I went for my 6 week OB check up. Dr. said that everything looked great with my incision and cleared me to start exercising.

When I went for my first appointment back in September I weighed 271, when I went to my last appointment before I had Maddie I weighed 260 and today I weighed 236. VERY EXCITING! Less than I have weighed in a long time! Now onto getting under 200!

Fun weekend!

We have made a very low key weekend to rest at home and spend time as a family, well FUN!:)

Today Maddie played on her Boppy with her foot and wrist rattles. She really seems to like these.

All dressed up for church this morning, then off to shop!:)

This is Maddie and I on Friday night watching Baby Einstein. She really likes these!:)

Last Thursday Ole Miss came to NWA to play the Diamond Hogs. William went to the Thursday night game so Maddie and I rooted for them from home.

Maddie in her Ole Miss gear for the game.

The Rebels won, and this is what Maddie thinks about it!

Saturday, Maddie got dressed up to go shopping at the mall with Mommy & Daddy.

We have had crazy tornado weather since last Sunday. It has been terrible! Joplin, MO was hit on Sunday night, which is just an hour north of us and then on Tuesday night Denning, AR was hit, which is a couple of hours south of us. Praise God, that we made it through without any damage.

Our church has been going up to Joplin everyday this week and taking volunteers to help out with the clean up. William went with them one day this week and it is just unreal the damage that is there, and all I got to see were pictures. I cannot even imagine what it is like in person. Joplin and Denning are in our prayers.

1 month

Madelyn Grace

You are 1 month old today.

You are wearing size 1 diaper.

You are wearing 0-3 month clothes.

You sleep between 4-5 at a time at night.

You are such a good baby. You smile at Daddy & I lots. The only time you really cry is when your hungry or really sleepy. You like to nap on Mommy's chest during the day and I just love it!

You love you paci, but when you don't want it it usually flies out! You really like your bouncer seat.

Last Tuesday you were up to 10 pounds.

Every time you get in your car seat you sleep! You seem to like it:)

Ole Miss girl...

Saturday we took a little adventure and went to Tulsa. We needed to see how Madelyn travels, and I must just saw she did great!

She wore her first Ole Miss outfit in honor of her first trip.

Here she is posing for the camera:)

Baby Dedication.

Last Sunday, on Mother's Day we had Madelyn dedicated at our church. It was so sweet!

Here is a picture of my 2 loves while we were waiting for the dedication to begin.

Who do I look like?

Here's our baby pictures with Madelyn in the middle.

I def think she looks like both of us.

Who do you think she looks like?

Happy Mother's Day...

Happy Mother's Day!

Today was my first Mother's Day and it was nothing less than FABULOUS!

We started the day by having Madelyn dedicated at our church, then we spent the afternoon eating lunch at Qdoba, which just opened and shopping at the local mall.

Madelyn won a gift card at church this morning for being the youngest baby, at 3 weeks old.

This evening we relaxed at home and William grilled burgers for me...YUM!!!

This is Madelyn and I before we left for church this morning.

2 week check-up

On Monday Madelyn had her 2 week well baby check up.

She weighed in at 9 pounds 5.8 ounces. :)

The Dr. told me that I don't have to wake her up anymore to feed her, yeah! She sleeps between 4-5 hours at night.

She is such a good baby!!!

At her Dr. appt she had a blocked tear duct that looked like it was getting infected so we got some antibiotics to put in her eye 3 times a day for a week and it looks so much better now.

Here she is yesterday before going to watch Daddy play tennis. Her onesie says "Hi! I', new here."

Today is William's first day back to work since Madelyn was born. It is definitely different, and we miss him but I guess we had to get back to reality at some point:/

Our friends started bringing us dinner this week and I must just say it is so nice!:)
