A walk around the block...

Madelyn is doing well! All the alarms from the apnea monitor seem to still be false! Phew! She had a sort of rough night last night. So did mommy. Her reflux seemed to be in full force. She spit up quite a bit and neither of us really slept much until about 5am. We are both very thankful for Grandma. Thanks to Luke and Grandma, I have been able to take 2 much needed naps today. Hopefully tonight holds a little sleep and a lot less discomfort for Madelyn.

She is chunking up more and more each day. I love her cheeks. Both sets are pretty darn cute :)

It seems so strange to sit at home on a Sunday morning. Madelyn cannot wait to meet her church family at West Lake. The downside of being born in the fall with respiratory problems the year a new strain of the flu is spreading like crazy, is having to wait to make your big debut!!

This afternoon my mom asked Madelyn if she was ready to go for a walk...This is the "do I really have a choice" face she made. Little girls must come out of the womb rolling their eyes these days. I have no idea where she got this from. I most certainly never rolled my eyes at my mom. Right, Mom?

Madelyn seemed to enjoy our walk. She slept the entire time. Her apnea alarm went off so many times that I think the neighborhood thought their fire alarms were going off (it really is THAT loud). They were all running outside to see what was going on. Ok, actually they weren't running outside...but it would have been funny if they were. Hopefully the monitor's false alarms did not disturb anyone's Sunday afternoons. It was so great to be outside and enjoy the fresh air and beautiful fall weather. We may just have to do this again tomorrow.

  2. I know what you mean about being careful during flu season. We felt the same way and became hermits for a couple months. Better safe than sorry, especially with the swine flu going around. Your little family is so precious! Thanks for all the updates and sharing your lives with us. We are so happy for your guys and thankful to see God's great work in you all.

  4. Glad you're playing it safe with Maddie and all of the flu going around. At least everyone can see all the adorable pictures of her. And Kathryn, you look great! I can't believe you had a baby less than a month ago.

    Love, Nancy
