Interesting News

OK, so we're home with the "new" family, YAY! But things are a little rough right now. Poor Ava doesn't really want to associate with anyone, and Caleb can't get enough of Madi. I swore that things would have been different. But on another note, Madi went to the Dr. today and we found out something interesting. So apparently in a half-assed attempt to get the job done, the nurse who was cleaning and measuring Madi, went a little too quick withe her measurements. Madilyn is actually 19-3/4" long! How do you make that big of a mistake?! Over 2" difference! Well I guess I just wanted to share that withe everyone, since everybody thought she was a lot longer than she actually is. More good news, she is doing great, and so is mommy. No if we could just get some rest.....

Pop Goes The Weasel

Old MacDonald Had A Kix

Overdue

Well maybe not. Who knows at this point. All along the Doctors couldn't make up their minds wether it was going to be 3/11 or 3/17. So maybe we aren't overdue. All we know, is, that she isn't moving! I know, maybe she comfy in there. Well, nobody else is! So my guess (3/7) and Elaine's guess (3/10) are null and void. When I told Heather my new guess, she wasn't very thrilled with me. 3/20 is my latest guess. We do go Thursday to see the Dr. to discuss our options. So, we will obviously keep everyone posted. Until then................ADIOS!

The waiting game

So, I know that she's not due for another 5 days, but, come on already!! Don't you want to meet evryone yet?! Now, I feel awful for Heather. She's in so much discomfort, hard to breathe, impossible to get in ANY comfortable position. It's bad enough I annoy her on a regular basis, but you really aren't helping my situation here Ms. Madilyn!! I just find it hard to beleive that you're getting this much enjoyment from torturing your mother ALREADY! I mean, you aren't even born yet!! How bad will it be 2 years from now, when you're your brother and sister's age? Holy cow...I don't even want to think about that!! OK, so, I guess my point here is just get here already!! We want to see you!!! But get here safely, OK??

~Josh

We need your opinions!!

OK, so as the time gets closer we're wondering more than ever if anyone can guess a couple things.
1. When will she be born?
2. How much will she weigh?
3. How long will she be?
So, if you want to take a guess, we would love to hear you opinions. Please just a guess (an educated one woulde be preferable). So if your the winner.....umm.....you can win a cracker. OR a cookie if you really like sweets.
