Pretty Girls

Tuesday, April 26th, 2005

Today while Bill and I took Madeline to the Dr. Aunt Teresa stayed with Kimberly and Annie. She caught a glimpse of Annie and Kimberly’s nails so she took it upon herself to trim them up. She also painted them a beautiful pink. The girls look so cute with their nails [...]

Madeline met Dr. Coulombe

Tuesday, April 26th, 2005

Of course he thought that she was beautiful and divine. She looks great inside and out. He checked her over and told us that she was perfect. She is in the 50th percentile for height and head circumference. Her wieght is only in the 25th percentile though. No wonder she [...]

Of Course I am Nuts

Monday, April 25th, 2005

At least that is what the lactation consultant I saw today thinks. Everything is perfect with Madeline and my breastfeeding techniques. The problems I was having were in fact from engorgement. She is gaining weight and breastfeeding well. Of course I have to have something to worry about so I guess [...]

Hospital photo

Monday, April 25th, 2005

Here is Madeline’s first professional photo. If you click “Previous Picture” you’ll see the one that we ordered.

Enjoying all my babies

Monday, April 25th, 2005

I am finally able to go downstairs today. It is such a pleasure to see all of my girls together. Annie and Kimmie love to come over and check on Maddie. They are not allowed to touch her yet but they do enjoy looking.
Maddie and I are going to the [...]

We are HOME!!!

Sunday, April 24th, 2005

We finally got discharged from the hospital around 9 PM last night. When they were checking Madeline and I out I asked them to check her weight. She is up to 6 pounds 3 and 1/2 ounces. I am so proud of her and her weight gain. I am so happy [...]

Discharge ?????

Saturday, April 23rd, 2005

We have not seen a Dr. yet today. We are hoping that they will come around soon so that we can get discharged sometime today. It would be nice to start settling into the routine at home and relieve Grammy and Grandma and Grandpa Brown from their duties of taking care of the [...]

Update on Maddie

Saturday, April 23rd, 2005

As of last night she weighed in at 6 pounds 1 ounce. She does have a birth mark. I thought that it was a bruise on her back right above her bottom but it is not. It is a Mongolian Spot, her birthmark. She is nursing like a champ still and [...]

And Sometimes the Rain Keeps Coming

Saturday, April 23rd, 2005

Now Kimberly has come down with a fever I guess she did not want to be left out.

Gallery’s Ready

Friday, April 22nd, 2005

Okay, I’ve got the pictures up and available on the web site. You’ll have to figure out where they are.
Just kidding, they’re right here. I haven’t cleaned up the layout (and it’s not very girly at all), but at least they’re up.
Enjoy!
[UPDATE: Oh, and I'll be titling the pictures and putting descriptions up over the [...]

When It Rains

Friday, April 22nd, 2005

So today Annie developed a high fever and a cough. Hmm, haven’t we been here before? We took her to Dr. Coulombe and she’s got croup. Poor thing, she’s having a rough time. Luckily, there doesn’t appear to be any stridor and she’s in pretty good spirits.

Confused

Friday, April 22nd, 2005

Madeline is confused between days and nights. I had forgotten about this aspect of having a newborn.

Finally Decided

Thursday, April 21st, 2005

And the name is…….Madeline Christine Brown!

Recap

Thursday, April 21st, 2005

This is Bill. Sandi has my computer down at the hospital and I can’t remember my password to post under my own account. That’ll teach me to use unique, random passwords! [UPDATE: Edited authorship.]
First things first, we aren’t sure if we’re going to name her Eliza. We’ve always said that we want to see her [...]

Second Day

Thursday, April 21st, 2005

More breastfeeding. Sandi’s doing great and our daughter could’nt be any cuter. I’ll get some pictures up soon.

Feeding Time

Thursday, April 21st, 2005

Sandi’s breastfeeding the baby right now—she latched on right away!

She’s Here

Thursday, April 21st, 2005

She was born at 11:09 pm. She weighed 6 lbs. 10 oz. and was 19 and a half inches long. Sandi is doing well.

Gettin’ Ready

Wednesday, April 20th, 2005

We’re about 15 minutes out now!

Awhile

Wednesday, April 20th, 2005

There’s quite a crowd ahead of us so we’ll probably be going into the OR around 10 pm.

Triage Continued

Wednesday, April 20th, 2005

Her liver and other organs are okay. I’ll post more soon.
