Who Is That and What Have You Done With My Son???

Well after 3 years Brandon has finally had his first haircut.

This is a before picture:


And from behind:


He did wonderfully, sitting still while she cut his hair. He did squirm a little, the clippers kind of scared him.

When she was done he looked like a totally different child.





And just because he is so darn cute!!!

A Comparison

I knew that I had this picture of Brandon:



But then I was going thru the pics of Maddie that were taken the day she was born.



Its simply amazing how much they look alike!

Baby, Where are you?

Brandon for the most part has just ignored Maddie. Every now and then when he sees her, either when I'm holding her or she is in the bouncer, he will say something like "Awwww, she's so cute!"

Well earlier today he went upstairs. Maddie had been sitting in her bouncer but she started fussing so I picked her up. When Brandon came back downstairs he went straight over to the bouncer and said "Where's Baby?"

He then started walking all over the house calling "Baby, where are you?"

Then he walked over to me and said "I can't find Baby."

I showed him that Maddie was in my arms and he exclaimed "I FOUND HER!"

She's Finally Here!!!!

Madison Amelia was born Monday November 10, 2008 at 5:36 pm. She weighed in at 10lbs 1.6oz and was 22in long!

Update for being MIA - and will continue to be MIA.

For a little while anyway.

I ended up making my first trip to L&D, my BP has been elevated and there were trace amounts of protein. So I have been put on complete bedrest. My due date was Monday. I was really hoping that I would be talking induction, because of all of this and her size I'm so done being pregnant!

They will not induce until I'm 42 weeks. She was 8lbs 9oz according to the ultrasound I had 2 weeks ago. I thought Brandon was big at 9lbs 6oz - looks like this one is going to be much bigger.

I have to go for a NST twice a week and I might be able to sched the induction at my next appt.

I'm still not dilating or anything so I've pretty much given up the hope of going on my own. She is going to be as stubborn as her sister! LOL

Looking at my calendar 2 weeks from today is the release party for Capture Cincinnati. Looks like I might not be able to make it.

Just a small update.

I had an ultrasound yesterday. At 38 weeks 3 days this "little" girl is already weighing in at around 8lbs (give or take 1lb.)

At this point she has dropped so I'm really hoping that she comes any day now, though a LOT of people are pulling for Halloween!!!

I'm just wondering if she is 8lbs already, whats another week going to do?

It seems the baby watch is on!!! LOL I know that we have been getting a few calls everyday, just to see if I'm in labor yet! At least its not to the point where I'm going to change the outgoing message on our voicemail, YET anyway! LOL

5 Years Ago Today!

My beautiful little princess came into this world.



Its so hard to believe how fast the time is going, how fast she is growing.

Her first Halloween - she was only 3 weeks old.


Unfortunately I don't have very many pics of her on my computer when she was a baby as I didn't have a digital camera at that time and well, my scanner isn't the greatest.
