We are loving every moment with our precious little angel. Madelynne is difficult to put down, since she is cute and just loving the feel of our own baby in our arms. Madelynne had a 2nd day follow-up after discharge, she lost 10 oz. which was the max. to loose, so Ms. Lockhart,NP, said we needed to come back the next day for evaluation. We did the best we could to let her regain some of the weight overnight. We passed with flying colors, she regained 4 oz. Then we swung by L&D. My co-workers and Madelynne just loved her, and My nurse, Michele, was working that day. She shared me how scared she was when Madelynne was delivered that it was just pulse that was present for the first 3 mins of her life. The Lord was good to her that she pinked up before her 10 minutes of life reached. I heard her squirmed then and I was thankful to God that He touched her. That is why she had to go to NICU for few hours for observation. This time she loves to eat, almost every 2 hours, sometimes, every hour. It's amazing that babies can sleep all day and love to bother the adults' sleep in middle of our deep sleep. She doesn't like wet diaper and can fart loud. As Mark said, "My little girl is a rootin', tootin' machine." Enjoy the pictures.

Baby Shower # 2
My Doctors hosted a baby shower for me on Sunday. Michele, my potential nurse baked cup cakes with Madelynne's name spelled on the arrangement. We played games such as making diaper out of paper towel, sucking 4 0z of water from the baby bottle, which the participants said, " it was hard." We played memory game. Dr. Beatty was very generous to open her doors for the party and Dr. Morning handled the games and favors. Madelynne received mostly clothes and a bit from our registry. Luckily the clothes were from newborn to 9 months. A dramatic letter to Madelynne was composed by Michele, tears just welled out from my eyes and from the girls too. It was all a wonderful event. We have at least 1 week left to meet Madelynne Ray Cababat McGee.
