Madeline Grace was born on May 17th. She was 8lbs, 13oz and 21" long.
We knew she was going to be big and since both her and her older siblings had scary deliveries, the Doctor felt it would be safest to deliver little Madeline via c-section. They also suggested we do it on the first day of my 39th week. So really, she was one week early and was still almost 9lbs!
I can't imagine how big that little peanut would have been if we had waited. And good thing we did do the c-section. She had the cord wrapped fairly tightly around her little neck and had a very large head. Heck, a very large everything. So chances were very high that she would also have gotten stuck and with that cord around her neck, that would have been scary. So both the doctor and us were happy we had gone the safe route.
Maddie and Mommy came home on Friday and spent the weekend with the two older kiddos just relaxing and enjoying our new and improved family.
Funny enough, seems the dog is the one having the hardest time adjusting. He has gone back to his puppy ways of going potty in the house and being all around very naughty. Hard not to feel sorry for the dog.
Now, on to the fun stuff. PICTURES!
Enjoy!
