Madeline has arrived!!!











The waiting is over for Madeline's arrival (2/2/10). She is healthy, measures 19", weighs 7 lbs 13 oz, and has dark blonde hair. One of her grandfathers made the observation that her Mom's birthday is the reverse (10/22).

Alexander and I are glad the she and Mom are doing well. Because of the H1N1 rules, he had to wait for us to bring her home today to see her. We called several times yesterday to let him know what was going on. Alexander anticipated each call because he wanted to know how "his baby" was doing.

Today, Alexander excitedly held Madeline for the first time. He also got upset because he had to wait to change Madeline's diaper because she was sleeping. I can tell you that I was not really too upset about the wait. Although, these are the good days when the diapers do not smell so bad.
