Madeleine Noel 1.12.14

Our little lady decided that she needed a little encouragement to come and meet us so around 10:30am on January 12, we headed to the hospital for me to be induced.  Everything went well.

I had doctor daddy there moving the mouse on the computer when the nurse left the room so that we could monitor the contractions.  I pushed twice before Desi told a joke that got me laughing pretty hard.    My doctor said to be careful because I might laugh the baby out and sure enough, I did.

Madeleine was born at 5:30 pm weighing 7 lbs, 14 oz and was 19" long.  This was our first meeting.

being measured and...

meeting Daddy.

41 weeks

The plus side of this little lady making us wait a few extra days to meet her is some lovely late term photos. This is from this morning.

Singing for presents

Christmas Eve

I came down with the stomach flu shortly after we arrived at our Christmas Eve party so I was unable to document much of the evening. The kids had a blast running around with their cousins.

Papa Dave's visit

Papa Dave came to town for an annual work dinner in early December.  Here are some of the pics from the wonderful visit.
He was the mystery reader in James' class.
