New Baby Boy

This is my cousin Char'lee's new little big boy. He was born on the 15th at a whopping 9 lbs 10 oz and 21 1/2 inches. His name is Ayson Ray and he looks like a two month old and has the cutest chubby cheeks. I was lucky enough to get to be with them all day and night. She finally had him cesarean at 11:30 pm. Both mom and baby are doing great.

Congrats to the new Mommy and Daddy!!

Easter!!

We went out to Grandma' s this year and decorated eggs with Hudson and Desiree'. I kept saying that it looked like a bad idea and I spent most of the time taking control of Maycee and before you knew it Hudson was green and Maycee kept tasting the colors. Both of the little ones spilled a color and Kimberlen got mad when we had to clean up before all the eggs were dyed. Kimberlen got to finish all by herself up on the counter.

The next morning we got up and went to Fisher Park to the Easter Egg Hunt. It was really crowded and didn't last long, but both girls got their fair share of candy. My mom stayed with Maycee in the 2 and under age group and I took Kimberlen across the park to her age group. The eggs were all gathered in one minute and fifteen seconds. We met in the middle afterwards to go through the eggs. They asked us to empty the candy out of the eggs so that they would be able to reuse them next year. I think the girls had a great time with Grandma. Later that night we had and awesome steak dinner.

Easter morning was pretty fun. We tried to get the girls to go through their baskets before they looked for eggs but the Easter Bunny was so kind he made it easy for the eggs to be spotted so that Maycee would be able to find them. This resulted in many breaks during the basket time to get eggs. Both girls were able to find several eggs and got some really fun stuff. We then had a great egg and ham breakfast.

Brylee loved all of the above too. I guess I should of taken a picture of her at the park and then this morning. Oh-well there is always next year. I will post some pictures of her next time.

Introducing BRYLEE JANE

Brylee Jane Madsen

12:09 am

6 lbs. 1 oz.
19 1/2 inches

This little girl was in a bit of a hurry to get here. When she finally arrived we were so happy to see her. She looks just like her sisters, but is by far the smallest. Labor and delivery went really well and we were able to enjoy the event.

This is of her on a little couch. Grandma Robin came and stayed all day so that Eric could go home to sleep and I could get some rest. Thanks mom, we love you.
Eric brought Kimberlen up to the hospital to see her before she went to school. That was exciting for her. Kimberlen just loves her. She says that she could hold her all day long and not even get bored.

Maycee's turn. As soon as she got in the room she wanted Brylee to have her blanket. This is Maycee's favorite thing in the world so we were shocked she wanted to share. She is always concerned about where Brylee is and what she is doing. I hope it continues this way.

This sleeping pictures are just priceless.

This is her first outfit, we're getting ready to go home. Yay!!

She is a bit on the yellow side and so this is just a little sunbathing in the living room today.

Update

Hopefully this will be the last update and the next post will be pictures of our baby. The Dr said today that I was a five and stripped my membranes. OUCH!! It didn't feel too good and he was pretty forceful. He couldn't believe that I was still pregnant. He had me walk around for an hour after my appointment and figured I would be back either today or by tomorrow night at the latest. I am leaning towards tonight. Cross your fingers and wish me luck. I don't think I can get any bigger. I will try and get a picture of myself even if I have to have Kimberlen take it before I go to the hospital.

This week

All is steady here. I am still a 4 and 75% but my Dr doesn't think it will be long now. He wants to see me again next Wed. instead of Fri. if I make it that long on my own. If I would have been a week and a half further along he would have sent me down and broke my water and we would of had a baby. Well I will keep you all up to date on what goes on and when she actually comes. And no, she still does not have a name.

Front Tooth

Kimberlen finally lost one of her front teeth. This time it happened at home so she was finally able to put a tooth under her pillow. Eric and I were watching tv about 9:30 and she walks in and says "Can you see what I am missing?" It was kinda dark but I could tell that her tooth was gone and she had blood all over her fingers and mouth. YUCK! We got her cleaned up and back to bed. Since this is the first tooth she hasn't lost (after she lost it) she wanted me to take a picture of it.

And here is a picture of Maycee too.

Weekly Update

To keep it short and sweet.......After my Dr appt. today I am now a good 4 and 75%. My Dr keeps telling me to stay pregnant as long as I can, but did make sure and mention that he would be the one on-call this weekend just in case. He also told me to make my appt. for next week in case having those a week in advance would help my cause with some type of superstition. I am going to try to hang in there but wanted everyone to know it could be any day now.

Pregnancy Update

I saw my doctor last night and he had pretty good news. I am a good 3 and 70%. This is not a significant change from 3 weeks ago so my outlook is good. He thinks I will be able to stay pregnant for another 2 weeks which will take me to a safer date if she decides to come early. I am still on bed rest til at least then and need to keep taking it easy.....(it's killing me) We still have not agreed on any names yet and the closer it gets the harder it is. Eric doesn't really like any of the ones I like and the ones he likes are kinda boring. We do share a few that we both like so we shall see where it takes us.

I forgot....her hair!

I forgot to post these pictures of Kimberlen's hair. She wanted something special for the Valentines party they had at school so we looked at the hair blogs out there and decided on this one. It took a little while but it wasn't too hard, and it even looked good after all day at school. She also wore her cute heart shirt. She thought she was pretty special. And of course she was.
