Born Friday, January 29th at 8:23am.
She weighed 8lbs, 7oz, and was 21.1" long.
She is perfect!
Has a full head of hair and already monopolizing our time and hearts.
Zoey is unsure of what she is, or what she's doing here, but is very gentle around her. We think Zoey will figure out soon enough that Maddy is here to stay.
The delivery in a paragraph: Went in Thursday to get checked because I thought my water migth of broken. It had. They checked us in and started me on pitocin since I wasn't dilated more than a centimeter. Pain got bad. Got the epidural. Loved life at that point. We thought she wouldn't be born until noon or after on Friday, so we planned on getting some sleep that night. Wellll, in an hour I went from 3cm to "done" as they put it (10cm). So we started pushing a little before 6am. After 2 1/2 hours she was here and gorgeous! Everything went pretty smoothly and now that we are home and in a rhythm with breastfeeding it's good times.
We got home yesterday and as we left the hospital Mike said this, "Sunday seems like a good day to go home. Like all is right and good with the world." Deep thoughts by Mike Rose. God love him, he's been the best husband and a better dad. He's very nervous about hurting Maddy so he's very delicate with her. He won't carry her and anything else down the stairs because he wants to be extra careful.
We'll try to keep updates about Maddy on the blog so everyone can follow along (if they want to).
