3 weeks old!

Madeline turned 3 weeks old yesterday :D She is such a joy! Words cannot describe the blessing she is to our family. Madeline is an easy baby. She sleeps well in her bassinet. She eats well, and fast (which is nice at night when I want to get back to sleep). She rarely ever spits up... however, when she does, it's A LOT. Now that I think about it, she hasn't truly spit up in 4 days. Maybe she's past the projectile spit up phase?

Madeline had a great 2 week check up! The doc said she looked fantastic! Her stats were:
8 pounds 8 ounces (Hadley was 7 pounds 14 ounces)
21 inches (Hadley was 20 inches)
Head Circumference was in the 17th percentile (Hadley's was in the 90s I think)

Looks like Madeline is on track to be slightly bigger than Hadley, but who knows!

Here is a list of happenings from the last 3 weeks:
-Madeline enjoys her sponge baths. She actually fell asleep while I was washing her hair.
-Her cord has not fallen off yet. Hadley's took a while too.
-We've only had 3 "rough" nights. Seems like too much red sauce (from lasagna and pizza) mess up Mad's belly. That was the cause for part of the rough nights. The last night was a combination of an upset stomach and then being wide awake until 2am.
-Madeline hasn't had an inconsolable crying fit. Even when her tummy hurts, she cries until she's passed gas/made a dirty diaper and then wants to be held. It's like she relaxes better by being cuddled. Makes sense!
-I took Mads to the doc at 10 days old because of a clogged tear duct. Unfortunately, they would not give me the prescription over the phone. Fortunately, when I arrived for her appointment, they sent us directly back to a room that had not been used all day in a section of the office that also hadn't been used. I greatly appreciated this due to all the children coming in with the flu and/or H1N1 (swine) flu. She was already 8 pounds and 1 ounce at this visit. My babies grow fast! Now worries about reaching their birth weight at 2 weeks ;) God blessed me with good milk and good eaters!
-Hadley is a very sweet sister to Madeline. She says, "Hold it!" and many other things. Hadley's very patient with Madeline when she's crying. She'll say, "It's okay Madeline," or "Madeline's crying," or "Madeline's sad," or "Don't cry Madeline!" She hasn't once gotten irritated with Madeline crying, not even during the 15+ minutes of crying in the car. I was very proud of Hadley's patience. Hadley loves her sister very much!
-Madeline has a gorgeous smile! We get to see her smiles when she is dozing off. I am excited to see her first real smile!
-Her hair is not falling out like Hadley's did... at least not yet. It is also lighter than Hadley's was at this time.

I know there is much more to mention, but I can't think of everything right now. Plus, it's 10:30pm, so I want to go to bed!

We will most likely combine the blogs soon so that you can read one blog for info on the girls. Having one blog will also make it easier to update since almost all stories will involve both Hadley and Madeline.

Thanks to everyone for all the meals, diapers, prayers, and congrats! We are so blessed to have two healthy, beautiful, kind daughters. God is good!
