3 weeks old

Here is Madison Leigh at 3 weeks. I tried to get in at her 1 week mark but that just didn't happen with Thanksgiving and other things. Mainly the snow.

Newbie

John holding his bouncing baby girl. She loves being in his arms. You need her to go to sleep, give her to him.

Laundry Basket

One night I stayed at my moms and Madison didn't sleep well in the pack and play, so we stuck her in there. She slept soundly.

Surgery

In January I had my gallbladder taken out and a tubal. John had to take a week of to help me but everything went fine. Now hopefully no more gallbladder attack. I have heard that you can still get them.

Christmas 2005

Here is John and Katie(the proud big sis.) We are going home today. Katie picked out Madison's outfit.

The second big day!!

Well once again I found myself waiting. Waiting for my second pride and joy to be born. She was due one the 3rd day of November. But this time I did not go naturally. So on November 10, I went to the hospital to be induced. It only took me 4 hours this time (after the medicine started to work). So at 6:40 pm on Thursday November 10, 2005 our daugther Madison Leigh was born weighing in at 7 pounds,15 ounces and standing 20 3/4 inchs tall. It was an exciting time because there was 3 women crowning at the same time. But Maddie was first.

I found out in March we are to have another baby. Yeah!!! Due in November. John told me I should post my pregnancy pictures do here they are. The first is Maddie and the second is Katie both a day or two before. Never did I get one stomache always two. So I just look fat.

Catching up

Well by now Katie is getting so big. We have two animals, a cat (Chester) and a dog ( Chloe). John has become an over-the-road truck driver, or as he puts it a relocation specialist. It was hard for us all to get adjusted to. In 2003 John worked for DM Bowman out of Williamsport. He worked there for 6 months then went to work for D & M Express out of Cranberry in 2004. We had a busy summer with 4 weddings, two of which we are in. Charlie and Laura June 19, Shawnda and Jason June 26, Leanna and Steve Aug 7 and Arlene and Tonys Sept 12. Plus Katie is turning
2.

First Birthday

Now our baby girl is 1. Wow how fast the time went. We had a big party at home with all her family and friends. I can't wait for the following year.

These pictures are all before her 1st birthday. And they are my favorite.
