8 pounds, 2.7 ounces

21.5 inches

seconds old...

she's already a daddy's girl... she zonked out with him for awhile- neither of them moved a muscle for over an hour! we got lucky and were moved to the one room in the hospital that's not a labor and delivery room... meaning, big queen sized bed!

madison and mommy

see? SO a daddy's girl!

she sleeps SO well... the first night, she slept for 3 or 4 hours solid, not a twitch or squeak. we're hoping that trend will continue, but as experience tells it, that may not necessarily be the case. either way, who cares? she's here and she's OURS!!! she's perfect, we think... she's got this purple birthmark on her scalp by her cowlick and a very oddly placed dimple under her right eye that shows only when she cries (we'll see if it shows when she smiles...) and she's just a long skinny thing. she's got incredibly slim, long fingers and toes and her legs, well, there's no thunder-thighs for this little peanut!

cole met madison at the hospital on friday... he did very well for being only 17 months. he was very gentle most of the time (he tends to strike out a little when he's frustrated so she did get a little swat on the side of the head, but it didn't phase her) and seemed a bit cheesed at mommy. he did excellent tonight, our first night back together as a family! he's a little confused as to where he stands now, but i think he'll adjust really well to his new role as a big brother. he's already shown plenty of affection; he rubbed madison's head, kissed her, snuggled his face next to her, tried to give her a paci... of course, when she didn't take it, he decided he'd suck on it instead, which inspired a round of pass-the-paci. anyway, we're all healthy and back together (oh, did i miss cole like i've never missed anyone in my life!!) and we couldn't be happier! i think this littl girl's a keeper!!
