The New Family

This past week has been fun, exciting, and exhausting. The new little baby is so much fun. We are amazed at how much we love Madison already. She was born 6 pounds 9 ounces but the day before we left the hospital she weighed just under 6 pounds. Becca was very concerned and a little frustrated. She spent all night feeding her and she was able to get Madison to gain a little weight. She spends the majority of the day just sleeping. I love to hold her and just watch her sleep, it's so much fun!

Lucas has been staying at his Grandma Sally's house, so it will be interesting to see how Becca and I do with both of the monkeys in the house. Lucas loves to give his little sister kisses and he also likes to honk her noise. Becca is doing very well in comparison to the last cesarean section.

We were talking about it and we have no doubt our Doctor this time was more skilled and qualified. He made sure everything was perfect before he completed the surgery. I heard him several times say before he pulled Madison out, "I'm in no hurry to deliver the baby, lets clean the scar tissue and the scar first." He told us the last surgery didn't look very good, and if Becca tried to do a normal delivery Madison could have burst through the uterus. Becca is walking around and traveling with me around places. With Lucas she was in so much pain and was in bed for at least a week after returning from the hospital.
Everything is going great with the new little one. We can't express enough to our families how thankful and grateful we are to them for all the help and assistance.

Wow! You have darling babies! What a cute family! If Madison is half as funny as her brother, you will be constantly laughing! I think little Madison has the sweetest, cutest and most petite face ever! I could stare at her all day . . . but Lucas wouldn't think that was much fun! I'm so glad you live close by and let me enjoy seeing them so often. It's a treasure!
Love, g ma Narducci
