Fun in the Sun!

We have been enjoying some nice sunny days lately! Last weekend we had a picnic for the PCSOM family. Madison enjoyed being outside and enjoying some fresh air! She went to the picnic looking all cute in a new dress, but she came home in just a diaper! She spit up on her dress, so I just stripped her down so she could enjoy some "nakey" time! I swear I think she is the happiest when she is just in her diaper!!



On the 15th, Gabe and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary! It feels like just yesterday we were in Mexico saying "I Do". Time has just flown by and so much has changed in just 3 short years! Our friends, Tiffany and Aaron watched Miss Maddie while we went to eat a new Japanese restaurant in town. We had a great time getting out, (and it was our first "date" since she was born) but I have to admit I did miss her while we were gone!

Well I have been busy packing up our apartment. It sure is bittersweet to say good-bye to our Kentucky home. I am getting sad thinking about saying our good-byes. We have some really great friends here and the support that I have from the other med school wives is just unbelievable. I could have never survived without them! I will miss everyone so much!!!


I leave on Wednesday to head home for Memorial Day weekend. We are celebrating my Omi's 70th birthday. I can't wait to see all my family and for them to see Maddie. They are going to be so surprised at how much she had changed. Most of them haven't seen her since she was 7 weeks old. She is not just a little newborn anymore, she is a "tiny human" (as Gabe puts it). I sure hope Maddie enjoys the pool because she looks so darn cute in her bathing suit!

Update on Miss Maddie

I forgot to mention in our last post that we found out a week ago that Maddie is allergic to the protein in milk! She has been on Nutramigen (a hypoallergenic formula) for a week now. Her belly issues have gotten so much better. She is still a little fussy during feedings, but she is overall doing much better. She had an upper GI done yesterday at the hospital. She did great...poor thing had to drink a bottle of barium and was put under an x-ray machine. Maddie was such a little trooper while Mommy was a nervous wreck! The Upper GI came back completely normal, so we are so relieved...we know nothing is wrong with her stomach & esophagus Maddie is still gaining weight, so that is all that matters!! We went back to the Pediatrician today and at 14 weeks she weighs an even 15 lbs! She is also sleeping much better at night. We are averaging anywhere from 5-7 hours in a row which has made all the difference in the world!!

Mother's Day

I had a wonderful 1st Mother's Day! My mom came to Kentucky for the weekend to see us. She brought Brady with her, so I got to see my first born! He hung out in all his favorite spots in the apartment. It is funny that he remembers everything here in Kentucky even though he has been living with my mom for a couple of months now.
On Sunday we went to Jenny Wiley State Park where they had a Mother's Day brunch. We celebrated with our wonderful friends, Tiffany & Aaron and their sweet baby girl Aleah. It was a beautiful day, so we were able to get some pretty pictures. Maddie looked so cute wearing her ladybug outfit that her Mimi bought her! Of course she brought 3 more outfits for her...Maddie always looks so cute thanks to my mom!!
I got beautiful flowers and a sweet card from Gabe and Maddie. It was a great day!

3 months old

Madison is 3 months old today! Can you believe it?!! We had to take her to the doctor today for a follow-up to make sure she didn't have an ear infection anymore. The ear infection had cleared up, thank goodness! Here are her 3 month stats:

14 lbs 10 oz
23 1/2 inches

She is somewhere between 75-90%tile for weight (according to a chart I looked at online). She is a growing girl!!

This weekend is Mother's Day. My first one and I'm looking forward to it. My mom is coming to Kentucky for the weekend, so it should be a really fun time! I can't wait!!
