Well, she's finally here and we couldn't be happier. We are all doing well and adjusting to being a family of four.
Here are the details. I'll probably post her birth story later...when I have more time.
She was born at 6:25am on Friday, May 30th. She weighed 8lbs, 7oz and measures 21in. As all newborns do, she has lost some weight. At her 2 day check up she had lost 7% and weighed 7lbs, 12oz. So we had to take her in again the following day to get weighed to make sure she was gaining weight. At the appointment she weighed 8lbs, 2oz...she had gained a whooping 6oz!! Which means breastfeeding is going extremely well. A very different experience than the one I had with Delia.
We are so excited and can't wait for you all to see her. Jake and I were right about her having brown hair. We just didn't think it would be as much or as long as it is, plus we kinda figured all of our kids would be so blond that they looked bald for the first year of their life, like Delia. I think Madeline has more hair right now than Delia did when she turned one.
Delia is adjusting wonderfully to her new role as BIG sister. She is very gentle and loving and genuinely cares for Madeline. She has been extremely well behaved and very helpful. We are very blessed!
And now without further ado....here's a couple of pictures of our little Madeline Mae. I promise I'll post more pictures later.

Congratulations! She's just beautiful, a lovely addition to your lovely family. I hope all continues to go well for the four of you.
much love...
She is very easy to fall in love with, Leslie! She is just so beautiful. I get scared because she is so small, and I have no idea what "being a mom" will be like. I'm so proud of you, you make it look so easy! Now it is Josh and my turn to wait for our little girl... I'll study you and Madeline in the meantime, heehee.
