Madison is Here!

She arrived August 16 at 9:41am. Matt teased about Madison waiting for his birthday (She was due the 10th). Low and behold- she WAS waiting for her Daddy's birthday. Gramm (Meagan's mom) arrived the evening of the 14th and we started having contractions the morning of the 15th. Perfect timing Gramm! The doctor offered to induce when we went in on the 15th, but we wanted to give Madison a little more time to figure things out for herself. The decision was made to induce the morning of the 16th so we headed home. Mommy labored at home all day the 15th. Contractions weren't too bad until just around dinner time. Things got intense, Daddy drove to the hospital and by 10:30pm we were checked in and working toward Madion's arrival. An epidural helped Mommy get some much needed sleep. Madison started down her long journey, broke her water herself and Mommy started pushing around 8:30am. Before you know it, the little angel was here! 7 lbs 2 oz and 21 inches long. No induction needed. Dr Brooks confirmed she was perfect a few hours later during her first check up in the nursery. Her lungs started working right away. She was quick to tell the nurses she wanted her Mommy and wanted her NOW. Would we expect any less knowing her parents? She ruled the roost from the second she arrived. What an amazing little miracle. Madison's Album
