Well I cant believe she has been here for eight weeks. I cant believe my baby is almost 2 months old already. The last 8 weeks have been quite the challenge between moving, painting, a new baby, decorating, the crying, sleepless nights, feelings of abandonment and so many other emotions I'm glad our life is finally calming down now. next Sunday Madison will be blessed and given her name at church by her daddy.
as for the house:
Madison's room is painted and decorated as far as i can get for now
the guest room has a bed with a mattress, its been painted and the floors cleaned
the kitchen is finished and fully functional
the dining room only has one box left sitting in it
our bedroom is unpacked (except a box of my shoes)
the desk is up and the computer is functional (but for some reason the screen is a little blurry)
and there's only about 10 boxes of mostly decorations and books left to put out
as for Madison:
She recently started cooing and smiling
she will play on the floor or in the bouncer or on the changing table for quite a while now especially if she is in a good mood
she normally sleeps 4-5 hours at a time at night
Church is quite the challenge with her since my calling is so demanding and Anthony has to work most Sundays
she is very alert and attentive to what is going on around her
She LOVES her pacifier
Sleeps in the big crib during the day but not at night yet
she HATES tummy time and cries the whole time
she goes to park days every Tuesday from 10-12
In all Motherhood was nothing like I expected...I thought i was prepared but I WASN'T PREPARED IN ANYWAY FOR WHAT WAS COMING
I love her so much and I'm glad she is here she makes my life full and have purpose but boy is she a challenge

Newborn and 2 Weeks old
her first outing was to a sushi restaurant at 8 days old and mommy was super happy because it had been a long time since i had some good sushi
Statistics
born at
7 lbs 11.6 oz (25th %)
19 inches long (50th %)
We took her to meet her pediatrician Dr. Lui. He's amazing period! he's a little on the younger side but very helpful and informative.
At 2 weeks old:
8 lbs 4 oz (50th %)
20.5 inches long (50%)
at two weeks she was very alert and active. I never really had a newborn as far as the sleeping and eating thing. she has always been pretty alert and lays and plays on the floor frequently. she goes back for her 2 month appointment in February. she is such a joy in our life i dont know how we ever lived without her!
