Welcome Madison Jane Bucy 4/11/12

I finally have a spare moment to update about Madison's birth.

39 week belly!  This pregnancy actually seemed to go by a lot faster than my other two, but I didn't feel as prepared since we didn't know if it was a girl or a boy.  We finally decided upon a boy name and a girl name the night before the birth!  Whew, talk about last minute!

In triage getting ready for my c section.  My mom brought Brooklyn to the hospital so she could be a part of our special day too!

Here we go!  I had so many emotions going through my head in the operating room.  I was so happy to be meeting our new addition. I was so anxious to find out if it was a girl or a boy.  I couldn't wait to meet our new little bundle.  At least I wasn't nervous about surgery this time since it was the 3rd go round :)
 

It's a GIRL.  Madison Jane, born 4/11/12, 8:19am, 8 lbs, 12oz, 19.5 inches.  This was our smallest baby!

Meeting Mommy for the first time!

Look at all that hair!  We had such a good experience this time around.  Madison was brought directly into the recovery room with me instead of going to the nursery like they did with the other two.  This gave me a chance to start bonding right away, snuggle her and breastfeed before she met anyone else.  It was such a special time for us.  It drove the Grandma's a little crazy because they were still out in the waiting room and didn't know any details yet.

Getting all cleaned up before we moved to our room.

Mommy and Madison.  She is perfect.  It is amazing how your heart opens up just a little bigger and has so much love to give this new member of our family.  I am so blessed!

Brooklyn holding her for the first time.  She absolutely LOVES her baby sister.

The nice part about recovering from a c section... Daddy gets to change all the diapers in the hospital because Mommy can't get out of bed yet  :)

Trenton meeting Madison for the first time.  He was making me laugh.  He kept saying "cute, cute" and trying to kiss her through the plastic in the crib.

The whole time I was pregnant, Brooklyn said she had a "Brooklyn Baby" in her tummy just like Mommy had a baby in her tummy.  So when I had my baby, Brooklyn's baby joined our family too.  She named her Allison.  She got to meet her new baby for the first time at the hospital with us!

I had made Big Brother/Big Sister shirts for the kids to wear to the hospital the first day.  Only I forgot to take pictures of them until they were about to leave and it was past nap time... They didn't want to cooperate.  Oh well.  I'll have to try again later.

Bright eyes

Going home outfit... So pretty!

I was so happy to be checking out of the hospital.  I get more rest at home!

Proud Daddy and Mommy leaving with their new bundle of joy!

First car ride.  Slept the whole way home...

Brooklyn cannot get enough of Madison.  She always wants to hold her, pet her, hug her, kiss her, etc.  And Trenton is the same way.  They love her!

Brooklyn tries to do everything with her baby that I do with mine.  She stole my nursing pillow and figured she'd try that out!  Heehee

Big brother and sister trying to help Madison out in the swing.  Trenton likes to push her fast.  I have to keep an eye out for that boy!

First sponge bath at home...  Needless to say, she didn't like it one bit!
 

Didn't really care for the bouncer chair the first time we put her in there either.   She's got some good lungs for such a little thing!

Snuggled in the swing.  She's so cute!

I am so happy to be a Family of Five now.  We will be busy with 3 kids 3 and under!  Madison is only a week and a half old, and I can't imagine our family without her.  She completes us!  I had forgotten how much time a newborn requires, but she is a good baby and we are managing nicely.  She pretty much just eats/sleeps/poops right now.  I have to cherish these moments with her being so small as I know she will grow up too fast just like Brooklyn and Trenton.

We are so very blessed!
