Madelyn

Things are all falling into place this week. Madelyn is getting on some sort of schedule with eating and sleeping. The dogs are adjusting nicely...always having to know where she is.... they are learning to love her!

Mike ventured out today to stain the fence..... I don't think either of us realized how big it actually is. He got the whole inside stained this afternoon/evening. Tomorrow will be the inner boards of the inside..... it's a 4 day project I told him. So me and Miss Madelyn spent the day together watching tv, cooking, she slept most of the day and I got some stuff done around the house.

She is such a joy and we love her more and more everyday!

(She has Michael wrapped around her little finger already....except when she has explosive poop. But you'll have that!)

Adjusting Nicely

Things are going well at the Kocmit house so far. Madelyn, the pups, Michael and I are adjusting pretty nicely!

She had her first doctor visit yesterday and all is in order. A touch of jaundice so we need to take her out for a tad each day (of course it's gloomy this week). She now weighs 7lbs 3oz. She goes back in a week for a weight check since she is a tad on the skinny side. We need to feed her more so that will help. And this little piggy is taking it all!

Thank you to everyone who has visited or sent their blessing/warm wishes this week. We have received a lot of great help since we have been home, and we appreciate it all! Thank goodness we have friends and family here that love us so much. She is a little doll and I'm excited to get my normal body back (in time) and start our journey as parents.

(Gavin has fallen in love with his sister, always right there with her. Smokey too but I can't seem to get a picture of him with her.)

Oh..and Happy Birthday Mom/Grandma Holewinski!

At Last baby comes

Welcome little Madelyn Rose Kocmit

Born 7:00am Saturday, August 22, 2009

7lbs 11 oz.
20 inches

Her ride home from the hospital....

Even the dogs love her. It was a little crazy at first but now they are protective and very interested in her!

We are all doing good and are enjoying our first night at home. More pictures and such to come tomorrow. Thank you all for the support and warm wishes!

Week 39

The heat is on! With it being in the high 80's -90's.... things have gotten a little more uncomfy! But at least the fans and A/C attempting to work, I've managed to stay semi-cool.

I'm still keeping busy working during the morning. Then hanging out with the pups once I get home. They are some lazy dogs!

The doctor says I am now at 4 centimeters. If I make it to my next appointment we will talk about inducing me on my due date next Wednesday. Never thought I'd make it this far. The little monster must really like it in there! It seems like things are moving along in here.... but then again, what do I know! So the waiting game continues! Just looking forward to a cooler weekend! I never thought I'd miss the 75 degree weather.

Stay cool everyone!

Week 38/ Happy Anniversary!

As for the doctor this week: she says 2-3 cm dilated and 70% effaced. I am not convinced though! Not until it’s been that way for a week.... So we shall see next week!  I’m just going day-by-day and seeing what happens. I think this little monster is going to be stubborn. I now predict it will come between Aug 16 and 27th a long range... But I need something to keep me going (sorry mom.... if I’m a day past my due date you will share your bday with the little one). So now we just wait!

Happy 2nd Anniversary to us!

A nice dinner and watching a movie with popcorn at home with the pups! Taking it easy this year (Maybe I can con Mike into rubbing my feet..... Hmmmmm). Here’s a few of the 'ole wedding pics! What a fun day that was!

More to report next week! 

Week 37

Well this week was kind of a disappointment at the doctor. Last week the baby must have been in a funky position, because this week I was barely dilated 1cm. Not sure how that happens. But I left ticked and wanting to do jumping jacks!

My blood pressure is fine and the swelling is still going, but no need to worry.

As of today the baby is officially baked (fully developed) and medically is ready to meet the world! So I pray each day that this little monster makes a move to give me some relief.

Until next week...... I'll just keep hoping and walking and telling it to come and see everyone!
