Happy Birthday Baby Madison!

SHE is here!!!!  Another girl...everyone is healthy and happy.  Well, maybe not everyone.  Jack and Peyton are a little under the weather.  They both have colds, which is a total bummer because Peyton wants to love on her so much and I can't let her!  I just hope little Madison can hold her own and not catch what her big brother and big sister have.

The labor wasn't too bad, just long.  We got checked in at 8:00 am at MoBap to have her.  They started the PIT right away and would come in and up it about every hour.  I would start to have good contraction for an hour and then they would back off.  Things were not progressing very quickly.  Then sometime in the late afternoon they really kicked it up and then the REAL contractions started happening.  The epidural got put in and they broke my water.  After that things progressed quickly.  About three hours later they checked and we were ready to go.  They called Dr. Durer and he came right over.  Everyone got gowned up and it was time to have a baby.  Grandma Wondel, Daddy, Dr. Durer, and lots of nurses were present for the birth.  Three contractions and she was out!  That's a miracle for me!  They vacuumed her out, which ended up not being a big deal.  Doc said he knew she was coming on the next push and her heart rate was decelerating with contractions so he said it would be no big deal.  And it wasn't.  She came out and is perfect!

She has been a great baby so far.  We came home from the hospital yesterday and she had a pretty good night last night.  I hope I have a good sleeper on my hands.  Today Grandma Wondel is here hanging out with us and Grandma Jeanne and Grandpa Wondel will be down later to celebrate Peyton's big Birthday.  Today she is SIX!

Speaking of birthdays, Madison and Grandpa Wondel now share a birthday.....July 16!  The worst part....I forgot to get a picture of them on their birthday!

Overall everyting was great.  The labor wasn't terrible, the delivery was good, Mike didn't pass out, baby and mom are healthy, AND baby now has a name!!!  It took us until the very last night to name here.  We couldn't decide on a girl name.  We were all set for a boy.  She was going to be Drew Alexander if she was a boy.  But she wasn't, and we were struggling.  We were throwing around Madison, Ella, Isabella, Alison, and more,....but nothing that we could settle on until the night before we came home.  Madison Grace it is...and I think it fits her perfect!!!

Big thanks for Grandma Jeanne for taking care of the other two while we were in the hospital!
