I certainly had more trouble getting Madison to sleep into her crib than she did. I felt so bad leaving my little baby all alone in that big crib in that empty room. She, however, couldn't care less. She slept there by herself all night and she didn't wake me up once. I woke up twice and went in there and there she was awake (@1:00 am and then again @4:00)kicking up her legs and smiling at the monkey on her mobile. She nursed and then she went right back to sleep. She seems to love sleeping on her own. And me, stupid me, was worried that she will wake up and be scared because she is alone. She is getting to be her own little person and likes her independence. When we read a book now she actually looks at the pictures rather than staring at the blank wall. I don't think she realizes yet that the pictures and the words are a story but she likes it anyway.
I am losing all the weight now because all i eat is mushed soup, milk shakes and baked cheese grits. Hopefully by the time my baby starts eating solid foods i will too. I am getting used to the braces but still feel like i have pebbles in my mouth when i try to chew something. I was afraid i would look like a monster but i actually think it's kind of cute. Not looking forward the extractions but once that is over i will be happy. the girl who put my braces was making fun of me because i went through childbirth but am afraid of getting braces and getting a couple of teeth pulled out.
honestly i am more nervous about the teeth than labor even though i will most likely get general anastesia and sleep through it.

Meeting the Family
Madison finally met most of her cousins this weekend at her Grandpa's birthday. If it wasn't for the three shots in her thighs she got on friday she would have been pretty good. She wailed and wailed until we gave her some tylenol and then she passed out. Other than that she seems to be pretty comfortable with anyone holding her and i think she thought her uncle Steven was her dad.
the doctor was pretty happy with her - she is 12 lb and 22 inches- we have officially moved into #2 diapers and comfortably wear some 3 to 6 months clothes while retiring most of her 0-3 wardrobe. so we have a pretty healthy baby on our hands and we can't complain. Her eyes are getting lighter and i am pretty sure they will turn out hazel which is what we ordered.
For going away for the first time it wasn't that bad- i definitely overpacked clothes for her and for me, but i guess it's better to have more than less. the next challenge will be getting on the plane and going to Florida- i should probably start planning what to pack from now so i don't forget something.
on a different note I got my braces today and am now trying to eat some cream of wheat it's more like slurping really except for the small pieces of bananas that are turning out to be pretty hard to eat. I thought bananas are soft food. I think i am going to stick to soup and milk shakes for a couple of days. Looking forward to the end of April when half of my teeth are going to be extracted including the two lower wisdom teeth. I hope they have an epidural for that kind of stuff. Everyone says that it would be better than labor but i don't like the idea of having my teeth pulled out so hopefully they can drug me pretty hard. after the epidural and all the screaming i did during labor i have no shame about pain- give me all the drugs possible. Ironically i know women who have given birth naturally but i haven't heard of anyone having their wisdom teeth pulled out without some form of drug administered.
It's a pretty weird sensation having all that wire in your mouth but two years from now i will feel pretty good about my smile i guess.
I think i now have to go and brush my teeth because half my lunch is still on my braces- no wonder i am still hungry.
