A few fun facts (because that’s all this tired mama brain can come up with at the moment):

  • Madilyn was born on Friday the 13th
  • She weighed in at a whopping 9lb, 1.1 oz (just 1.5 oz shy of her sister’s weight)
  • Despite my lack of heartburn, she was born with hair, and brown hair at that!! (Bunny was basically totally bald for months, and now she’s very blond)
  • Giving birth to her was the complete opposite of my first delivery; this time it was med-free, I only pushed twice (my husband says it was more like one push), and she was born “en caul”—a fancy way of saying she that my water never broke and she was born “in the sack” (a more in-depth birth story to come…later)
  • Bunny’s loving her “sister Maddie,” and is extremely helpful so far
  • Two under two is a little ridiculous, but the sweet moments are pure bliss
  • This little newborn has gigantic, wrinkly long feet

  • I totally forgot how exhausting the newborn phase is
  • It doesn’t help that I’ve had a cold since the day after I delivered her and can’t take any of the good stuff to kick it to the curb. Not having any sleep and feeling like my head is stuck in a bubble is extremely horrible
  • On the bright side, nursing is going extremely well…also the total opposite of last time
  • I’m totally in love with my little peanut and I can’t get enough of her lips!
