Madison Jean



Madison Jean was born on February 4th at 8:35 am. She weighed 6 lbs 11 oz and was 18.75 inches long. She has a head full of dark hair just like her big sister! She has been here for just over two weeks and it is already hard to remember what it was like to not have her here to cuddle! She is a good baby and is already spoiled by her older siblings! Bekah has enjoyed helping pick out her clothes and Zach always wants to hold or kiss her! Bobby is happy to just look at her or touch her hands when he thinks nobody is watching! He has yet to hold her. He says when she is bigger he will hold her! We found out on February 6th that Madie does have PKU. While we were praying she did not have it, the news was not as hard to take as it was when we were told Zach had it. On the positive side Zach will now have a food buddy! He already talks about teaching her what she can and can't eat when she is big. She is taking her formula mix(Phenex 1 and Similac)great! We are adjusting to having to do weekly heel pokes again! Definatley not my favorite part of the week! Madison doesn't like it very much either! I have already almost mixed Zach's formula in with Madison's formula! I have had to lable everything with their names in black marker! I even have had to place their formuala on different shelves in the fridge so Zach can tell them apart! I am finding new ways to make myself more organized (for those of you who know me, you know how unorganized I am!) which is hard for me! I told Jay we evened out all around! Two girls, two boys, two PKU, and two non-PKU!
