Madison's first Bath

Madison's 1st Bath!

She loved it! We were told by various people, I won't mention names that Madison would cry when we gave her, her first bath but the moment we put her in the water she enjoyed it. We were so careful to get the water temperature just right and the apartment was nice and warm so she wouldn't get a chill. How tiny she is in her little bath tub. This tub was a great purchase, it has a little sling for her to go in until she is big enough to sit up the other way. Daddy did most of the washing which was so sweet. This wasn't as much a 2 person job as much as the fact that we A- we both wanted to be part of the 1st moment of experience water outside the womb and B- we didn't want her to be too slippery when we pulled her out and being so fragile, a week old.

She is just loving life, getting washed by Daddy and licking one of his fingers. She is so tiny compared to his large hand!
I think these are the best moments for parents. Your child is safe and happy in your presence, getting life experiences for the first time. I think at the same time its a little sad because once the first bath is over, there will never be another FIRST bath again, just other firsts but never the same firsts.

Madison will probably look back at these bath photos when she is a teenager and get all embarrassed that she didn't have any clothes on but when she has children of her own she will do the same thing and snap away at the precious site of wet, baby skin!

Grammie & Papa Worley- Madison 1 week old

My mom, Madison and I taking a quick photo. Madison doesn't look to happy in this picture! This is the first picture of the 3 generations. Madison is a week old and barely fitting into her newborn outfits!

She was in the middle of a sneeze, too cute!

Barely lifting her head up, what a precious little girl and a very happy Mommy, tired but happy!

Madison was born on September 20, 2009 weighing 6lbs. 2oz. and 17 inches long. She was born so cute and beautiful!! I started to have mild contractions over the weekend on Saturday the 19th and because we knew we were going to have a c-section a week early we knew labor wasn't the best thing for me so she was scheduled to be delivered on the 21st but decided to come our in time to catch the NY Giants game on Sunday and was born at noon!

 I went into the hospital anxious not knowing what to expect with a c-section and excited to see our baby girl after waiting over 9 months. Here she is just a few minutes after her arrival.






She went into Daddy's arms after they cleaned her up then into her incubator to warm up a little while I was in recovery for about an hour.
She has such as cute little cry and it was so fun to cuddle her in our arms.
