My friend...Mylicon

Happy Thursday to everyone. I can't believe that Maddy has been with us for almost 2 weeks already. As exhausting and anxiety filled parenthood can be, it is the most rewarding thing a person can do. My mom leaves tomorrow, leaving Clint and I on our own. Fortunately Clint has a very passive nature to parenting and eases my new mom nerves quite easily. He comes home from work and just falls right into the role of daddy without missing a beat. We have continued to have lots of visitors, which is great because we love to show Maddy off...of course. She is a great baby, especially now that I have discovered MYLICON!!!!! It is the best thing ever invented for a baby with gas! It minimizes her discomfort, which minimizes my discomfort, because that little cry of hers is heartwrenching.
The picture above is her just after our morning walk. She loves to go for walks with her canine sister, Cailin....and Cailin thinks it's pretty cool too.
Tonight is a big night...My mom and Aunt Getta are going to watch Maddy while Clint and I go out for our first "date night" since the little one arrived. We will not go far, and we will only be gone for a couple of hours, because Maddy will be ready to eat, but it will be NICE!!! Not bad....two weeks old and already a babysitter:)
I have changed the setting on the blog so you should be able to leave comments now, without being a blog member. Give it a try so I can fix it if it is still a problem. We would love to hear how you all are doing and what you think of this beautiful little girl.
