Madeline had an OK day yesterday as she struggled with her feedings with Kristen and the bottle.It's such a blessing that when we have a day where everything doesn't go perfectly, it feels like it's a "bad" day even though a few weeks ago, yesterday would have been a huge success. She tuckered out easily and from what I can tell, it seemed like she just needed a day off. I'm honestly surprised it's gone this long without her wearing out so this was to be expected and I wouldn't even call it a setback. More like a momentary pause until she gets back to her normal rockstar self. Of course, even on a off day, she mustered up the energy to fart and poop on me while I was holding her so thanks for that Maddy!
In visiting with one of her nurses yesterday, it was fun to hear all of the stories about how Madeline was completely done with the isolette. Apparently over the last week, she would scooch herself to the end of the bed and start pushing her legs against the end of the isolette trying to bust it out. Or she would try and stick her hands outside the doors, again trying to bust out. At that point, we started laughing because if she had born according to plan, she would have been doing that inside Kristen and I can't imagine it being any fun.
As you can tell from the pictures and video, she's definitely looking like a regular baby now and as she keeps growing, it's been fun to see the progression. After a few days of going back and forth between whom she was starting to look like, I finally gave up and decided that she looked like Madeline, our beautiful daughter, instead of her Mom or Dad (tho if I had my druthers and it was only one of us, please please please be Kristen)
Since every time I see her she reminds me of Kristen and comparing pictures shes spot on, I'd say she definitely has her Mommy's good looks. However I think she has some of Will in there too so all in all I'd say she's a good mix of the two, just as it should be.
