And Little Pretty makes four..

Well, I think my family is complete. On August 8, at 631 p.m., God graced us with our second daughter. Meredith Lynn is here! She weighed in at 8lbs 10 oz and was 20 in. She has a head full of dark hair and is just beautiful! I told Wesley we make pretty babies. Then, after she became jaundice like her sister, I said we make pretty yellow babies! I think we are finally getting on a eat/sleep pattern. I had to switch to formula and that seems to help her sleep and she is beginning to get back to her birth weight.

Madison seems to like being a big sister! She is not too happy when Meredith cries, but she is there to talk to her, kiss her and help feed her. She even helps with diapers, but only to throw the wet ones away.

Madison has started 4 yr old preschool. She is a smart girl and we thought that this would help her transition to kindergarten next year. She gets great reports from her teacher every day. I pick her up at 12:00 and the 3 of us enjoy our afternoon. I kinda like being a temporary stay at home mom. It's a lot of work. Trying to take care of a newborn and trying to entertain a determined four year old. I'm learning. We are all learning together.

Until next time.....
