Torture...Madi thinks so!

Two months old!

Madilyn is already two months old! So I figured that I would post some new pictures.

Memorial Day Weekend

This weekend has been tons of fun. On Saturday Aaron took off hiking with his sisters Jessica and Esther. They tried to do the Maybird Lake hike but instead got lost and did a random hike in 10 feet of snow somewhere near Maybird Lake! He said that inspite of losing the trail they had fun.

While he was out hiking my sister Sara and I took the kids to the Dinosaur Park in Ogden. We had tons of fun running after the twins and walking on all of the trails thoughout the park. There was even a cool biking/jogging trail behind the park that we took the kids on after we left the park that ran along side a stream. It smelled so fresh and unlike the normal SLC polluted air that we are soooo used to now!

Sunday we went on a long drive. We started on Baccus Highway and went south to Copperton. It was a fun little town that has a really cool park. Then we wound our way down to Bangerter Highway to Redwood Road and out to the Eagle Mountain/Cedar Fort area. We took a road, not sure which, that sent us through Tooele and onto I-80 and back to West Valley. Madi slept the whole way, she is pretty easy to travel with.

Then today Aaron and I dropped Madi off with his parents and went on our first date since she was born. She is now 7 1/2 weeks and plenty old enough to be left with someone other than Aaron and I, or so I had to tell myself over and over again! It was hard but so worth it! We went to see the new Star Trek movie. It was very good and the only down side to it was the sick girl who sat next to me and coughed, sneezed, and made horrible throat sounds the whole time, YUCK! If you're sick stay home! Afterword we went to Applebee's and ate a late lunch/early dinner. Madi was good (or so we were told) and slept half the time we were gone. I wonder if she even realized that we weren't there. '

That wraps up our weekend. Here are some pics to enjoy!

Two weeks old!

Its already been two weeks since Madi was born....WOW! Time flies by so fast! Yesterday she had her two week check-up and boy has she grown! Not in length...she's still only 19.5 inches long. But she went from 7lbs4oz to 7lbs 11.5oz. She's starting to chunk up!

She also had her other PKU test done yesterday. It was so sad, they pricked her heel and then squeezed her blood out until they filled up some circles on a card. She cried so hard...it just broke my heart. Luckily after her torture was completed she calmed down really fast. I don't know what Aaron and I would have done if she kept crying. Poor baby!

After 4 days and 4 nights of being in the hospital they finally let us go home. And trust me we were so ready to break out of there!

And finally me....happy to be leaving!

Riddle me this!

What weighs 7 pounds 4 ounces, is 19 1/2 inches long and cute as a button? If you guessed a cute little baby girl then you would be right on. If you guessed something else then you're just weird!

Madilyn May Grandy arrived on Wednesday, April 1st at 11:17 a.m. No joke!

Aaron and I went to the hospital Tuesday night to induce labor and end my misery! Madilyn was trying really hard to stay in her environment and didn't want to make things easy on us! She was delivered by c-section after it was determined that she wasn't coming out on her own.....maybe that was her joke on us! But thats ok we still think she is the most adorable thing ever! Both mom and baby are doing great!

This is one of the last pregnancy pictures of me. 41 weeks!

This was right after they strapped me to the bed but before they gave me the drugs to start labor.Aaron getting ready to go into the operating room. Doesn't he look like Papa Smurf??

Madilyn right after she was born....she's screaming "Put me back!!"This is our first family picture. I was so afraid that I was going to drop her!
