So last blog I told you that I cant find the charger to my camera; well that's not the only thing missing. Jamie had to take his truck into the shop this week to get looked at and it took them TWO days, just to look at it! (not to fix it!) So that left me and Madalyn at home. My friend asked me to go to the carnival with her, which we got very excited about. But Jamie had the car seat!!! AHHHH!
Well then (at the same time) our computer has been giving in and we had to take that in. Now I am stuck at home with no car or computer! We got the truck back yesterday but still no computer. Right now I am sitting next to my mom at her house giving you updates on our life.... but I must say it sounds like a couple of woodpeckers as mom and I type away :)
Any way I am rambling. I will get to the stuff everyone wants to know.... How is Madalyn and has she rolled over yet. No she hasn't and she is amazing!
She is getting kinda chubby :) The healthy look is what we refer to it as. Let me think; what has been new this week?...... She giggles at allot now. She is sleeping 5-6 hours a night. She LOVES her daddy, she goes crazy when he talks to her. She follows me all around the house with her eyes. She stares at her hands; beginning to realize that they are hers. She loves coming over to Grandma's (grandma has the cool toys). Selby loves coming to Grandma's too. She has to weigh over 13 pounds and is getting very hard to carry!
I am getting much better at leaving her with Grandma. Jamie and I have date night every Friday and it has been really nice to have adult time.
I LOVE staying at home. I didn't think I would like it at first but I am discovering that I love being Susie home maker! I told Jamie that this is the happiest I have ever been! I always thought that I would be like my mom, a career driven woman, but I am discovering that I love being at home. (now i know Madalyn is not walking yet and I might change my mind then :) I remember my mom staying home for 1 year when we were kids and it just wasn't her thing. And I always assumed I would be the same. So its pretty cool discovering what I really like and not what I thought I would like.
Any way I think this is enough pecking for now.... Miss you all....
oh yeah one more thing: I am going to be running a 5k in May and a mrathone in November!

Rolling Over....
Not yet, but almost. Its amazing how exciting mom's get over the smallest things. Madalyn almost rolled over yesterday. She is pushing with her one leg and trying to roll over! It is so cute! She is also staring at her hands and moving them realizing that they are hers. Still no pictures. The truth is I lost my battery charger for the camera and cant find it. But here are some older ones:

Catch Up
My camera is currently not working so I am not able to post any new pictures. So I have decided to play catch up. Last you knew my brother, sister in law, and nephew where coming down to see Madalyn, and they did and it was awesome! Some of you have probably read Mallory's blog (it goes into way more detail) the trip was pretty laid back. We attempted Disney towards the end of the trip. I have to be honest... it was not any fun. Madalyn is on a 3 hour feeding schedule and I am still breast feeding so I had to go to a special room when it was time to eat. (and there was only 1 feeding room in the whole park!) So my schedule looked something like this: feed for an half hour, try to find Michael and Mallory 1/2 hour, watch them in line (because by time we got there they where to far ahead for us to join them), wait for them to get off, then back to the feeding room. And did I mention there were a ton of people there! Pushing a stroller sucked! So we dropped it off in storage and carried her the whole time. There was one point that we split up and grandpa watch Madalyn as Jamie, Grandma, and I road the fast roller coaster.
Needless to say, don't take an infant to Disney. :) The rest of the trip was awesome ! Ethan has grown so much and has turned into a very handsome toddler!
Madalyn has been growing so much! She is beginning to coo and giggle at things, especially in the morning. She is more aware of her surroundings and is starting to get into a routine. We went to the doctors last week to get her first shots and to watch my daughter for the first time encounter pain. I think it hurt me more than it hurt her! I tried to stay tough, but I ended up crying just as much her! Good news though; she is 12lbs 11oz (78%) and 24 1/4 inches long (92%). She is a big baby! Just the way we like them :)
Jamie and I have decided I am going to be a stay at home mom. Which I never thought I would be. But after praying about it we really feel it is the best thing for our family. I feel (AND THIS IS JUST MY OPINION) that if I try to balance being a wife, mom, and career driven woman, that one of those three things will suffer. And after thinking about it my career would demand 100% and Madalyn must have 100% and that means my husband would suffer. And in my life Jamie is my number 1 human priority, and its not right that he would have to suffer. (again, i know we are different than most people and this is just in our house) And believe it or not I am loving it ! The only sucky thing is money. We really have to count on God to provide. And he has so far! Last month we were 200 dollars short on our bills. I went out to lunch with a friend (did not tell her about our $ situation) and she pulled out her check book and told me she wanted to give us a gift (she said her way of giving to God). Guess how much the check was... yep 200 dollars! I have also began using coupons and shopping only if there is a deal. Last night I spent $90 at the grocery store and saved $92!!! Just by buying the buy one get ones and using coupons!
Well I think that is all for now.
Oh, for you all wandering how my relationship with God is going; it is getting better every day. I am learning more and more of who He is in my life. Stepping out in faith that he will provide financially what we are short in our bills every month, has challenged me in knowledge of his existence. In other words, I have never had to depend on Him as much as I am now, and I have had to "jump of the cliff" in trusting that the God I say I believe in will provide as He promises in His word.
