8 days old

Today Madelyn is 8 days old. I can't believe it's been just over a week since she was born! Time has gone so fast and I know it's only going to go faster too! Today we tried tummy time and she seemed to like it for the most part. Matt was on the floor next to her, talking to her and playing with her. She did great!

Matt's still in the process of looking for a job. It's been 3 1/2 months now since he lost his job with Deloitte and so far, nothing has turned up. He's applied for a ton, 40+ jobs now. But, I'm taking it as a blessing in disguise as he has been such a big help with Mady and helping me since we've been home. I am a very independent person and it's hard for me to let other people do things for me. However, after having a baby, I am realizing it's okay to let people help me, especially since I'm still in pain and sometimes not feeling very well.

Anyway, Matt's dad is coming for a visit from Georgia this weekend. It will be nice for him to meet Madelyn and spend time with Matt too. Then it's off to the cottage for a few days to rest and relax and visit with some family!
