Went to the doctor's yesterday and was happy to hear a nice strong heart beat~ My doctor was very pleased with Miss Madison progress and all testing came back with no concerns! I love hearing her strong heartbeat. I am so glad and relieved she is strong and healthy!
I bought her first book (well I bought it a few months ago) Dr. Seuss's The Places You will Go. I first heard this book read at a North Carolina Central University graduation as a graduation speech. It is so moving and honest. There are days when Madison will be on top of the world and days when she will need to find strength to overcome. Better to prepare her and us from Day 1. Definitely worth reading! http://www.teamhope.com/seuss.htm
We have decided on the nursery colors of peridot (our wedding color) and lavender for the nursery. Luckily for us, the nursery was already painted peridot. We plan on putting up my childhood porcelain dolls on high shelves in the corners of the room.
This week... Madison weighs about 8 1/2 ounces, and measures 6 inches, head to bottom — about the size of a large heirloom tomato. The hair on her scalp is sprouting. This is a crucial time for sensory development: Her brain designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. Some research suggests that she may be able to hear your voice now, so don't be shy about reading aloud, talking to her, or singing a happy tune if the mood strikes you.
I love this poem! It will be so thrilling to see her go to those places! When she hits a slump, We will all be there to help her get over the hump. Can't wait to see her go to all the places!
