I always forget about this thing.

Every time I start writing on this thing I completely forget about it like 3 days later. I know, I'm bad at remembering shit.

Soooo..... Madilynn was born on August 19th. It's been a little over 2 months now and it is awesome being a mom, exhausting, but awesome all the same. It really is amazing and it is so cool watching her grow and develop. She rolled over for the 1st time last Saturday. It was so funny how it happened too. I was in the kitchen cleaning and she was doing her tummy time in the living room. Karl was in the living room on the computer. He looked away for a second and when he looked back she was lying on her back not her tummy. She was so surprised she didn't even realize what she had done. Now every time she does tummy time she tries to roll over but always gets stuck on her arm. It's really funny because she gets all mad, starts kicking her little feet, and makes these grunting noises that make me crack up.

I'm not working anymore. I quit my job. I get to stay at home now everyday and play with Madi. Sometimes it gets a little boring and I get a little stir crazy but for the most part it's nice. I've pretty much had a constant job for the past five years now with maybe a month or two at the most off in between each job. So all in all I love not working. Being home with Madi all day long the past couple of months is made me do a lot of thinking. I've decided I'm not going to go back to school or work again until Madi starts school. I want to make sure that all my time is completely devoted to her. I don't want to miss anything. Her crawling for the first time, walking for the first time, or talking for the first time. I want to be there for all of that. It's not like I need to work anyway. Karl makes enough money for me to stay at home anyway. Right now we're a little tight though because we're still trying to play catch up from when we had her. We were in the hospital for two days when she was born and then went back to the hospital two days later and stayed there for another 3 days because Madi was a little jaundice, which is normal in newborns, but because of it she had to sit under some lights to bring here bilirubin count down so she wouldn't be jaundice no more. So because we were in the hospital for like a week we prolly spent over $300 on hospital food between the two of us and then some. We're almost back to normal.

Anyway, I'm gonna go. TTYL
