Madison Belle


Here's the newest addition to the family! My sister Amy welcomed this beautiful little girl to the world on Feb.9th. Her name is Madison Belle. Amy had a very rough delivery and was induced 3 weeks early due to high blood pressure. Madison took her sweet time to make her appearance, they started a pitocin drip on Friday afternoon & she wasn't born until Sunday morning! She was admitted to the NICU all week and Amy was finally able to take her home on Friday the 14th.

She has been diagnosed as having Cytomegalovirus which at this point appears benign, but they will be meeting with a Specialist at Doernbecher's next week to find out for sure. She appears very healthy and is a pretty happy little girl!

Kaden is so excited to have a little girl cousin, he talks about her all the time!

She looks so much like her Daddy in this picture.

Her arrival took much longer than we had anticipated so we ended up spending an unexpected night up in Vancouver waiting by the phone. Here is Kaden in mommy-improvised jammies!

Welcome Madison!! Good job Amy- way to be tough. Trust me I know how bad it can be :) Thankfully she is here now and as beautiful as an angel!

Nice jammies Kadey Bear! You should report your Mommy for making you wear that getup.

Is this Dave's daughter? How cool! I love having cousins for Audrey. Yay for Kaden!

Sorry Kari, not a Halbleib baby. Both of my sisters are married to a Dave. So, yes it is Dave's daughter, just Dave Kramer.

I was about ready to have it out with Dave (H) if he had a baby and didn't tell me!!! I'm glad to hear he'll have more time for fishing... for now anyway:) It would be just my luck to find out on your blog when he has a kid though! You are a power blogger by the way. You must be on every day! Congrats on the new member of the family. I've appreaciated each one of ours more and more. You start realizing how short their brand-new-baby time is. Getting any ideas yourself??? :)) Don't hate me:) I'm just trying to start rumors:)
