Madeline Jane Lareau

So, Kate is sitting next to me.  Resting peacefully.  Holding her new daughter. Madeline Jane Lareau.  Get it.  Kind of similar to Meredith Jubilee Lareau. Only Madeline isn't going to have her own blog.  She'll share Meredith's.  Kate probably has a different take, but from my perspective it was a fairly easy labor, at least as compared to the fourteen hour debacle that was Meredith Jubilee.  In the hospital at ten a.m.  Baby at 1:36.  Three pushes and there she was.  Seven pounds; twelve ounces; ten fingers; ten toes; many inches long by few inches wide; good bit of dark hair.  I think that will about cover things until your regularly scheduled poster returns.  The only other thing you need to know is that Madeline justed edged out Matilda and Pippi Azalea.  Alright Kate was never considering Pippi Azela, but some of us were.  The photos:

Moments into reality.

Showing her true colors at about one hour into life.  Gunner til I die.

Few quiet moments.


Meeting big sister.

Meredith's mouth and nose.

Mom, there's the hair picture you wanted.
