Maddox

So, I know I told you a couple of weeks ago that I would post more pictures of Maddox, but taking care of a newborn can be time consuming. I have enjoyed every minute of motherhood, except for the lack of sleep but as they say, “This to shall pass”.

So, here are some pictures from his first 2 weeks of life.

Maddox right after he was born.

Maddox is now 6 weeks old and has changed so much. I love watching him learn new things and grow but I feel that it is going by to fast.

Well I better get off here before Maddox wakes up. Will post updated pictures soon.

Our new addition to the Family; Presenting our baby boy Maddox.

So I know I haven’t blogged in a long time but I have a good excuse. On February 10, 2011 at 10:44 am, Chris and I welcomed our baby boy to the world, Maddox Ryan Leonard. He weighed 8lbs, 8oz and was 20 3/4 inches long.

A week before his delivery we found out that a C-section was the safest way to deliver him because his estimated weight was already 9lbs. When we decided on the date, 2.10.11 we never thought that we would have this to deal with this.

That’s right, we got 8 inches of snow the night before Maddox was born. As everyone knows, in Arkansas we don’t get a lot of snow, so knowing Maddox was going to come into this world on such an amazing day was exciting.

Here are a couple of pictures of our neighborhood.

All of these pictures were taken the night before Maddox’s delivery.

On the morning of the big day it was beautiful outside. The sun was out and the snow was dazzling. I was so nervous because I did not know what to expect. In all the morning chaos I did manage to get a couple of pictures before we left to go to the hospital.

Chris and I had no trouble getting to the hospital in the snow.

When we arrived at the hospital they took me straight back because the doctor had arrived early and waiting on us. After I got prep for surgery it only took the doctor 4 minutes and Maddox was here.
