Maddison

At 5am on Sept 20, 2002 I awoke to some pains. By 7am we were waiting for my mother in law to come watch Garrett. By 8:30am I am in the hospital awaiting an epidural. (I don't have a high pain tolerance). By 10:15 I call to check on Garrett and am feeling GREAT! By 10:45 my husband is getting testy because I want to watch the price is right instead of timing contractions. Duh...that is what the machine is for, plus I had no feeling! By 11:12am I want the labor nurse to stand in front of the mirror that I am looking directly into, because I refuse to look at myself pushing a child, w/my legs half UP in the air-I know, I know, TMI. At 11:14am on her due date Maddison Jenae Craig came into the world w/a ton of black hair-just like her mama did 30 some years ago!

Wow how time travels fast and a mom can get teary just writing this all out! Yesterday my little dark haired baby is now BLONDE and SEVEN! And missing her 2 front teeth!

She was all about pink and princess this bday. I tell you what, just when I think she couldn't be any more tom boy she puts this out! She saw a cake simliar to this in a cookbook from the library. The crown I bought for a buck at walmart and it even lights up! I think the cake looks like it has chickn pox, but she wanted "pearls". So Clay Gourmet came thru and found us these edible pearls. However-if you have any ideas on how to use them let me know because I have about 1000 left!
Clothes were the gifts of choice this year. It was so fun to have everyone get together. Maddison had a great day. Her prayer last night was - she couldn't wait until she was 8!

I was just wondering the other day if she was still into cowgirl stuff. Happy Birthday Maddie.
