'Kay, short one for tonight-- might write longer tomorrow morning while I wait for J to get here. (But yay, this year he has a laptop, and the hospital has complimentary wifi! You have to pay 5 dollars a day for TV though if you want that. Though, as my brother in law pointed out... um, you can watch TV shows online).
We have a quite healthy little girl! Much better at nursing than her brother, which also means she's not becoming Dangerously Jaundiced. But she is totally a WAILER. Or a squealer, I'm not sure.

Since ya'll have been following the naming saga, what finally made me go with Madeleine? Because she came on an already crowded birthday-- not only my sister Maggie, but J's Aunt Lynnie; AND the name Madeleine is derived from "Magdalene"-- Mag + Lynn? How weird is that? AND it was Eastern Orthodox Easter, so if you're going to pick an appropriate Easter name, why not name someone after the first witness to the Resurrection? Of course if you forgot it was Madeleine L'Engle that got the name onto the list to begin with, but it was those later reasons that pushed it ahead and out of the mire of "is it currently too popular"; Heck, her mom and dad were saddled with, respectively, the 2nd most popular girls name and 3rd most popular boys name of their generation, so what goes around comes around. ;) If there are too many Maddies in her class, we do think "Maddie Beth" is cute.

I'm sorting through clothes tonight! I'll have a HUGE batch of them ready for you whenever you're ready for visitors at your house. Please let me know, we're available this weekend (for a change!)
