Week 7

This week I had my 6 week follow up with Dr. Lewis. It was so nice to see all the nurses and Dr. Lewis. I had gotten so used to seeing them all the time, especially towards the end of my pregnancy when I had to go every 4 days, that I actually missed them. Everything checked out great but the best part was being able to give Dr. Lewis a picture of Maddox for the wall. I can't tell you how many times over the past 4 years I have walked by that wall and stared at all the beautiful babies and wondered if my baby's picture would ever be up there. Because we were driving right by we also stopped by my work for another visit. Everyone was so shocked at how much Maddox had changed and grown over the past 4 weeks. He was a big hit as usual.

Another very cool thing that happened this week was the Reds took first place in our division. Remember when I was pregnant during the Bengal season and I was convinced that little Maddox was a lucky charm for the Bengals, well apparently he is helping the Reds out this year too.

A few things to remember:

Maddox has taken on the nick name around our house of Mr. Mann

He kicks his legs very fast and waves his arms when he is very mad and very happy.

He hates to have his arms covered up. No matter how tight we wrap him up he always finds a way to get his arms out. Now when Daddy tucks him in at night he pulls his arms out and tucks the blanket up under his arm pits. Lots of the time he falls asleep with one or both arms up over his head. Almost every ultrasound I had, Maddox had his arms up by his face or over his head.

His favorite place to sleep is on Daddy. I can't believe the crazy positions he finds himself in and is completely comfortable and knocked out. Below are just a few funny pics of him sleeping on Daddy. I have many more but I just picked my favorites.

My favorite pics of the week.
