Auntie Mimi and Amy Halliburton (the "original") enjoying time with Maddie. Auntie Mimi's little boy will be arriving early next year. We can't wait to meet him!
Aunt Donna with the swaddled Maddie. She was tired!
Grandpa Freise holds Maddie in front of the warm fire. It was cold in Chicago today!
Today we had lots of visitors. Grandma and Grandpa Freise came by with Aunt Donna, and Auntie Mimi (Amy) and her sister-in-law Amy flew in from Tulsa to visit. It was great to have extra hands to hold Maddie and she loved every minute of it.
Feedings are getting a bit easier, but it still is challenging to get Maddie to open her little mouth BIG. Mommy has had lots of support from friends and family encouraging her to stick with it and it will get easier and Daddy is a great coach. Maddie has been more alert between feedings today and goes for 2-3 hours (sometimes 4 at night) allowing good naps and adequate sleep for everyone.
Lisa and Mike brought over more food for dinner and breakfast. We continue to be overwhelmed with the amount of love and support we have received from the neighbors, friends, and family. They say it takes a village to raise a child and we feel like we've got a great village supporting us.
