A day at the races

maddie-races-02.JPG I had an assignment last Saturday to cover the My Lady’s Manor Steeplechase races in Monkton. Kathleen decided to come along as she has in the past but this year we had the munchkin…so Kathleen found the perfect little pink dress complete with a hat and we spent the day enjoying the races with surprisingly minimum fussing from Maddie. Everyone loved her…folks were stopping to admire her like crazy. There are a few more pics in the pages section under A day at the races, please check them out.

 maddie-1-month-2.jpg maddie-1month.jpgwell we made it through the first month…Maddie has gotten so big.  She’s almost ten pounds now. She has been trying to lift up her big head with some success,  she looks in the direction of noises like a rattle shaking near her.

  kid-05.jpgDr. Kaplan was so great, calm through the entire thing, she is the doc after all. I remember saying to her that things seemed almost to calm. I figured a room filled with people in scrubs with masks over their faces huddled over my wife & another group of nurses or something at the ready. She assured me that everything was going just fine and Kathleen kept pushing. Later as the “moment” was building , in came exactly what I expected to see all along. The team of doctors,  nurses, specialists, whatever they were, came in took the hand-off did all sorts of tests, shots, prints and after ten minutes or so it was back to just us again. Thanks for everything Dr. Kaplan and all the wonderful people who took FANTASTIC care of my wife and of course Madeleine.
