The Mighty Madeline

. . . We last left our premie superheroine ready to pit her intestinal strength against the ultimate baby food: Mama Milk.

Having conquered penguin food in record time, the Mighty Madeline Quinn convinced her keepers that she was prepared for this arduous undertaking.

Alas, neither her ambition, nor her appetite, proved prepared to handle the formidable and menacing Mother's Milk.

The Mighty Madeline Quinn's pace was slowed not only by the weight of drenched diapers, but also the ghastly gas that crippled her from leaping out of her crib and seizing the world at large. . . (or at least that coveted stash of pacifiers).

And so, our dear superheroine has been reduced to being fed penguin food -- yet again.

While she succumbs to the distasteful pre-digested food, the Mighty Madeline Quinn refuses to surrender her ability to ripen in her own way. Tonight, she proved she's striving to be a heavy-hitter as she weighed in at a full 5 lbs!

It is a night of discrete excitement as so much more is to come when (days from now) she again tries to prevail over the ever-potent breastmilk.

Stay tuned for the next episode from the adventures and triumphs of the Mighty Madeline Quinn . . .

Hey there,

I just read your whole blog in chronological order, and it has me crying and laughing and praying and hoping all at the same time. Thank you for sharing your story, and Madeline Quinn's and Jack's story too, as it unfolds. She's beautiful, by the way.

Know that there is one more person out there sending prayers and thoughts to Utah for strength, calm, humor... and poop of just the right consistency!

Hugs and love to you and your growing family.
Holly
