The before picture. Notice Madalyn is still smiling at this point....
Wild hair girl checking out the bed.
Madalyn with her favorite bear and almost ready to get "hooked up" and ready for bed.

My little ladybug after getting glued and pasted, taped, belted, and wrapped up like a mummy with billions of wires to her head, neck, chest, legs, and toes.
Notice the washclothes tied around her hands, too.
Poor baby is trying to figure out what the heck is going on and what is on her head...

And this is before they taped the carbon dioxide strip and the nasal cannula to her face...
My sweet baby girl. She has no idea what is happening, but is handling it pretty well.
It turned out to be a rough night, to say the least. And there was not alot of sleeping going on.
And my goodness I am trying to think of something positive to say about this sleep study. But I just cannot. I love Children's Hospital of Denver. We've always had positive experiences there. But this sleep study was not one of them. I don't blame the hospital, they were wonderful and nice as usual. But it is just something you don't want to do if you have a little one who cannot understand what is happening or if you don't have a really serious reason to have one.
I would not do it again if you payed me (alot!). Ha!!
The morning after...

still pretty tired from not getting much 'sleep'...
Fresh washed hair and red cheeks from the tape that was covering her face....
Back in the wagon.. (again...) Ha Ha

AW, what an ordeal! She is just adorable!! And such a trooper!
Ugh! I'm not looking forward to one of these. I think Claire will have one in the next few months. She's a really restless sleeper and I think she may have some apnea.
