Almost 1 month old!


Wow...time really moves quickly when you have a newborn. I can't' believe she will be a month old on Monday. She is doing really well. She is eating a lot-last night I didn't know if I was going to be able to provide all the milk she needed...she kept me busy! With all that food, she is spitting up a fair amount...Nick is dealing pretty well with that :)

Addison seems to be much more alert now. She enjoys her playmat that has toys that hang down and play music. She likes listening to music, and she loves her dogs!

All in all, we are doing well. We only have to get up a few times each night, not too bad. Hopefully that will just keep getting better.

Addison is here!!




One week has already passed since Addison arrived. She was 7lbs, 10oz, and 20" long. She is beautiful!! Here are some pictures to share. The week has been busy, and Nick and I are figuring out a schedule so we can sleep a little bit. So, because I am exhausted, I am going to keep this short and sweet. She is doing great, she is beautiful, and a very happy baby.

Time off from work...

So, today is April 5th, and we have only a few days left until the big day!!! Miss Addison is still breech. Because of the physical symptoms I was having, my doctor thought it would be wise to slow down with work, so I two weeks ago I went down to 5hours/day instead of 8. That still wasn't doing much, so this past week I did not work at all. It's amazing what a difference it made. My swelling went completely down, and I feel good. I think mentally too, it helped knowing I could sleep when I needed it, and relax when I wanted. Now it's just a few more days until Addison's big arrival! We spoke to the doctor about what to expect with a C Section. I am nervous, but also realize that this procedure is performed more often now than ever, and everything will be ok. So, the next time I post, I will have pictures!!
