Addi's First Easter

Easter was a fun day for the whole family! It was awesome to be able to start buying for my own child on the holidays. (over $ 100.00's later at Target I think Loren isn't going to let me shop anymore). We all went over to my Aunt Julies and Addison got to meet her Aunts, Uncles and Cousins for the first time. They were loving her up at some point I felt like I didn't even have a baby since everyone kept holding her! It did give me a chance to drink a few glasses wine though. Oh and the day after Easter Loren gave me an engagement ring and we are now officially engaged! I have no idea what the wedding plans will be, I will let you all know.

The Easter bunny came to our house!

Almost 1 month

Here are a few pictures of Addison. Everyday she is getting bigger. She is eating a lot more and she has just now started to stay awake and just be content looking around at everything!

She drops her sucky when she is fast asleep!

When she is fussy we give her to Hannah, it was so cute when I came back in Hannah was singing and she was fast asleep! What a good Cousin/future babysitter :)

Her Daddy is wonderful with her

She dosen't like her swing yet.

Rachel loves holding her. She is a total baby hog!

We went to visit Aunt Silvia and Cousin Monique

The Life of Addison James

It finally happened! I had my sweet little angel on Monday March 16th at 11:09 pm. She weighed 6 lbs 10 oz and is 20 inches long. I don't know how anyone has more then one because the labor and delivery was probably one of the worse things I have gone through. We were at the hospital at 6 in the morning because I was feeling a funny pain. Sure enough they were contractions but the nurse was going to send us home to do most of the laboring. Around 10 AM I was going to be allowed to leave but then my water broke and as the nurse said that guaranteed my admittance. I had a long hard gruesome labor and delivery (Ok I know I'm probably exageratting but man I'm a baby!!) All that matters is that she is here and I can't believe it. I wish I could do a better post then this but I have higher priorities now. I will post often with new pictures.

Little nervous here towards the end

I had my regular scheduled doctors appointment on Tuesday and it was very informative. First she measured my belly and then looked for her heartbeat. It took her a little bit (Addi was moving around a lot) and when she found it she felt like the placement of the heartbeat was a little lower then it should be. Also she said my belly measured a little bigger then what it should be. So on March 3rd I have another ultrasound. This one will tell me the growth and position of the baby. I think with her heatbeat being lower it might mean she has already started to position her self to slide out of the birth canal. Which being as though I have 5 more weeks left its not that good of an idea for her to do that :) Maybe because my belly is measuring larger then it should I might end up being farther along then originally guessed.
I have no idea. Lots of things are going through my head. You should see the room..... nothing is ready, I haven't even had my family babyshower yet!! I hope she waits till Mommy can organize everything.

Friends Baby Shower

On Sunday Loren and I had our Co-Ed babyshower at the Corral Bar and Grill. It was a wonderful party and all my friends came out to celebrate. They had everything all set up with balloons, pink, white and red table clothes and yummy food that I couldn't get enough of. I received so many wonderful presents my friends are awesome!! Here are some pictures and there will be more posts to come................ 5 more weeks till my due date :) WooHoo
