Our little girl finally arrived Monday June 30th at 6:38 a.m. Baby Addison weighted 8 pounds 8 ounces and was twenty and one-half inches long. She was three days late, but luckily arrived before we had to be induced.
It is unbelievable how much we can love. We have heard that over and over from other parents, but never had a clue.....
She has brown hair and brown eyes. She is already darker than I am. There is a good chance that she has Bobby's skin tone, but it too early to be certain. If so, this is an answer to prayers. I was the biggest consumer of water babies growing up.
She weighed in at 8lbs. 8oz... that's right she is a chunk! She had only lost 7 oz. prior to leaving the hopsital, which is well under the 7-10% considered acceptable. She eats like a champ and had a poopy diaper about every two hours. Luckily for Mommy, Daddy had changed most of the diapers.
It looks like she has Dana's cheeks and lips. Luckily for Bobby she has a really strong neck and can hold her head up relatively well. She will hold her head up to look around for a good 7-10 seconds occasionally. She is so wide-eyed and ready to explore. This picture was taken just before placing her in the car seat to head home.
Babies typically copy their parents. Addison already has Daddy wrapped so that she can get him to copy her. She is yawning, so Daddy is yawning.
A lot of her mannerisims are similar to things we would see her do at the ultrasounds. She always had her hands around her face at the ultrasounds. Now, she cannot stand to have her hands swaddled because she likes to have them at her face.
Addison makes some of
the funniest faces. She
was tired of me taking
pictures so some of the
last ones at the hospital
was basically saying,
"Please get that flash
out of my face."
Well, anyway, we made it home today a little before lunch and its time to figure out a routine. We are all so much more comfortable at home. We are preparing for our first night alone.
We are so excited about our new additions and can't wait to see what's around the bend.
