Week 2

Our second week was a lot like the first one, a lot of staying home, visitors, and relaxing!

That Friday Andrew had the day off so we surprised the kids and took them to see Frozen (again!) but this time the sing a long. They were excited when it started since we hadn't told them what we were seeing! Addie did great and didn't make a sound and we all enjoyed yummy movie snacks!

Week 1

Our first week was just what it should be, exciting, tiring, amazing, etc. We adjusted pretty well and had lots of help! We had amazing meals brought in and lots of visits from family and friends. We didn't leave our house for about 4 days ( it started to show, the kids were really crazy!) and when we did leave we just went to my moms! We spent lots of time watching movies and just spending time together as a family!

I came back into the room and this is what I saw. I couldn't stop the tears and overwhelming feeling of how blessed we are. I love these three! They love her so much and are always so concerned about her!

 She got dressed for church her first Sunday and then waved goodbye to the others as they left and actually went to church!

Going Home

On our way home from the hospital on the 29th! We went and picked up Ella and Easton from my sister and then stopped by Village Baker for a yummy sandwich on our way home!

While in the hospital

While I was in the hospital my mom had our kids most of the time. Tuesday morning Andrew's sister Deb took the kids to the mall to Build a Bear. She had given them gift cards for Christmas and we thought while I was in the hospital would be a good time to use them. Andrew met up with them later on. Ella got a Little Pony, Fluttershy and Easton got a Bear and made him a Fireman! They had so much fun, thanks Deb! They also got to eat Chick Fil A at the mall as well, they were in heaven!

They also got to stop and play for a while in the Lego store!

Meeting for the First time!

The Day after Addie was born Andrew brought the kids to meet her. They were so excited to finally meet her and it brought tears to my eyes when they walked in. They were so in love with her, they just wanted to hold her and kiss her. It was a pretty awesome thing to see the three of them together for the first time. They instantly wanted to hold her and help me get her changed and dressed! Easton told us a few times that he really liked our baby!

Our veiw from our room. It was the last day of our nasty inversion we had here all of January, a storm moved in later that day, it was fun to see the mountains!

Introducing....

Addie!!!

Addie was born on January 27th at 3:52 PM. She weighed in at 7 lbs 3 oz and 19 1/2 inches long. We decided to be induced and the doctor said he would do it up to a week early. We decided to do it the 27th which was just 6 days early. I called the hospital that morning and they told me to come at 11. We dropped the kids off at my moms and headed over. We got checked in and settled and things got started just after noon. I got my IV and everything else and by 1 we were on the road! I had the best nurse, her name was Nicole and I am sad we didn't get a picture with her because she was amazing and listened to us and our wants and needs. She got the anesthesiologist in my room within about 15 minutes and I got my epidural and hardly had to feel a thing and I had a button to push if I needed more!  My doctor came and broke my water a little while later and things started moving pretty fast. About 2:30 we realized the baby was posterior and so we needed to flip her, well she ended up doing it herself. She was also stuck a little and it makes sense why I hadn't gone into labor because if wouldn't have been stuck I probably would have had her already!  By 3:30 everything was ready to go and the doctor came in about 3:45. Three pushes later she was here. It was pretty easy and such a great experience. We love our doctor here and had such a different experience this time around than the other two! I did not miss delivering in Mississippi! We instantly fell in love with this sweet girl. She came out perfect. Her coloring was amazing and her head wasn't mishapped from delivery. We stayed at the hospital until Wednesday until about 11. I was quickly discharged and we were on our way, another huge difference from Mississippi, not having to wait around for HOURS to be discharged, it was so nice!
