Addyson Victoria has Arrived

Saturday May 23rd at 6:08 pm our little girl finally made her arrival into this world. She was 7lbs 6 ozs and 19 1/2 inches long. Delivery went better than expected and thankfully there were no complications. We all are in awww over her. The boys are so sweet with her. I have to say that her Daddy is very proud and she already has him wrapped around her finger .

We were discharged from the hospital on Monday and Addyson weighed 6lbs 15 ozs and her belirubin was 9.5. Today was her first trip to the peds office and she weighs 6lbs 10ozs and her belirubin is 15. Hopefully a few days of sun will help and she want have to do photo therapy. We go back Friday for another check on her weight and the belirubin.

I have more pics to share, but I knew I left everyone in suspense long enough.

Here are a few pics of our sweet baby girl.

37 weeks and counting

Two trips to the dr. this week and no change. I am so ready to have this baby. I am uncomfortable, the contractions want stop, and I need sleep. I am scheduled to see the dr. Tuesday to set a time to induce. I know some people don't like to be induced, but I don't mind. So until she arrives you will find me walking, walking, and walking some more. If anyone has suggestions on things to try, please send them my way. While I loved being pregnant in the beginning, I am really just tired at this point.

Well I better get to walking. Maybe Austin and I will go out to Bridgestreet for a little while. Trenton want go, he dislikes shopping.

36 Week Check-Up

Wednesday was another day at the hospital for me. I woke up about 4:30 with contractions and tried to go back to bed. I was up again at 5:3o after tossing and turning with the pain. Danny decided that he probably needed to stay home with me and see if we needed to go to the hospital. I got up and took a shower and got everything loaded in my bag. Danny took Austin to school and we tried to not let him see me so that he wasn't worried. He worries about me when I am not feeling well, especially since I have been pregnant. We went up to the hospital about 8:30 and got in our room. It was a huge coincidence, but we were there on the 13th and we were in labor room #13, plus I was born on the 13th. Well we got hooked up to the monitors and they watched and checked me, and watched and checked me, and again the same thing. I did nothing, and while they want stop the contractions they can't induce either. So finally around 3:oo we went home.



Thursday I went in for my check-up and I have still not changed. He did say that if I don't have the baby by 38 weeks they will induce. Hopefully I will go before too long, at least that is only a week and a half away. So this weekend, I am going to walk, walk, and walk some more. And we will see what happens.

35 week checkup

Well yesterday was my 35 week checkup appt with Dr. Belmont. I am still dilated the same however Addyson is way low. So he is hoping that I make it another week or two. But he says if I go into labor now then they want stop me. So keep us in your prayers. I have more and more contractions every day, and Addyson is sitting so low that I don't feel like walking anywhere today. Oh, and tomorrow is the full moon. Yesterday was the first day that my feet have swelled. Thankfully it wasn't painful because I didn't have time to sit down. I am trying to get the house ready, and get dinner cooked every night for Danny and the boys. Have I mentioned I Love him for letting me stay-at-home. I enjoy every second of everyday. Even the days that Trenton drives me crazy, while my husband is working very long hours at work due to the hail storm we had. He hasn't been getting home until around 9 or 9:30 every night. And by this time I am ready for him to be home.

In other news, Austin woke up this morning with a crazy rash. It covers his stomach, back, legs, upper parts of his arms, and his neck. So we have an appt. at the peds office at 2:30. Hopefully this is nothing that is contagious. I am hoping that it is something due to his allergies. Seeing how he is allergic to everything outside.

Well I better get back to the chores. I am trying to finish up this laundry. Did I mention all of Addyson's things that we need are washed, ironed, and put away. (I only ironed the little dresses that had to be.) Now if I can only finish ours. Well back to work I go.

PS I hope everyone has a Happy Mother's Day!!! I would be happy to be delivering a baby on Mother's Day. But we will just see what Addyson has in store for us.

First trip to hospital

Well last night we took our first trip up to labor and delivery. I had contractions all day yesterday and after doing everything that I knew to get them to stop we headed to the hospital. Well we got there and I was dilated between 2 1/2 & 3 and 50% effaced. So they gave me a shot of brethine and waited 20 min. Then another shot of brethine. Thankfully the contractions slowed down and they release me. I am officially 35 weeks today. I go back to Dr. Belmont on Thursday and we will go from there. Hopefully little Addyson will hold off two more weeks.

33 Week Checkup

Yesterday was my 33 week and 2 day checkup. I gained a couple of pounds, my blood pressure was great, and I am finally able to do more around the house. I haven't started dilating which I would say that is probably a blessing. Addyson is head down which is good, and believe me some days I know she is head down. About every 3 days I sleep thru the night, every other night I might as well sleep in the bathroom LOL.

I go back to the doctor in 2 more weeks and then starts the weekly checkups. We are all patiently awaiting Addyson's arrival. We have had both of our showers, and have been blessed with a ton of gifts.

Well I will post pics as soon as Danny finds time to load my pics onto the computer. He is working very long days at work. Hopefully he will get to spend a little time with us this weekend. I think we may try to take the boys to panapoly, and enjoy a little fun time in the sun.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!! And enjoy this beautiful weather

9 Years and Counting...

9 years ago today I married my best friend. It doesn't feel like we have been married 9 years, but times sure does fly by. And with 9 years comes many blessings, we have two beautiful little boys and a little girl on the way. I remember being so nervous that day and anxious. I knew he was the one and he has made me a very happy woman since the day we met. Our family wants us to renew our vows at 10 years, but we will wait and see what happens. That may have to wait till 15, since we decided that I stay home.

So tonight we will be going out to dinner to celebrate. And hopefully we can get a few pics.

I will post more this week. I have lots of pics to share of our past week. I have to say we are blessed to have such a wonderful church family, amazing friends, and an outstanding family.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week!
