2 months

I'm almost 2 weeks late, but better late than never!

I (Jenel) went back to work when Addison turned 8 weeks :( Everyone is adjusting now.

Our little lady is changing every day!

She...
* is more interactive
* is giving social smiles :)
* likes to stare at ceiling fans
* likes to look a the Van Gogh print in the living room
* loves to stare at light or flashing light
* is now 24 inches and about 12 pounds
* is now wearing 6 months footie pajamas

We just love her to pieces!

One month

It's hard to believe it has been a month already since our little lady entered this world!

Brian is still working like a mad man, but he is still enjoying his time with his mini-me when he comes home :)

I'm already worried about going back to work and I still have 4 weeks left on maternity leave. We are all adjusting and getting better at life with a baby.

Addison is...
Already good at holding her head up
In 0-3 months clothes because she's so long
Has a hard time keeping socks on because her feet are long too
Loves to fall asleep in her daddy's arms
Is becoming more alert during the day

2 weeks old!

Our sweet little lady turned 2 weeks old on Wednesday!

Already!

* She's outgrown some of her newborn clothes because of her long arms and legs.
* Her umbilical cord fell off a few days ago
* Monday she weighed 8lbs 7oz at the doctors
* We had our first real bath on Wednesday!

So much growing already in 2 weeks!

Just a few of my favs so far! There are too many cute pictures to choose from!

38 & 39 Weeks

One week to go!!!!

I saw the doctor on Friday and I was 1 and 1/2 cm dilated. We scheduled my induction date for 2/12 if she doesn't come before then....we shall see!

We feel pretty much ready in the sense that the house, etc. is prepared. I'm not so sure we are "ready" in our minds for what is to come!

I've picked up a nice cold this weekend and hope to shake it before I go into labor. Prayers please! I don't think I would be a happy camper with a stuffed up head and being in labor.

It'll be any day now!

I was trying to push her out...it didn't work...

Hopefully my next post will be about holding our precious girl :)

36 & 37 Weeks

We are full term!

I had a wonderful baby shower at work this week. My co-workers are great! We got a lot of adorable clothes and a bunch of gift cards. We were able to get a few last needed things with the gift cards we received and are very grateful!

We did get to do our maternity pictures last Sunday and they turned out beautiful! Our 36 week picture is from that photo shoot.

Other than that, we are just playing the waiting game now! We are ready to meet our little Miss Addison!

35 Weeks

I'm a week late in writing this.

My excuse is complete exhaustion!

We were supposed to have our maternity pictures done last week, which is why I didn't really do a "real" photo for 35 weeks. Another excuse, I know. We are one again today, and the sun is shining! I'm pretty confident we will have beautiful pictures this week :)

My best friend had her baby on Friday! I'm so excited for her and her husband! We got to meet their darling little girl last night. She is beautiful!

Now I can't wait to have my darling little girl!

We've met our pediatrician. So that's one more thing off the list! There are few things left to do. One major thing is to install the car seat base. I think we will try to do that today because Brian is going to be working on the weekends again starting next weekend. Well, until Addison arrives.

We are also nervous about that because he's working 2 hours away. However, our doctor doesn't seem to concerned yet. Nothing seems to be changing in likes of the baby coming. I guess we'll get a little more concerned once things start to change.

Here's the picture I took on Monday of my 35 week belly!

34 Weeks

We're getting closer!

I've been busy trying to get things ready for Addison's arrival! I still have quite a few things to do...but I guess we get done what can get done!

We have a doctors appointment on Friday. I think after this one I'll have to start going every week until she's born. I'm hoping they'll have some late afternoon appointments so I don't have to take any more days off from work.

One of the things that I've done was put the swing together. I can't wait to put her in it :)

Today I'm going to try to put the pack n' play together. I might also try to finish cleaning the car so we can install the car seat and put the window shades up. 

There's so much to do!!!! So little time!!!! 

Of course Brian has been working like crazy again. He's going to have to have off this coming Sunday though because we are getting our maternity pictures done! Hopefully I don't look like a beached whale lol 

Anyway...here's the picture from 34 weeks...I was lazy and didn't do a board this week. 

Happy New Year!
