Going to the Dr. - 2 wk check

Here is Addie getting ready to go to her 2 week Dr. check -up. She really didn't like her glasses and they lasted all of 2 seconds; but long enough to get this great photo!!

The update at the Drs was great! She now weighs 9lbs and 4oz. She is 21 inches long. Dr. Martin said she is great and he sees no problems. She goes back in 6 wks for her first round of shots and another wellness check.

Here we are finally at home with a few nights of sleep under our belts. Thank goodness she likes to sleep 3-4 hours in a row at night, so we get a few good hours in a row.

Home at Last

Here we are finally home.....

Going Home

Here we are getting ready to leave the hospital. My really good friend Pam, gave us Addison's going home outfit. She looked so cute in it :) Thanks Pam

5 Minutes Old

Here she is about 5 minutes old. She was being weighed and measured.

The Big Arrival

Here she is being pulled out of my belly. Notice the deep crease in her forhead, from being stuck at my pelvic bone.

Finally... Addison Rose Arrives

Well, she is here! She took her sweet time, but had a bit of trouble getting out. Here are the important details.

I started with some hard contractions Thursday night about 10:00pm At about 1:00am Friday morning it was on. We labored at home by ourselves until about five am then we called in out Doula's to assist. We headed to the Hospital at 3:00pm on Friday. I labored for a few more hours and started pushing at about 7:00pm. After about three hours it was looking like the baby was crooked in there and wasn't coming down correctly. So Robert and I talked and after at this point 23-1/2 hours of UNMEDICATED labor we decided to have the C-Section.

So at 10:56pm on Friday April 13th Addison Rose Smith joined us as 8lbs 15oz 20" long bundle of joy!

40 weeks 1 day and counting...

Well, here we are at 40 weeks and 1 day and I'm still pregnant. We had a Dr. apt today and no progress was made over the last week. She is still high and my cervix is still at 1cm. We have the next Dr. apt on Thursday. Dr. Busch said he will call for an induction on that day, if there is no progress. Hopefully, Little Miss will make up her mind to come out on her own in the next few days. Cross your fingers :)

Other than that I'm feeling fine and the baby is doing well.

Thanks for all of the well wishes!
