Doctors Appt.

We just got home from the Doctors Office. Addison Layne is doing so well. She weighed 7lbs. 3.5oz. We are so proud of her. I knew the little Monkey was a eater! We will just be hanging out this weekend as Addie celebrates her first Super Bowl! Hope you all have a great weekend, we will update pictures soon. She is GROWING!!!

Good Morning!

It is Thursday and last night we were able to SLEEP!! We are so proud of Addie! She slept from 10PM to 3 AM without waking up. Mommy and Daddy feel like new people. We are getting there. Addison is such a blessing in our lives. Tommorow we go to the Doctors to check on her weight.
We are anxious to take her out and about but we have had several friends and their Newborns back in the Hospital due to RSV. This is the unfortunate part of having a little Snow Angel in January. We are going to be hovering around the house for a while due to this scare. We are also asking everyone who comes to visit us be in the best health possible with no sniffles or signs of a cold. It is amazing how this turns life threatning so quick for a little one. Our prayers are with Candace, Jacob, and little Lilly Chitsaz as they battle this currently at WakeMed. Our prayers are with you! We love you!

Some of Addison's new Friends...

Belated pictures

We wanted to share pictures of Addison Layne's last day in the hospital, her ride home and her first day at home. She loves to ride in the car!

Saturday...

Addison had a great first Saturday at Home. Aunt Catron came over and kept Addi long enough for Mommy and Daddy to run a few errands. Aunt Lois, Uncle Ervin, Cousins Monica and Madelyn Lois came over for a visit. Addi loves her family! She also tried out her new swing and we can already tell it is going to be a life saver! Our nights are getting a little easier as she only gets up 1-2 times and is easily settled back to sleep. We feel very blessed to have such a wonderful family that views our new little one as a blessing as much as we do! God is awesome!

Hello!

Today marks our second day at home. We went to Addison's first Doctors appt. She is doing very well. She had gained 2 oz. since leaving the Hospital which makes her now 6lbs. 8oz. We are very proud of her. She is not so jaundice and her "pumpkin" appearance is going away. John and I have been undergoing some major adjustment with Addison having her nights and days mixed up..we will be glad when we get this straight! We will post updated pictures soon. It is amazing how her looks change daily!

Addie's First Snow

Here we are, our first full day as a new family. Addie's was a little cranky last night, I think she was hungry. Elissa and I are ready to get home and to get things in order for our new lifestyle. Addie's had a great day watching the snow from her window here at the hospital. Elissa told me that this child was going to bring us snow, of course I didnt believe her. But, sure enough, our snow angel gave 6" of that powder that causes the kid in us all to come out. We can't express into words the graditude we have for the staff the has taken care us of during this experience. The doctors and the nurses that have taken care of Elissa and Addison have been so wonderful and sincere. Our next post will be from the comfort of our living room, God willing.
