Week 5

Tomorrow marks the start of week 5. For those of you who noticed I haven't posted anything in the last two weeks, If you have kids then... you understand. Over the last few days, I have found myself holding Addison more and more when I am not working. Time moves so fast. This last weekend we packed up all of the newborn nipples and 4oz bottles. By the end of this week she will be out of her newborn diapers and into ones. Hard to believe. You want, so bad, to get passed the sleepless nights, and at the same time you hate to see them go. So far the next few minutes... I'm gonna hold my little girl, kiss her on the forehead and hope (for a moment) that she stays little, for a little while longer.

Week 3 and we're still here...

It's hard to believe that three weeks have passed. I realize that surviving three weeks with a newborn is not new or unexplored territory. Other people have done it... just not us. Its funny, the things I swore I wouldn't do or couldn't do... I've done. At this point, I've been pee'd on, survived the dirty diaper, and been spitup on too many times to count. I have worked, held the baby, rocked the baby, fed the baby... the one thing I haven't done much is sleep. Oh well, at least AddisonISsleeping... (for now anyway)

Me and Mommy

Having a daughter means loving more than you knew you could love.

It means giving more than you knew you could give.

It means receiving so much more in return......

Having a daughter means knowing that whatever else you did or didn't do, you gave the world something beautiful.

This was on a card that my mom (gigi) gave me when Addison was born. Needless to say, it produced a few tears!

Addison is beautiful and I am so proud of her. This experience has been better than I ever imagined it could have been. It's true that you can't imagine your life without them. Life has not been the same and I wouldn't want to go back to life without her. I already worry about EVERYTHING with her. I welcome the challenge of being a mom to this beautiful baby girl.............
