About Addy

So Daniel suprised me on Wednesday morning at 12:30 a.m. I had just finished feeding Adelaide and Daniel had filled my water for me. He kissed my cheek and said Happy birthday your first present I got you some water. I laughed and said thanks hon! I didn't look at it and he still needed to shower so he jumped in the shower while I changed and rocked Addy. When he came out he looked at me funny I finally went to get a drink and there was a box on my water bottle. Daniel had got me a gift card to Thai Pan Trading, it was really sweet of him and he couldn't wait to give it to me. When he got home from work (he left early) He brought me this rose.Daniel also took me and Addy to dinner it was really nice and I love him so much for always thinking of me. Roma Ann made me a cake and she got me the book "My dear sisters" by Pres. Hinkley. I'm excited to read it, I heard it is really good.

Daniel also bought Adelaide a little outfit. Here are a few pics of it.

So cute of her daddy to get her a couple outfits that fit, he had to buy preemie because she's still little. I love her little smiles and I know everyone says it's just gas but sometimes with her I'm pretty sure that she's just a happy baby. I watched Tyson yesterday for LaRae while she ran into town for some errands. He was suppose to sleep along time but he woke up shortly after and I realized how hard a parent of 2 kids have it, he wanted to do all these things but I didn't want to leave Addy, it was a little rough but he did alright he does love her and love holding her. Lincoln and LaRae came over this week also and Lincoln has gotten so big, look at that ALL STAR!

Thursday I went to Heidi's to mend Daniel's pants. I left almost in tears of laughter because I did such a poor job patching his work jeans. In my defense he had huge holes and Heidi said she thought they weren't worth patching but Daniel loved these two pairs so I thought I'd give it a shot, but alas my homemaking skills only go so far :) Tomorrow is the baby shower so I'm excited to see everyone.

Some things about ADDY:

*She sleeps about 6-7 hours a night WAHOOOO!

*She cries maybe twice a day and a total of 8 minutes!

*She has pretty strawberry blonde hair.

*She can lift and hold her head up.

*She can turn her head to look at you (well she did when her mommy started talking and then went cross eyed!)

*She loves her daddy!

*She doesn't like her carseat.

*She smacks her lips loudly to tell me she's hungry.

*She is very feminine

*She always sleeps with a hand or arm by her head

I LOVE THIS BABY GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S> Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes I had fun with my new greatest gift!

Addy's One Week Birthday

Addy's pretty blue eyes
My sweet girl
Cute feet, just want to gobble her up!
Happy Birthday to Addy, she's a week old and I can't believe how fast it has gone by. Here is how our week went. We left the hospital on the 30th of April and had some visits that I mentioned in the last post. On Thursday we just chilled out and had a relaxing day, Addy received a blanket from Aunt Roma Ann who had worked on it while we were in the hospital it is so cute. Addy spent the day being with her Grandma Ellsworth who was an immense help this week and Steph came to see the baby. On Friday we saw LaRae and Tyson and Lincoln, they were sure cute. Saturday we had our first trip out, we needed to get some things like nursing shirts for myself and so Daniel and my Mom took the trip with me, Addy did really well but I was pretty worn out and getting a headache when I got home. My Mom left early Sunday morning and we sure miss her and I cried a little when she first left because it was just a nice security blanket to have her there to make sure I wasn't screwing everything up. I slept in with Addy Sunday morning while Daniel went to church. Daniel has been awesome and it kills him to go to work because he just wants to love on his little one.
(Addy getting ready for our outing) Yesterday we had our first outing by ourselves. She had her one week check up and was amazing! The doctor said she was really healthy almost back to her birth weight already, and perfectly proportioned. We then met Daniel for lunch and then I went home again so exhausted I think I overdid it because I had a migraine all night. I feel so incredibly lucky because Adelaide is absolutely a sweet tempered baby. She's only been waking up once a night and she hardly ever cries unless her diaper is being changed or she needs to burp. She doesn't even cry when she's hungry she just starts smacking her lips loudly and making cute little noises. I love her so much and started crying the other night because I felt so blessed to have her and Daniel. Today was great I was more productive at home stuff. I made the bed, did laundry, swept and mopped the floor, and made some thank you cards, so I felt a little less like an invalid. I want to say congrats to Denise and Glenn on the arrival of their little boy, so excited for all the babies at home that we will get to meet them when we go home. Also Happy Birthday Logan! My cute nephew is getting bigger and bigger he is 6 this year and I can't believe how fast he's growing up! Anyways I'm excited for Saturday because my cousin and my sister-in-law are throwing me a shower and I can't wait to show little Addy off! Also so happy I get to be a mother this mothers day (that was her dues date so just happy she's here already) Hope everyone has a great week and had a great Cinco de Mayo! (Daddy burping her after her 1:30 a.m. feeding, he fell asleep fast and I had to pry her away from him.)
