Thank you!

We just wanted to send out a giant "Thank you" to everyone for the well wishes and gifts of prayer, clothes, food, and other miscellaneous baby items. We are so happy to have such wonderful family and friends. We can't wait to see you all in the near future and show off Addison!

One week old

Addison celebrated being one week old on the 22nd with Dad on the couch. He read her another chapter in the vegetable story that he's been writing. She toasted with a little milk, and gave us lots of smiles.

First social call

We went to visit Grandmom on Tuesday. Mom and baby (mostly Mom) needed a trip outside of the house. Grandmom made us dinner and cuddled and snuggled with Addison while Mom and Dad got to eat together. We have been blessed with gifts of home cooked meals since we've been home. We had a really nice evening out.

First sponge bath

Well really this was her third bath, but we're pretending this was the first. She doesn't mind it too much, she actually likes it when Dad gives her the bath. She's such a happy baby!

Around the house

Just a few photos taken over the last 8 days. Mom's had some rough nights and some smooth ones. I've been napping during the day. Greg has been home all week which is so wonderful. We're not looking forward to his return to work next week. Hope you enjoy the photos.

Taking home our Bundle!

We came home on Friday with Addison. She slept for the whole car ride. It was a gorgeous Fall day with blue skies and quite a breeze. We took her on a tour of her house and introduced her to her cats. Pocket was very interested (as expected), whereas Scratch just seemed annoyed. We were ecstatic to be home and able to enjoy the outside air again.

Addison Paige arrived on September 15th!!

We are so truly blessed and happy to announce the arrival of our perfect baby girl!! She was born on September 15th at 5:51 PM. She weighed 8 pounds, 6 ounces and measured 19.75 inches in length. The delivery went smoothly and we came home last Friday. We are so in love with Addison!

Photo Shoot at T-2 days!

Here's the family! Baby Bean is currently 2 days away from being induced at 39 weeks. Baby is very strong and quite active. I am getting nervous about delivery, but overall we are very, very excited! Despite many opportunities to find out the sex, we still do not know and are looking forward to hearing, "It's a......!" We choose the names several months ago and have not wavered from our original decision. We are looking forward to introducing our new bundle of joy to all of you!

We're seeing progress!

The master bath is progressing. (Actually, this photo is dated by about 3 days and is missing the installed plumbing fixtures.) We finally have a grouted shower, tiled/grouted floor, installed toilet and faucets for the sink and shower!! It's almost functional. After a few touch-ups to the ceiling, we will seal the grout lines and install the lighting. In the meantime, we are working on cleaning the bedroom of dust and construction materials so that we can move back in there. Things are looking up (and not a moment too soon!)
