A Birthday and a baby!

Wow it has been a crazy couple of weeks! The week that Addy arrived, we also had a birthday to celebrate! Rawley turned 5, and we decided to keep it low key for obvious reasons! We had Rawley's choice for dinner which of course ended up being pizza, then he opened his presents and we had cake, which I actually made! I really don't know where I got my energy from that week!




Addy is growing like a weed. I forgot how quickly they grow and change, and I apologize that these pictures are so late in posting. We saw the doctor when she was nine days old, because she was born on a Sunday, and the clinic was closed on Monday for Thanksgiving! At that point she had already surpassed her birth weight and came in at 9lbs 6oz. I would say that she is well over 10lbs now at almost 3 weeks old. We are still adjusting, but I am finding that adjusting to 4 kids was easier than 3. I think the main reason is because I have quite the helper in Hadley! At 7 I am more confident in her, and she loves Addy. I think that she would hold her all day long if she could. She is sleeping good, and has a lot of awake time which is surprising to me, I thought that newborns slept longer. I do like that she has 2-3 hours in the evening where she is wide awake! I guess that makes her sleep better for me! Anyway enjoy the pictures, and hopefully there will be more to come a lot sooner!

She is only minutes old here.

You and Pat make cute babies Jess.

Oh she is cute. I have heard that 4 is easier than 3. That once you do 3, it doesn't matter how many you have. I am still a little hesitant to take that step though. We'll see.

Happy Birthday to Rawley.
