I haven't even written how it has been having 2 or the story of how Addie got here, but to make a long story short: Two kids is way hard...kudos to all the Moms I know out there with any number of kids. If Addie slept more than 40 minutes for a nap or at night in her crib, it might be easier...I don't know. She is probably around 9 lbs now, and just passed her 4 month birthday. I'll know her weight for sure next week with her 4 month checkup. She came 6 weeks early when we were visiting Neal's family in Lehi over Thanksgiving. We were planning on bringing home Thanksgiving leftovers...not a baby. She only had to stay in the hospital for 2 weeks, which was FOREVER to me, but I know for others who go through preemie babies it was probably really fast. It was honestly one of the hardest things Neal and I have had to go through... Neal still working(he only took like 1 day off), balancing between the 2 kids...wondering if I should be at the hospital with Addie or home with Kyle. Thanks to Lance and Nikki we had somewhere to stay close to the hospital (she was at Alta View hospital in Sandy). But even though it has been a rough couple of months adjusting to everything, I am so grateful for Addie getting here safely and for the joy she already brings into my life.
I love it When...
She blows raspberries at me
if I say one word in baby talk to her (gee or goo), she goes off on a whole story in baby language
she smiles and laughs out loud
Kyle touches or kisses her, and is shaking all over like he is trying to contain all of his love for her
I ask Kyle to tell her a story and he sits by her, holds her hand, and makes up a story
Addie lights up when Kyle sits down by her to play with her
her beautiful blue eyes get really big and round when she sees her Daddy come home
she sleeps for an hour in her own bed
she's screaming in someone else's arms, and calms down in her Mommy's
I love my 2 kids and am so blessed to be trusted to care for them while they're here on earth.
Addie Marie...4 lbs 13 oz, 17 1/2 inches. 11-28-09...yes the day of the big BYU vs Utah game, and yes Neal stayed with me in the hospital and didn't go to the game :)
Addie's blessing day
Kyle's Blessing day...We think they look just alike as babies. Sorry you can't see Kyle very good in this pic

Meg - my treasure! ( : Yes, I blog stalk you - what I really need to do is call, I know. But in the meantime, I love seeing pics of your darling family and hearing a bit about what's going on with you guys. I can't believe Addie came so early! I actually heard most of that story from Spence - while I was sitting across the aisle from him while he was flying into Texas (on his way to Chile!) But that's a whole other story... to be shared over the phone! It was good to see him though. I made me miss you, and the whole Ellison family. Love you, girl. I'll call you, K?
