Update

No witty title for this one. I'm just not feeling creative today. This post is just an update of all that has gone on in the last 10-12 weeks.

Addison is growing like a weed. She started out in the 2% in weight. At her last doctors visit 3 weeks ago she was 12 lbs 14oz and no in the 36%. She is rolling over from her front to back. She hasn't quite figured out back to front yet. She has down it a couple of times but hasn't mastered it yet. We started solid foods last week and she seems to be doing ok. So far not enjoying it but not disliking it either. She is such a happy baby and 90% of the time is in a good mood the other 10% is usually due to lack of sleep! She is sleeping through the night most nights and has been for about 8 weeks now.

Football season ended the past Friday. It was much easier than I anticipated it to be. Addison was great. She loved sitting and watching the games for the first half and then would usually sleep through the second half. She is her father's child though. Once halftime hit she chould care less about the band and the dance team. Jason loved having her at the games and getting to see her after they were over. We move into basketball season which is much easier for our family. Jason was home by 5:00 yesterday afternoon and it was so nice!

Next up we have Thanksgiving and Christmas. I can't wait to celebrate Addison's first holidays with our families.

Addison in her Halloween costume. She was an octopus. I made the costume. Turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself.

Cheering on Sam Houston State University on the day of the Battle of the Piney Woods. Sam beat SFSA that day!

Cheering on the Texans. The smile proves she is too young to know how awful the team really is!

And so it begins....

...the start of our new normal.

I haven't blogged since I annoucned my pregnancy. I wanted to take a break and fully enjoy the whole process. My pregnancy went really well up until the end of it when I was sitting at home bored out of my mind and ready for her to be here! I ended up being induced because of blood pressure reasons and after about 7 hours of labor my doctor asked me to consider a c-section because Addison had not moved down at all in the 7 hours I was in labor. I choose the c-section because I was already exhausted and my doctor was only going to let me go a little bit longer before I would have to have one. After Addison was born we found out that the chord was wrapped around her neck 3 times and that was why she wasn't coming down on her own. All in all the c-section was the safest thing for her. Our beautiful baby girl was born at 6:42 pm on June 27th. She was 5lbs 10 oz and 21 inches long. 

The day after she was born. Still my favorite picture of her.

We start our new normal on Wednesday. I go back to work and Jason has already been back at football for quite sometime now. We have an amazing person watching her during the days so I have no worries about that other then that I don't get to be with her all the time. Football season should be fun. She gets to go to all the games. I can't wait to see how much she notices as the weeks go on. 

Addison ready to cheer on the Mustangs and her Daddy!

Life has been amazing ever since she got here. I love watching how she changes every day. We tried so hard and went through so much to get to this point. She is our little miracle baby and everything was worth it to get to hold her in my arms. 

Baby Update

Now that the secret is out I can blog again!

The pregnancy was a complete shock for Jason and I. So much so that I was having a conversation with a friend about how cruel of a joke God would be playing on me if I was pregnant and that was two days before I found out.

Turns out after a molar pregnancy your body resets itself and for a small amount of time it acts as if there is no fertility problems. Some how in that short window of time during football season no less Jason and I were able to create a baby.

At first we were not sure if I was pregnant or if I had cancer. I called my doctor and she got me in within a few days. We found out that I wasn't sick but I was only 5 weeks so there was no baby to see yet. I went back at 6 & 1/2 weeks and got to hear the heart beat. I had another ultrasound at 8 week sand was taken off of high risk at that point.

Since then everything has gone great. Other the nausea and heartburn I haven't had any major side effects. After all we have been through I will take it all. Only craving so far has been ketchup...weird I know. My belly is starting to grow. Jason can see it now. Still can't see anything unless I have no pants on but I don't think it will be that way for much longer.

We find out Feb 4th the gender. I will blog again then.
