We are just having so much fun with this little peanut! There are not words to express how much we love her and how grateful we are for everyone's prayers and sweet comments this past week. She is so precious and such a gift. This past week has gone by soo fast...I don't want her to get bigger! But I know she will and am excited for everything to come too. Nursing was touch and go there for a few days, but we've both gotten the hang of things and its all good now. I just know this is what I'm meant to be, a mother...I feel like a part of me is more complete as I care for this sweet baby. Anyone that knew me well when I was young knows how I always wanted to hold the babies at church, etc. I've always just loved babies and now I finally have one of my own to take care of! Of course I already have Alexis, but that situation is obviously not the same. Little Addi has brought a new measure of joy and hope to our lives!Here are some of the latest pictures:
First sponge bath at home
Sunday outfit, of course we didn't go to church but I thought it would be a good time to wear this little dress I fell in love with at the store and HAD to buy her. :) I just love all this pink and dressing up and of course she has to have a headband and flower!
This little girl already has her Daddy wrapped around her little finger! Its such a joy for me to watch. I just love it!
We loved having my mom here for a week...I wish we lived closer to family, thats the hardest part about living here. But we are grateful for the times we do get to see them.
Then Zach's mom and sister came to meet Addi! So much fun!
Chillin' with Grammy...We were so glad they could make it up to meet the newest addition to the family!
We wish we lived closer to everyone so we could show her off to all of you! Please know how grateful again we are for your continued prayers and thoughts in our behalf.

She is so adorable. Congratulations again.
Oh I am SOOOO happy for you. She is seriously the sweetest thing ever! I too love watching Trent with Finn and my other kids, its just brings me so much happiness. That week did go by fast but it only gets better.
I think I was meant to be a mother too. It's all I've ever wanted to be. I think that's why I felt like such an absolute failure when Cora died. But maybe that's why we were given such perfect sweet spirits.
I didn't realize how much Cora's death affected Matt until I saw him with Erin. He just wanted to hold her close and protect her all the time. I don't think I realized that he ALSO felt like a failure in being unable to protect his daughter. I love seeing men with their children, seeing such obvious joy and love.
She's just beautiful. Congratulations again. (hugs)
