Addison Grace






It's a girl! After waiting nine months, she's finally here! Russ and I left for the hospital at 2:30 am on Friday morning. (I had called my mom to watch the kids, and take them to school.) When we arrived to the hospital, I had to go through 12+ hours of labor, and she was still clinging tight to my ribs so we had to do a C-section. She was born on September 12 and weighs 8 lbs 13 oz. I was supposed to stay at the hospital for four days, but they let me out early on the third day. I'm still pretty sore, but I'm happy to be back home. Addison is beautiful, and reminds me of all three kids. At last, my family is completed with two boys and two girls!

Okay, I saw this post and immediately thought, "Wow--she was able to teach Russ A LOT about blogging!!!" But then I saw that it was really you--and I'm impressed you were able to get this posted so quick! I'm so happy they let you out early! It's so nice just to be in your own home and begin your routine. Addison is adorable! I can't wait to see her again! I'm still bringin' dinner to you guys today!:) And some other stuff too.:) Love you!
