Family Line-Up

An exciting three weeks!

It is crazy to think that Addie is already 3 weeks old! This past week Grandma Tammy (who from now on wants to be called Nana) has been visiting and helping out as Brad had to travel to New Orleans. Addie has hd a lot of "first's" in the past few days. She had her first bath, and her first bottle, her first walk in the stroller, and slept for 5 hours straight for the first time (I was most excited about the last one :) Everyone is doing well. Papa Ryan will be arriving on Sunday, and will be taking care of Addie since Brad is back at work and I am back at school.

Play Time with Addie

Everyone is doing great! Addie still seems to have her days and nights mixed up which has exhausted mom and dad. She is a very happy baby though who loves to squirm and be held. She has been eating really well (which makes for A LOT of dirty diapers) and is growing fast. We are looking forward to our first family visitor, Gramma Tammy, who will arrive this week.

Bailey loves his little sister. He is very protective and gets quite concerned when Addie is in her swing or on the floor. He must think she is in danger...

Bath Time

Addie gets only a sponge bath until her umbilical cord falls out. Her favorite part is getting her hair washed underneath the kitchen sink.

Home at Last

Little Adelaide has now been home for a few days and is doing wonderful despite having her days and nights a little mixed up... She met Bailey a couple of nights ago and they are already the best of friends. He is the first to the side of her crib when she whimpers, is hovering over every diaper change, and supervises all of the feedings. The baby even seems to make him a little less neurotic around the house.
Addie had her first appointment at the pediatrician's office this afternoon and left with a clean bill of health. She also made her first appearance on Skype when she visited with Grammy and Grand Dude all the way out in Colorado.

Ever seen an Alien?

So, I was told that the baby will move less as she gets bigger and as she gets closer to being born. If this video is any indication, this girl is not coming out any time soon. Enjoy!

This baby better be a girl...

So there is no sign of the baby yet, apparently she just wants to hang out in my belly rather then come out! Since Brad and I are just passing the time waiting, we thought we would post of pics of the nursery to share. Since we are renting we decided not to paint the walls, but we think it still turned out pretty good. Brad build the shelf above the crib (He's so handy :) Thanks to Brad's Grandma for the gift of the crib, and my sisters for the changing table. As you can see, with the amount of pink in the room the doctors better be right about this baby being a girl!

She's a RYAN

Here we are on February 12th, three days after Meg's due date, with no baby. I guess she must take after her mother as she is already late for her first appointment with the hospital...
Meg is uncomfortable but still feeling good. Our friend Amy thinks that she is in pre-labor which is good news for all you eager family members. Stay tuned as we get ready to grab our bags and rush off to the maternity ward.
