Just pictures of Addison's first month of life

We have had many visitors this month from some wonderful family and friends. She has already gotten to spend plenty time with all of her cousins...Megan, Macey, Makenzi and Ryder and of course, her sissy, Aubery!

Addison has already gotten so much bigger. At her 1 month check up she was up to 9.5 lbs and 22.4 inches long.

Welcome Addison Kate!

So much has happened since the last time I blogged! I don't even know where to start! The most important thing to mention is the new addition to our family. We are so happy to welcome sweet Addison Kate to our family. She was born on Friday, June 26 at 7:43 am, weighing in at 7.6 lbs and 21 inches long. She is now 5 weeks old and time has been flying by. She has been a sweet baby girl from the start, only crying when she is hungry. Let's hope she keeps this up! I am working hard on trying to get her to sleep through the night. She will wake up only twice to eat, which is nice...I guess!? Mama is tired, okay! I have watched more tv than I ever have before over these past 5 weeks while nursing my sweet girl. Aubrey, big sis, has really embraced her baby sister. She is so nice to the baby and really just loves her! I am hoping that I will be blogging more now, since Addison will be a bit bigger and more easy to manage! All that being said...until I go back to work in September.

37.5 weeks ~ Only 5 days to go!

Since the countdown is on, I thought I would post one more pic of my evergrowing belly. I think that she is running out of room in there for sure. By this time next week, we will be holding our baby girl. We just can't wait!!

Maternity Leave

I am getting so excited about the arrival of Baby Addison! She will make her debut in only 17 days. We have been very busy getting her room ready, including washing mounds of laundry. With the second, same sex, you have everything and that makes the laundry preparation feel like it will never end. It is so much fun getting all of Aubrey's old things out and remembering back to when she was that small. It went by so fast because now she is a Big Girl and a Big Sis! I am adding a picture of myself here at 35.5 weeks. I am feeling pretty good, but starting to hit that sluggish tired feeling you get at the end.

For all of my photography clients, please note that I will not be taking any more orders after Monday, June 22. This will barely give us enough time to order and get the pictures to you before I am in the newborn baby haze. So...go ahead and get those orders in!! :)

I will begin taking orders again about 3 weeks after that. I have activated the 'shopping cart' on Smugmug, so you can always order that way. But, remember, my packages are not included on there...that is only for a la carte. My last day of my real job is Wed, June 24 and I will be off until September 21.

29 weeks ~ Addison

I turned 29 weeks with Addison on Thursday, my 29th Birthday! We are so excited to meet this little lady in only 9 weeks!! I have not done a great job of getting the nursery ready since we have had so much going on, but I plan to work on that tomorrow. Meanwhile, here is a photo of my belly at 29 weeks :)

23 weeks ~ Baby Addison

Reluctantly, I am adding a preggo photo of my belly and Baby Addison. With Aubrey, we took pictures every single week...really every single Sunday, since that was the day my week turned over. With Addison, things are a bit different, as they usually are with the 2nd. Addison is just growing so much everyday. This morning, Kevin got to see her kick before he went to work. She loves the mornings. I can't wait to meet her in only 3 short months! Please excuse the terrible photography...my husband has trouble taking a picture :)
