Life at home= complete!

 I can't believe that our sweet baby is two weeks old today!  Oh my goodness...where is the time going!  It feels like yesterday, I was in the hospital having her!  Our life is finally complete now that we have our Addison with us!  It is so amazing how natural being parents has become to Kody and me!  Addison has stolen our hearts and has actually been a very easy baby so far.  She sleeps a lot during the day and is feeding every 2 1/2 to 3 hours.  Her nights are becoming better, but are still very unpredictable.  Every night has been a little better though.  Last night she slept 4 1/2 hours, I fed her and then she slept for another 2.  I was so proud of her.  This has happened quite a few times now!  I'm such a proud mama!  :-)

Last Saturday, April 16th, our friend Marissa from church came to the house and took Addison's newborn pictures!  She got so many precious shots!  I can't wait to get the cd of pictures and see them all!  There will be a post dedicated to just her newborn pictures when I get them...so stayed tuned!

We went to the doctor April 12th for a check up and to make sure her jaundice was getting better.  She had a little bit of jaundice and had to do some light therapy in the hospital, but it wasn't anything serious.  They did another test and everything came back normal!  Yay!!  When she was born she weighed 7 lbs 5 oz and when we left the hospital she was 6 lbs 12 oz.

Her stats at 5 days old: 6 lbs 13 oz- 19%
                                     20 inches- 61%
                                     head- 12 3/4- 3%

We went back to the doctor today, April 21st for her two week check up.  She did so good!

Stats: 7 lbs 9 oz- 26%
          20 1/2 inches - 59%
          head- 13- 2%

We also found out that apparently she broke her collar bone on the left side during delivery.  Her pediatrician said that it is very common for babies to break it going through the birth canal.  She said that she is fine and that there is nothing we can do but let it heal.  She has not been fussy and is moving her left arm just fine, so I'm not worried.

first visit to the doctor

She is so precious!!! I love all the pictures!!! I'm so happy for you and kody!! I had a friend who's baby broke his collar bone the same way. He is now 2 and has no problems at all, and I have heard it's very common too!
