Addison's Check -up
Addison went back to the doctor yesterday for a weight recheck. She had gained 4.4 ounces since last Wednesday! I was so excited. That meant no hospitalization for her. Dr. Cooper (her pediatrician) said that although she hasn't gained what he would have liked for her to have gained, we are on the right path. So, he just wants to see her again next Monday to make sure we are continuing to gain weight!! Thanks for all your prayers!!

Update on our lives
Well, Addison is a little over three weeks old now and has yet to gain back to her birth weight. At her 2 week checkup she was only 6lbs 13 oz and a week later had only regained 2 ounces, weighing in at 6lbs 15oz. Her pediatrician is wanting to reweigh her on Monday and says that if she hasn't gained the weight that he thinks she should, he is going to put her in the hospital. I am having to keep a log of when she eats, how much she eats, and when she pees and poops. It hasn't been much fun, but we hope and pray that she is gaining the weight she needs to gain! We just want her to be healthy and happy!
Brady adores his little sister. He loves to touch her hands and her feet and kiss her on the head. He likes to help hold her bottle while she is eating! The first thing he asks when he wakes up in the mornings is "Momma, where's Addi?" It is so cute. I was afraid he might be jealous of all the attention that I have to give to Addison, but he has adjusted well. We still have to remind him that he must be gentle with her, but I think that goes for most 2 year olds.
Chris has started his second semester of his Master's program. If all goes as planned, he should be finished with his Master's degree in May. He wants to be a guidance counselor. He is currently teaching social studies at one of the local middle schools and enjoys his job and his co-workers, but is ready for a change. He will be the head coach of the middle school baseball team in the spring, which I think he is secretly looking forward to! He loves coaching!
Not much has changed in my life, except obviously I have 2 kids now (3 counting Chris!!). I still work at the Emergency room as a registered nurse, but am always looking for "the perfect job," if it really exists! I like what I do, but would love to find a job with hours that are more appropriate for having 2 kids!!
