RSV

This week has really been a trial. For those of you that didn' t know Addison was in UVRMC for 2 1/2 days with complications from RSV (respritory sylinacal virus). After basically quarentineing her, our best efforts failed us. She got it anyway.
She was admitted on tuesday after I saw that her fingers and toes were turning blue and was fighting to breath, had a temp of 103, and wasn't doing well at all. Mom had had enough. We rushed to the doctors office and they sent us to the hospital right away. Where they suctioned her out and got 10cc's of crud from her lungs and sinuses. I was a wreck at this point. They put a baby IV in her arm and had to do it twice because she was dehydrated. I felt like the worst mother in the world.
After 2 days and alot of prayer she was doing alot better and they sent her home. She is recovered about 95% but is still stuffy and worn out. But I suspect soon she will be good as new.
Thank you to everyone that worried and called us. I love living this close to family and friends that care so much about us.

Addison's Big Day

Addison was blessed on January 6,2007. It was really nice to see all of our familyin one place. Alot of people came from far away and that was sweet of them to support us. Heath did a great job on the blessing, I think he got more emotional than I did. He is a softy for this little girl. Doesn't she look like a marshmallow in her blessing dress! Grandma Dalton made this gorgeous dress for her ( she is so talented).

First Smiles

Too cute! I just love looking over and getting a smile first thing in the morning! It melts your heart.

Bath Time

Addison loves bath time, kicks and splashes. She reaaly hates getting out though. Ithink she just really likes the little tub.

First Family Photos

We are cute aren't we. My friend Amy Schofield did these for me, call me if you want her #.

There are too many sick people to take her to kiddie kandids so we had Amy take them at our house. I love these pictures!

The Winter of Our Discontent

One month into the whole parenting thing and still no good at it. Last night we think we got 4 hours of sleep total. Yawn...I'm tired!

Addison had her first eye infection Tuesday that was also fun. Nothing a $60 antibiotic wont fix :) She weighed 9 lbs 7 oz at her visit, She is a Dalton girl and likes to eat. She doesn't fit her 0-3 month clothes ad is too small for 3-6 month either so everything she wears is too big, but not for long at this rate. She started smiling...at Heath. She doesn't smile at mom yet, I think she knows I'm the one with the bugger-bulb. she hates that

Heath has a new job @ Sherwin -Williams and won't be traveling anymore! Yeah! we are pretty excited it will be a great opportunity. but work is still work!

Christy gave up nursing and decided it is the most unnatural thing ever. She feels better now that she isn't the only one that can feed Addison.

We are just taking one day at a time really. Yawn I'm tired
