1-Month Photo Shoot
Since Adam and I are both against the posed Sears or Walmart photos, we decided to do our own photo shoot on her 1-month birthday. Apparently the photographers at Sears and Walmart have a few tricks up their sleeves because we couldn't seem to catch her with her eyes open. We definitely had a good laugh though. Here are a few of the shots.

First Month Review
Well, it's hard to believe that I finally have a few minutes to update our blog. Before Addison was born I would have found it hard to believe that someone who just stayed home to care for a baby couldn't find a few minutes in the past month to post an update, but it is the truth. It was sort of along the lines of Adam and I both thinking, "really, how tired could we possibly be?" HAHAHAHA!!!! It's a good thing we were so naive going into this!
So... where should I start? I guess I'll pick up from where I left off in my last post. At 11:00am on July 5th, Adam and I headed out to the hospital. What a strange feeling that was to know that when we returned to our house, the two of us would be three. Here is a picture of us just before we got in the car.
We spent the afternoon in our hospital room waiting to be called to the OR. We were the last of 5 c-sections that day so we had a bit of a wait. At about 5:45 the porter arrived and we were off. The procedure was without complications and 45 minutes later, we were parents. Addison Mayne was born at 6:34pm, weighing in at 5lbs. 15 ozs. Here is our first family photo.
The next few days in the hospital flew by with us learning, mostly by trial and error, how to take care of her. We were released on Sunday morning and our new little family headed home after a quick stop to pick up more diapers.
And then the next month flew by and we continued to learn and get to know our little girl. Here are some photos:
Her first bath (which she loved!)
My grandparents flew out from Tofield for a weekend to meet her. It was a special time and allowed us the opportunity for a 4 generation picture.
Uh-oh, I think our little cutie just did something not so cute in her diaper so I have to run. I promise to post more often.
