"Welcome Home Addison"


Well you read it right above, we welcomed our beautiful little Addison home TODAY!!! She came home weighing in at 4lbs 1oz. She is monitor free, and so far wakes like clock work to eat, and then drifts right back to sleep for over 2hours!! I am keeping my fingers crossed that I am going to get another Devin, he was a great baby. She is such a little angel and gift, I could not be happier to have her home finally. Our sweet little Devin seems to think that his new baby sister is pretty neat :) just look below lol!


Although we have only been home 3 hours as I type this, there was already a frantic moment! My sweet husband that he is went to the store to get little Addi some things, and also to pick us up dinner. I'm not going to lie for a breif moment I was nervous to be left home alone with 2 kids! Needless to say it went smoothly, until about 30 minutes in lol.... I heard Addison start fussing on the intercom, Devin had fallen over on the ground and landed on a toy, so he was crying. It's like I had to stop in my tracks and ask myself "Which baby do I go to?" So I sat Devin back up and gave him a bink, then I rushed upstairs to Addi. It went smoothly, I have a feeling I am in for it. Well all I'm sure my stories will just get better from here on out, until then enjoy some more pics below.......

Chris and Cari - I imagine the feelings of love, appreciation, and the power of family don't get any better than the moment you set foot in your home for the first time as the invisible 'Duncan family of four.' Congratulations on persevering to bring Addi into this world and helping her through her first extreme challenge. She is a fighter and a true ‘Marcario Girl.’ You both continue to raise the bar for dedicated parents. I am excited to belt out a big Happy B-day to the Dev-man (Jack-Jack) on his first this weekend, and in no time at all, to his lil’sis. You are a beautiful family.

Can't believe how HUGE she makes her carseat look. Our month early Calvin Christopher currently weighs 4lbs 14 ozs. I love that they are healthy but tiny miracles. Congrats, she's adorable.
