"Big Brother's Gift To Addi"


I thought it would be so sweet to put a picture of Devin in this giraffe frame for Addison's Incubator. It is a picture of Devin when he was in the NICU. Almost like big brother looking over her saying"I did it Addi, and so can you" :) It was funny the pictures we got of Devin with Addi's gift. He decided in one of them that he wanted to attack and eat the giraffe lol, what a goof ball we have. Honestly Addison is doing amazing, she is moving along so quickly. The nurses are saying she could come home sooner than Devin did if she stays on this track. I don't want to get my hopes up to much though, I learned that things can change in a day in the NICU. I also got to hold my precious bundle for the first time just a few days ago, so I wanted to share some pictures of that too. Daddy also got to hold little Addi too, you can tell by the picture how smitten he is. Addison owns him already, and she doesn't even know it :) My little peanut lost weight at first, and went down to 2lbs 9ozs. She is now back up to 2lbs 12ozs within just a couple of days, so she is gaining again. All I know that this has been a crazy adventure the last month, but I really feel so grateful for everyones help, and also for having two healthy children now! As non pleasant as the whole situation has been, I'm glad I did what I did in that hospital for little Addison. Well all until the next update, please enjoy some pics of my cute babies :)..........
