Up to 3lbs 10ozs (What A Monster)

So I know that is so funny that 3lbs 10ozs is a monster to us, but when you produce 2 pounders it sounds petty good! So the nurses are saying she is gaining like crazy, she is averaging just over 2ozs a day. It looks like we are on the down hill side with the NICU. Thank goodness, because I am thinking I have seen enough of St. Marks Hospital for a WHILE. Chris joked the other night by saying "We don't need to see St. Marks until the 3rd baby". Oh if you all could have seen the look that I gave to him :) and no it wasnt a smiley face. I'm not saying there is no 3rd baby in the future, but maybe in the like 2-3 year future ALEAST! All I know is that my precious little girl is amazing, and she has really shown what a fighter she is. I mean she had alot of odds against her, but she didn't let any of it keep her down. All the nurses in the NICU that I see daily, have decided to name her pixie. They just all think she is a doll, and so girly, sassy, and a trooper. Addison and Devin neither one had an easy road coming into this world, but they have shown me already what amazing people they already are. I feel very lucky to now have 2 healthy children. It is looking like Addison could possibly be in our little home by next week. All they are waiting on is for her to get to 4lbs. The reason for that is so they can make sure she is maintaining her body temperature on her own, once she is she can come home!! I am wiating very patiently to hear those words, but I try not to get my hopes up though. Well until the next update enjoy some pics of Addi in her new stylish hat :)..............
