Addie Caroline is here.....

Miss Addie Caroline has finally arrived!!! She has actually been here for 11 days, so I am a bit behind. I was scheduled for an induction on Thursday 10/11/12. Daniel and I reported to the hospital at 6:00 am like instructed. By the time I got settled, got my IV started and such it was a little after 8. My OB came in and checked me and I wasn't very far along at all. I got my Pitocin started and was left for the Pitocin to work it's magic. It didn't take long for the contractions to start. By 11 am I was definitely feeling them. My OB came in around lunch and broke my water and I was well on my way. I got my epidural at about 1 pm. After the epidural, I slept most of the day because what else could I really do? Around 6 pm, I was at like 7 cm and from my experience with CJ, I dilate very fast after a 6. My OB came in at 7 pm and informed me it was time to push. After the nurses got the room ready, it was about 7:15ish. I was told to push and after 1.5 pushes Addie Caroline was born at 7:21 pm. She weighed 7 lbs. 14 oz. and was 20 inches long. She was and is perfect in every way. She has a super easy birthday to remember 10/11/12.

My recovery this time around has been a little slower than I remember with CJ but not terrible at all. Addie is an amazingly good baby. She is a champion sleeper so far, only getting up every 3-4 hours at night. She very rarely cries. The girls are pretty smitten with her. Well, actually Olivia is very smitten. She loves on her at every opportunity and CJ is concerned about where she is but other than that, she is pretty neutral about her.

I know people say that every baby is different, but Addie and Cameron look like little clones of each other. Pics of them at the same age, they look like twins.

I apologize if this entry is a bit jumbled, even though she is a good sleeper, I am still dog tired.

Here are a few pics of Addie..
