Sleep is overrated

I have been meaning to put some updated pix on the blog, but our internet has been down. Now that it is back up, the batteries on the camera are out. Yuck! So, here is a pix from the day we came home. Little Addison is two weeks old today and overall, she has been a great baby. She has had a few hard nights when she wants to nurse, but she just can't or won't for very long, causing her to wake up often to eat. The days after those hard nights are very discouraging, in my sleepy stupor. It seems like I will not get another good nights sleep for the next 18 years. But, last night she slept pretty well, so I feel more optimistic today. She is so sweet and cuddly and is just trying to figure out her world.

At her one week appointment, Addison had already gained 3 oz., so the doctor was very impressed. Normally, they don't expect babies to reach their birth weight until they are 2 weeks old. Addison never even lost any weight! I think she may be a little chub! I will add more pix when the camera batteries are recharged! Keep us in your prayers...especially if you wake up in the middle of the night. Chances are, someone in the Adkins' house is probably awake! The little girl is crying, so i have to run!
