I got board so.....

I was board the other day so Brytlee and I tried taking some pictures of Adison. Brytlee thought it was so funny to put her in a basket and wanted to carry her around.. (I didn't let her) Adison was not in the mood for this and we didn't get any great pictures and out of thirty pictures these are the best......
Almost falling asleep....
getting ready to cry......
and starting to get a wee bit cross eyed. But she still looks so cute to me no matter what! I will have to try out my photo skills another day to see if we can come up with something fun.

this and that

Little Adison is already three weeks old. She is 9 lbs. and 3 oz.
She is always wanting to eat.
Then she likes to go to sleep!

Such cute girls!
Adison spit up right as I was taking this picture!
Her eye's are going a very pretty color of blue and her hair may have a little curl in it.

Spring Break

This last week has been my girls spring break. It hasn't been the most eventful week because we stayed home with the new baby almost the whole time. I am so scared to take her out because I do not want her to get sick. And the girls have been asking me everyday to have a friend come and stay, but for the same reason I have not taken her out, I have not dared to invite anyone over... I was hoping for some nice weather so we could go on a bike ride and play outside, but the entire week it snowed, rained, and was just so cold! Alexis was able to go to a couple of friends houses and play, but the other two just hung out at home. I still need to find a friend for Elizabeth that is her age and I can pair them up so she has a buddy for play dates and school, but it is so hard... She is such a friendly girl and makes friends with everyone she meets so I don't know why it has been so hard....
Later in the week I was feeling so bad that the spring break that they were having was mostly staying home and doing chores so I took them swimming on Thursday and Friday, and they had a great time together doing that. Brytlee was even getting brave and took of her floaty and went under water a lot. I am still so nervous so after a while I made her put them back on.
Saturday we went as a family to the movies to see HOP, it was a cute Easter movie, and the girls had a lot of fun. After that we went to Golden Corral to eat and they had a lot of fun picking out their food, and then eating all the sweets. They have a cotton candy machine, and a chocolate fountain so by the end of the meal they were so messy and sticky!
I am not really looking forward to have school starting again, it has been nice having my little helpers at home on most days. Some day's when the fighting starts I go a little crazy, but for the most part they were really good this week. They built a little club house in the basement and took the scooters down and they were down there for two day's straight playing great!
Adison has gotten so much better about sleeping at night. We figured out that I was just not giving her enough milk and so I started to pump to see if I even had any milk at all, and I didn't get much. And each day I get less and less. I still try all the time to see if it will ever come in, but still no luck. We started to give her bottles and she is much happier, and sleeping 3 to 4 hours at a time. I am so torn by this. With Brytlee she just WOULD NOT NURSE and had to take a bottle, but little Adison is such a good little nurser and wants to all the time so it is so hard not to. (Ryan calls me the binky) It is such a bond and I don't want to give it up, but it is starting to get weird doing it and knowing I am not feeding her but it may be hard to give up.

growing

I took Adison to her two week appointment yesterday and she has gained one pound. She now weighs 8 lbs, and 14 oz.
She is always wanting to eat and it makes me wonder if she is getting enough food or if she is just a little piggy.
If she is not eating she is sleeping (if it is during the day) or pooping. I guess that is why they say newborns just eat, sleep and poop.
Also at the doctors office, it was kinda funny when my doctor was checking her he said, "oh wow, she is already cute. .. most baby's it takes a month or so before they are cute, but she is really cute". He is a different guy so coming from him it was really funny.

Funny little girl

We have had a lot of talks with the girls about what they can and can not do around and with the baby. Brytlee was asking one day if she could feed the baby just something really really little. So Ryan said, "we don't put anything in the baby's mouth"! then Brytlee said, "oh, just moms boob"?
She is so funny!
