Settling In









Bubble Fun - Being a good brother (he loves to show her his toys)




She looks so much older than two weeks in this picture.



Happy Birthday Ben! This is me only 4 lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight! Yes 26 lbs lost in two weeks. Yahoo! Now just 45 more to go.

Greyson entertaining himself. His room was spotless two hours earlier.
Addi is almost three weeks old and we are starting to figure things out. A great blessing has been some drops that the doctor prescribed us to help with collic. She said that they work in about 50% of babies and the other 50% don't notice any change. They just help stop the spasms in their intestines and give them relief. So far it only takes about 15 minutes after the dose and she calms right down. (Yeah! I was sure we'd be in the "doesn't work" group) The Zantac is doing wonders and we can feed without screaming. So all in all even though she has fussy times we are figuring it out and enjoying her tender spirit. She is so beautiful if I do say so myself. I have still managed to have us ready by 10 on most days and I've even managed to do laundry, clean the house, work in the yard, and go for a long walk each day. I have learned that putting her in the stroller and Greyson on a bike and getting out of the house does wonders for us all.
Thanks for all of your comments. It's so nice to feel support from everyone.

She looks like a little doll!! Cute as can be. I am so glad that she is doing better...and even more importantly that it will help reduce your stress so you can enjoy her more.

Congrats on the weight loss! Very amazing.

I am on board with getting together soon. I will look at my schedule and email you!

She does look older! So adorable, just like big brother :) Breezy, you look fantastic! I'm glad they found something to work for the colic. I remember those days, and not with any fondness, haha.

Oh, so cute! It's kind of funny that you say she looks older than 2 weeks in the picture with Ben - she does - but she looks minutes old in the picture above it with Greyson!

What a beautiful family! Can't wait to see you all again! (Keep your fingers crossed for a September wedding for us. My sister wants to get married in Salt Lake, just waiting for him to pop the question...)

Awwwww...your family is so cute. Little Addilyn is such a sweetie. I'm sorry to hear she has been dealing with acid reflux and colic. I hate that! I too remember feeling trapped and very emotional while Ivy was having those same issues as a new baby. I hope those drops keep on workin'. You're doing a great job as a mommy.

You look great, Breezy! And Addi is adorable. Glad things are going better with her and the drops are working!
