Welcome home Addison!!

March 7th - My family was so sweet and made Addison's homecoming very special...and obvious to the entire neighborhood!!Yes my family made t-shirts that said "Welcome Baby Thomas" and wore them faithfully at the hospital and at Addison's Homecoming party! Great-Grandma Waters had to jump in on the action, or the picture at least.

Hospital life

With my slow recovery from the c-section, Matt and Addison had plenty of daddy-daughter time! :)





Wow we just fell in love with Addison instantly! She was so beautiful right from the beginning, with her cute little red round face and bright alert eyes!

Addison has arrived!

Well I said that I would start a blog once I became a mom and had something to write about! Well the time has come! Addison Brielle Thomas made her grand entrance on Wednesday, March 4th at 2:54am. She was delivered via c-section after 25 hours of labor that would not progress. Her heart rate kept dropping at the doctor's attempts to move labor along. When her heart rate dropped from the 130's to the 70's with simply a minor change in my sleeping position and they found I was only 4cm after being at the hospital for 20 hours, they finally convinced me that a c-section was the best option. Looking back wish I had done it sooner when they first recommended it! Matt saw them pulling her out and gleefully announced "ten fingers, ten toes", then "...and a lot of dark hair"! Matt and Addison left for the newborn procedures and I joined them 30 min later. She was beautiful! Olive complexion and dark hair just like her mom! A bit of a surprise to me, but she is just beautiful and is making her mom and great-nana proud.
