We had photos taken of Addison in the hospital. I was so excited the CD of photos came in the mail today. Addison was just a day old. The photos are so cute! Here are a few of our family pictures we got taken.

Mommy and Me Monday - Our First Pictures
I love taking photos and always have my camera with me. So when my husband asked if I wanted pictures taken during delivery he was shocked to hear me say "no way!" Labor was hard and the last thing I was thinking about was getting pictures. When she was finally out and they put her on my chest, she looked right into my eyes and it was LOVE at first sight! I knew I would never forget that moment but I instantly wanted a picture of her. So I could someday show her a picture of the best moment in my life. So my husband ran and got the camera and now we have a photo of Addison only minutes old. Our first mommy and daughter picture!

Learning to be a Mom
What a day!
Addison has been wearing disposable diapers because her belly button was infected. So now that it's finally healed we can switch to our cloth diapers. I tried the tiny tush diapers on her and they were way too big. We have two of the gdiapers and luckily those fit her. She had a blowout and the liner was dirty and the other diaper was in the wash. So I decided to mix and match the liners thinking it would be fine. I put Addi in a cute outfit and was getting myself ready. She peed through everything, the diaper, her cute outfit, the blanket I just washed. I got her cleaned up and was now running late.
I was meeting some friends for lunch at Cosi. They hadn't Met Addison yet. I hadn't realized I needed gas until it was almost too late. After putting gas in the tank I realized I forgot my wallet at home. Luckily I did have some money on me (I was 50 cents short). I totally had a "new mom what the heck am I doing" moment. When I was getting ready to go in and pay I realized I didn't know if I should run inside and pay quick or take her with me. I probably stood there for 5 minutes. I decided I couldn't leave her in the car. I felt so silly not knowing what to do. I decided I'd rather have her with me even if it's a lot more work. I then had to run home and get my wallet and then stop by Target to return some things. Thank goodness that went smoothly!
Lunch was great. I got a wonderful mango smoothy and a tuna melt. You have to love Yummy food and catching up with friends. We then went over to Marshalls to do some shopping. I fed Addi in the bathroom and had to stand the whole time. Plus I swear she ate for about 30 minutes. Then they didn't have a changing area. So I put her changing pad down in her car seat and changed her there. That was not easy.
We got some Cold Stone and then headed home. It was great to get out today but I was so happy to get home and relax with my baby girl. I cried a bit for feeling like a failure. I know I will get it eventually. I've only been a mom for 3 weeks. I just want to be the best I can be for her!
I love being a mother, even though I don't know what I'm doing yet. Hehe! :)

Tarjay!
I am going a little stir crazy! On Thursday my wonderful husband took care of Addison while I went to give my hair and eyebrowns a little TLC.
So today I decided to brave shopping with a 3 week old. It actually went fantastic. I got to get Starbucks, Addi was on her best behavior (sleeping most of the time), and I got everything on my list. I forgot how wonderful shopping can be. There is something theraputic about walking around, sipping coffee, and looking at baby clothes. It used to be shoes! Hmmm I still love a good pair of shoes but now I'm more worried about making Addi's shoe collection as big as mine. She was a big hit at Target! Everyone just adored her. It makes a mommy proud!
I just love being a mom and look forward to many more mommy and daughter outings!

Mommy and Me Monday - Our First Walk
What a wonderful idea... Mommy and Me Monday. I'm so glad I came across this. It still seems crazy to me that I am a mom. But I am... to the most amazing little girl! I can't wait to do this every Monday and to see what others are posting.

Shane and I took Addison to visit her grandparents in Westfield Wisconsin for the weekend. She got to meet her great aunts, great uncle, and 2nd cousin. It's so beautiful out there. On Saturday my mother-in-law, my aunt-in-law, Addi, and I took the dogs (2 goldens and a brittany) for a walk. Luckily I got Shane to snap a picture before we left.
Love At First Sight
The waiting is over!
Addison Ashleigh was born March 13th 2011 at 3:02pm. She was 8lbs 8oz and 20 1/2in long.
When they placed her on me I knew I would do anything for this little girl! She is beautiful, strong, and amazing! I didn't know I could love someone this much!!!
Our Amazing Family!

It's March 10th and still no baby! I was due on March 5th. 5 days over and who knows how much longer. It sure is hard but I have an ultrasound on Monday. Hope we can meet our little girl soon!
My mom made her bedding set and I just adore it!
It took a while but it all came together nicely! My mom and I made a mobile to go with as well.
