Addy Pearl has been in our lives for 12 whole weeks, and yes, it feels like she's been here a lifetime and has always been a part of our family. I am so, so thankful that God surprised us with her!
I have loved being able to be home with her for the first 10 weeks of her life, and I realize how lucky I am that I was able to take 10 weeks with her.
I went back to work when she was 11 weeks old, and she started daycare.
Right now, she only goes to daycare two and a half days per week. Even though she could go full time, I decided that I wanted her home with me. I wanted to have alone time where I could focus only on her. I did the same with Megan, and I'm blessed that I have the opportunity again. I also didn't see a need in sending her to daycare when I was home, and having to deal with pumping.
She goes to Bible study with me on Tuesdays and sleeps peacefully in her swing.
Her typical day starts around 7 or 8 (depending on whether or not I have to work.) She takes a nap while we drop her sisters off at school and run errands. We typically make it home around 10:30 or 11, and she eats again, and then goes back down for a nap around 11:30. She wakes up again around 2:30 or 3:00 and eats before we head back out to pick up her sisters. I typically feed her when we get back home around 4:30, because she has almost always spent the last hour crying off and on! Once she eats around 4:30, she goes back down for a nap until about 7:30. She eats again, and is back in bed by 8:30. I usually sit in my bed beside her while she is falling asleep (sticking the paci back in her mouth as it falls out) and then I get her up again around 10 to feed her one more time. She has slept through the night on several occasions, but when she doesn't, she wakes to eat around 4:30 or 5.
Her daycare schedule is typically the same, but she's had trouble taking naps there. She's too fascinated by all of the activity and other babies around her to sleep!
Her first day at daycare, she came home and slept so well, and then slept through the night!
She eats every 3 hours for about 10 minutes.
She smiles and coos.
She holds her head up well.
She takes a paci but will also happily suck her fist.
She is wearing size 2 diapers.
She wears size 3 months clothes.
My favorite moments are right after she eats and how happy she is; smiling and cooing, or holding her at night trying to get her to sleep.
She is finally content to sit in her bouncy seat or swing for about 10 minutes.
I love what she has already added to our family; I love how Megan loves her and has become more of a little mommy herself. I love how Gretchen will randomly give her a sweet little kiss, and I love when DJ gets to hold her and catch up on what he's missed while he's been at work.
Our family of 5 is very blessed.
