Happy Halloween!

first bath

This one went much better than her second bath, when she pooped in the water. We weren't quite sure how to handle that one.

Pure Sweetness

Poster Child

I know that the Moores and the Edgings both had one first, but I mean, it is the Schubie Wrap :-) (kind of like a Moby, but cheaper and made with a little more love).

Jason took Addie (and Nacho) on her first walk in the wrap this morning.  (This was after he decided that it wasn't going to work out for him to go to church this morning... see story below about the "poop bullets.")

A few things and a few pictures

- Adelaide's chord fell off Friday night (3 days old).  After freaking out b/c I thought this was way too early, I decided that this is just a sign that she will be advanced at everything.


- Nacho is doing great with Adelaide. He is so so curious, but so gentle. He likes to sit at my feet when I feed her. When she cries, he stares at her and starts whining like he wants to make it all better.

- Last night after a feeding I set my alarm for 4 hours later, assuming that Adelaide would wake up before then anyway, but wanted to not go any longer than that just in case. When my alarm went off she was stirring and fussing a little, so I turned my alarm off expecting her to start crying and then I would get up. Well, we both fell back asleep for an hour. So I got almost 5 hours of almost uninterrupted sleep last night. **For any baby-wisers, I promise we don't usually go this long. We definitely would like to have a good schedule for her and usually feed her every 2-3 hrs. But who can argue with 5 hours of sleep at night?!

- Adelaide spent her first Saturday of life watching college football with Pop. We're starting her off on the right foot.

- Recovery from childbirth can be rough. People really should warn you more about that.

- I think Adelaide will have the entire Big Picture Story Bible read to her before she is a week old. Just yesterday they were in the creation story and today I think they were somewhere around Jesus and Nicodemus. She's such a pastor's kid.

- We changed 4 poopy diapers in like 10 minutes this morning.  She had a dirty diaper, so I let Schub take her to clean her up while I went into the other room. Then I heard the quote of the day, "She just sneezed and shot poop bullets all over me!" So then we had to change her again and while we were doing that she peed all over the changing pad and herself. Then we put another clean diaper on and within minutes she had sneezed and pooped again. Guess we should have waited just a few minutes to make sure it was all really out. 

- I kind of secretly love it when one of her outfits gets dirty because that means I get to pick out something else cute to put her again and again :-)

Without further ado...

Welcome

Adelaide Elizabeth

born October 12, 2010

6lbs 13oz

19 inches long

I won't go into to all the details now. Labor was long and didn't go exactly as expected (it never does, right?) but I proved my doctor wrong and did not end up having a c-section, praise the Lord. Adelaide is perfect (obviously :-) ) and has been pretty easy so far. Thank the Lord for Jason. I could not have done it without him. He has been an AMAZING supporter - encouraging and by my side every single minute. He is up with us at night and has done WAY more diaper changing than I have. 

Please pray for him - he has his FINAL exam before the Presbytary for ordination TOMORROW (he might be just a little tired) and is studying right now instead of sleeping like I'm about to do. Jason you will do great!! I love you and thank you for being the official best new dad in the whole entire world!
