This week

This week has been a busy one.


Last Friday, Addison got a visit from her cousin Kailey and her boyfriend, home from college.

Saturday a close friend of mine, Jessica got married to the wonderful Kevin and it was a beautiful celebration. It was also Addison's first trip over to Grandmama Connie's house, who she spent the day with while we were at the wedding.

Tuesday was Connie's birthday and Thursday Addison and I met her out for lunch.

This weekend we are going to finally carve our pumpkin, hand out candy to our 3 or 4 trick or treaters and getting ready for Charles's mom, Kathi, who is coming to visit on Thursday.

Last little sleep

Dodie brought Addison downstairs so she could get a little more sleep..Addison was a little fussy in her carrier so I laid her on top of me..

Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday we took a drive around Northeast Georgia and one of the stops we made was at a pumpkin patch..By the time we got home Dodie and I were a little tired but Addison still had plenty of stamia..

Glad it is the Week-end

It has been a somewhat long first week both working and for Addison..We keep increasing the amount we are feeding Addison and hopefully she will will start gaining some weight because she is currently not increasing or decreasing in weight which is a little bit of a concern..It is amazing how times she sneezes and has the hiccups during the day which we found out was perfectly normal..I think this week-end we are going to go for a drive to both see the amazing fall colors and get Dodie out of the house for a while..

Well we had a nice weekend- both of us got to catch up on some missing sleep. And Addison had several visitors- Joyce, Marriett, Karri and her daughter Natalie dropped by yesterday morning and brought some food and then she met Aunt Gina, Uncle Danny and cousins Allie and Carson.

Couple more pics

Here are some more pics..Addison is starting to sleep a little more during the night but she mostly sleeps during the day. Dodie's mom, Connie, has been over the last couple of days which has been a great help. Today Dodie's sister, Gina, her husband, Dan, and there kids are coming up from Savannah to visit Addison for the first time. Should be a good day and hopefully a lot of action so she can sleep more during the night because last night it was my time to get some sleep and tonight it is Dodie's.

I'm ready to meet the world!

Addison prepares to leave the hospital and looks forward to seeing the outside for the first time and come home.

About to go home

We are thinking we will be discharged at around noon today..It is such a beautiful day and both baby and mom are looking forward to getting some fresh air...

Addison First Footprints

Here is a movie I took yesterday, 10/4, of Addison getting her first footprints with my Kodaz zi8. Hopefully everybody can see the video.

First night

First night for Addison, Dodie, and Charles was somewhat long. I ended up staying at the hospital to offer what little help I could. Mostly it was Dodie trying to breastfeed every couple hours and getting checked up on. It was nice a couple times the nurse took Addison to the nursey for a couple hours so we got a little sleep then..

Addison Kaye Pleiss is here

She arrived October 4 at 4:16 pm.
She weighed 7 pds 2 oz.
Both baby and mommy are doing good.
Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes...

Last Day

Yes I guess nesting exists....
Hours before I go into hospital- I have washed several loads of clothes, cleaned the oven, kitchen, cabinets and floor. Whew, guess having that baby will be a breeze compared to all that LOL
