Week 4 (Dec 26- Jan 2)

One month down

Izzy got princess heels and a crown for Christmas and hasn't hardly put them down. She is my sweet little princess.

Addie's first Husker game.

Addie and Izzy getting ready to go watch the Husker bowl game.

 

We went to the Petersen's for the sad Husker game. Izzy found princess gear and  was in heaven even though the Huskers lost.

We got home from the holiday rush and Mark took Addie's stool sample in and there is still blood in it so to formula we go. I am so sad that we don't get to spend that intimate time together and I am not able to deliver the best for my child. I cried the entire first bottle I gave her.  I know everyone says that it's ok and she will be fine, it's just something a mother cherishes.

Well I am now writing this four days later and our little Addelyn is a totally different child. She is calm, not writhing in pain, her gas has diminished, and she is just a happier baby. It is just crazy how the best thing for your baby (breast milk) can be the worst. She is even starting to coo.

Izzy has been a great big sister. She loves her and calls her "Tiny." I  was at home over Christmas and sitting with both girls and Izzy reaches over and holds her baby sister's hand and at that moment I new I did the right thing giving Izzy a little sister. Things Izzy is doing right now is singing, singing, and singing. Any chance she gets. You can talk to her like an adult and understand everything she says. we've been potty trained for about three months with only a few set backs when Addie came home. ?Her favorite thins are Dora, Princesses and babies with a little Elmo thrown in there. She truly has become quite the little girl. I love her to pieces.

Our New Year's Eve was perfect over hotdogs, mac and cheese, apple juice and beers. Our friend Brian Nunns came over to hang for a little and we all watched the ball drop on TV. Yes...even Izzy. It was impossible to get her to sleep. On this New Years we had all the family sleeping in one room. Izzy slept with us and Addie in her bassinett. Well I hope this finds you all well and we will talk soon.
