The first week home we had major help from my Mom, she took the week off of work and was able to help with the housework and cooking us dinner and grocery shopping for us. All the things that we thought we would have time for and didn't she was able to do for us and it was such a big help! We even got some good naps in while she was here which were much needed! Josh's parents were also able to help on the weekend, so neither of us had to step in the kitchen til Wednesday after Josh went back to work. He was able to be home for about 10 days which was wonderful. He has stepped into fatherhood perfectly!
Addison has made it so easy to adjust with a new baby at home. We were dreading the nights, but she would actually let us sleep for about 5 hours at a time if we wanted to, but we wake her up every 2-3 hours to feed her. The days are the hard part, I hear that's she's just like her father was and wants to be held and eat all the time. So I don't get hands free time until we get a visitor or Josh gets home. But we are both loving parenthood so far!
Addison had her first photo shoot when she was 1 week old. The photographer had said that with every shoot the baby will poo and pee atleast once, we were anxiously waiting on a poo for about a day since the dr still had us keeping track of all these things. Well she had her set up naked in one of the cutest little tea cups and Addison was giving the sweetest little smiles, sure enough she was also leaving a great big surprise in the bottom of this tea cup.I can't say the photographer was too happy about it, but Josh and I were and the picture turned out to be our favorite of all that were taken.
She's such an angel! Love her so much!
