Addison Grace Farmer

Our sweet baby girl is finally here! She was born on March 4, 2011 at 2:12pm. She was 7 lbs, 12 oz and 21 inches long.

I went in to be induced on the 3rd. I started having good contractions around 8:30am on Friday and got my epidural. I started pushing around 12:30. She was not very eager to come out, but when she did she was very healthy and strong with a really good cry! Here is one of her first photos.

Brad and my mom were in the delivery room and shortly after delivery I moved to my other room which seemed like a closet in comparison. We came home on Sunday and she was able to meet her fur siblings!

Here we are as a new family of 3!

New York City!

My mom and I went to New York City Nov 29-Dec 2. It was a perfect time to go. Everything was decorated so pretty and the temperatures were in the high 50s/low 60s. We got to see the big tree at Rockefeller Center among other things. We also saw the Rockettes Christmas show.

I admit that all that walking wore me out but it was well worth it. Here are a few pictures from our adventure:

28 weeks- 3rd trimester

Wow, I can't believe I am already in my third trimester. I am ready to meet this little girl, but I am starting to get a little nervous at the thought. She is much easier to take care of in my belly!

The doctor said everything looks good and now I have to start going every 2 weeks. Here is my belly shot.

We're having a.................

GIRL!!!!

We are SO excited to have a little girl on the way. It is really amazing how many people thought it was a girl and it was! I was quite surprised when the tech told us. I didn't think there was any way that many people could be right! The ultrasound looked good and she was very wiggly. The tech had to pin this little girl down to get her picture! I have started to feel her in the last couple of days. I guess she is practicing kicking her legs!

God has truly blessed us and we cannot wait to meet her. We have decided on the name Addison. The middle name is not final yet but we have some options.

Here are some pictures from the ultrasound.

Her little face! Her little feet

It's a girl!

16 weeks

Here I am at 16 weeks. Some days I feel huge and others I don't.

Feeling better

I am almost 15 weeks now and am FINALLY feeling better. I have my moments and I still get tired easily but the nausea has pretty much gone away...praise GOD!

My belly has started to poke out. Some days it is bigger than others. Here I am at 14 weeks, 2 days.

I swear I feel a lot bigger than I look here! I have gained about a pound or so and that is it. That is good I guess and I can pretty much still wear all my pants.

As far as the baby goes, we got to hear the heartbeat a couple of weeks ago. I go back to hear it again on the 13th.

Our big ultrasound is on the 27th. I still cannot make up my mind as to whether I want to find out what we are having. Part of me is very anxious and wants to know and another part of me thinks it would be so cool to be a delivery surprise. Brad would really like to know, so we'll see!

We have the most wonderful friends who have already bought us some stuff. I have made a few purchases myself. Here is what all Elizabeth got us....a TON of stuff and lots that he/she can use when they are older.

Our other friends Carmin and Victoria got us a rubber ducky and bunny. I have to hide both of them because Kiwi thinks they are her's. They also got some cute little britches. Carmin has a feeling it's a girl so she committed and bought pink!

Here is some stuff I have collected. I had to give the socks their own picture because they are so stinkin' cute!!

So, we are starting to collect some things. Now that I feel better I might venture out to Babies R Us and other places and look at stuff and start picking out a crib and everything. Lots of fun!
