Addie's FIRST HAIRCUT!

Addie had her first haircut (finally)!

We went to my sister's house, and her sister in law cut Addie's hair for us... she was SO good!

Getting ready:


The CUT!


All done!!!!!


Sooooooooo happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!


It isn't the best "after" picture, so I guess you have to wait for a future blog to see the finished product better :)

Miscellany

Addie just loves holding Evie... she is such a good big sister :)


Evie finally had her first real bath on December 18... her cord fell off the day before so she had to have sponge baths before that. She likes the real bath MUCH better, she didn't cry at all in the tub!


She held on tight to the washcloth the whole time... it was super cute.





Addie wanted to help


"whatcha doin' Addie?"


All warm :)


This seems to be Evie's favorite position in the swing.


When Addie saw me take a picture of Evie, she HAD to be in it too!!!

2.5 Weeks: In Review

Evie before her first hospital bath: "get me out of here!"


Addie meeting Evie for the first time.... she wasn't so sure about it!



She came around though!



She always hugs her and puts her hand over Evie's face!


And she loves patting her on the head!


Cutie :)



Ready to go home!!!!!!!!!!!!!


All strapped in to go home! They almost didn't let us leave because we couldn't figure out how to make the straps tight enough to be safe! Finally I figured it out though, phew!


First time home! Addie likes to give her her pipey.



A couple days after we got home I still had a bad headache, so we took my blood pressure, and it was 170/110! So we went to the ER. While being monitored there my bp topped out at 200/112, and they put me on blood pressure medication. All the other tests came out fine, so that was good news. We are hoping to be off the meds for my 6 week check up. After I had Addie, my blood pressure went right back to normal, and my blood pressure while pregnant with her was higher than this time.

Anyway! When we were at the ER, they said we should take Evie to the doctor to check her for jaundice. We did, and she had it. Blah! Her number was high enough that they thought we should put her on a bili blanket. If you don't know what it is, here is the only picture I have with it kinda showing. You can see the green light by her diaper. It is basically a plastic pad thing that covers her back, and has a light on it... it has a long tube connected to a machine that has the light in it.


Addie getting comfy in the swing (you can't see well, but she has a pillow in it to lay on)



Snugglie bug in the swing.


Look where her foot is...


Addie giving cuddles (she is obsessed with taking her shirt off lately, it is either wet or dirty, so she HAS to take it off)



Pipey?



Evie chillin' in our bed


My first day alone with both girls... Addie was SO tired, because I forgot about her nap!
(you can see the tube connected to the bili blanket here)

Cutie



We did our Christmas card pictures yesterday, here are a couple out takes.
Addie checking out the ornaments.


She got a lollipop for being good for the pictures... she was SO excited about it!



Evie didn't get anything for being good, but she sure looked cute :)


We are hoping she is done with her bili blanket, she has to get her blood checked again tomorrow, and hopefully it will be low enough that we can send the machine back. Poor thing has tons of pokes in her feet :(
