I can't believe it has been 2 years since Brandon and I were blessed with this beautiful girl! Brandon wanted to have kids right after we got married, he was so excited to be a Dad. I will be honest I was a little nervous, I knew I wanted to be a Mom but I wasn't sure if I was ready. Well Brandon won and I was pregnant. I spent six months throwing up and it was not the funnest thing ever. But I could feel this little person moving and growing inside and it made it all worth it. She came 4 days early (it didn't feel early to me). I worked up until 2 days before I had her. Every day I would leave work and say I am going to have a baby today, and then I would go back to work that night and scheme about ways to get my labor to start. Friday I went in for my last check up, I spent all afternoon at the doctors office having tests and ultrasounds and crying, I almost lost it with the doctor but I held it together. They were worried because her heart rate was slow, they almost sent me in to deliver her that day but after all that stress and tears they decided to send me home. I went to the hospital to have her checked Sat. AM and she was fine but I was having contractions. I went home for the day, my mom sent me back at 5 that night, she decided my contractions were bad enough and close enough because I started to get irritated and not fun to be around. I hung out for a few hours and was progressing slowy. I didn't think the whole labor thing was too bad.... then they broke my water, it got a lot worse and I was throwing up every contraction and decided that I had thrown up enough in my pregnancy and got and epidural, which I loved! It was not to bad after that and Addison Grace was born at 11:50 PM 3/10/2007. Having Addison is the best decision I have ever made. I feel so blessed to have sich a healthy beautiful little girl. She is very smart and is always surprising me and Brandon and making us laugh. I can't imagine life without her! She loves to color and read books. She is a little chatterbox and says the funniest things. She loves to sing and dance, she knows the words to twinkle twinkle, I am a child of God, We are a happy family, give said the little stream, I am like a star, wonderpets, backyardigans, and Brandon's favorite George Straight Cowboy's Like Us. She walks around the house singing all day. She loves to be outside, especially at the park or riding the 4-wheeler with her Dad. Addie is definitely a Daddy's girl. Her Dad has a very big soft spot for her and has a hard time telling her no. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful husband. Sometimes being a working mom is challenging, I am so lucky that Brandon is such a great Dad, he takes such great care of Addie while I work and I do not have to worry about her at all while I am gone. They have so much fun together! It is sad to have your baby grow up but I am so excited to spend the next year watching Addison learn and grow!

She is such a smart and beautiful girl. I couldn't believe her perfect little face and her eyebrows. She looked like a little doll. She is so fun to watch. We miss you guys and miss seeing her more often. Happy Birthday Addie! Don't grow up too fast!
Happy Birthday cute girl.
She is beautiful. We hope she had a great day.
She is one cute little girl. It was so nice to have her visit over the weekend. Grandpa loves to spoil her too! Btw, I know where the good looks and smarts come from. :D
I can't believe she is two! She is so sweet. You are such great parents we love all of you! Happy Birthday Addie!
HAppy Birthday Addie, we love you so much even though you don't know me very well!!!!
I love you guys so much and wished we lived closer! I am going to need a walking partner when the baby comes.
We love little Addie Bear! Happy Birthday. What an amazing journey. Of course I remember the night she was born, she was so dang tiny! And then when she got older-her cheeks got chubby. She is such a smart little thing too. I love hearing her talk to Felicity and say her name. She is such a good cousin and niece.
