Rewind

So..........the second pregnancy has been uneventful up until 35 weeks. Thus it all begins again...I start developing high blood pressure, but it seems to be off and on. Then 36 weeks and it is still there, so I go on bedrest. What De Ja Vu! And does anyone know what it is like trying to rest when you have a 4 yr. old? Lets just say that at 37 weeks-we induced. Of course that was for medical reasons only, but had Dr. Stamps not decided this-I already had a speech prepared for him and pregnant women can be very convincing.
So I am taken straight over to the hospital and have already dilated some so they start the PIT! Who knew that it would be hours later and the next day before little Addison Rae Ellen was born. She weighed 7 lbs. and was 20 inches long. Just a little thing! She looked a lot like big sissy and Emma thought that was pretty cool.
The next few weeks are a complete blur. Addie, much like her sister, eats all the time. Every 2 hours to be exact and I mean you better be right on time!
Emma has done wonderful with being a big sister and sharing the attention. We couldn't have asked for her to be any more understanding. She loves her little sis!
As the weeks, or I should say, next couple of months go by-things get a little easier. She is still eating every 2 hours, but we have just adjusted our schedule. Next thing I am waiting for is some sleep!
