Mom and those bows!! :)

Loving play time with daddy.

We had Addi's second doctor's appt. on Friday and Addi is doing awesome! She now weighs 6lbs. 1oz. She is gaining weigh quickly now eating 80 cc each feeding.
She is getting a little more alert every day and we have had fun playing a little bit.
Addi loves to be sung to sleep and loves taking a bath. Getting her hair washed is her favorite part. :)
I will try to get some pictures posted tomorrow for everyone to see.
Thank you again for your prayers and support.

The house remodeling is also finally finished. YEAH!!!!! I will also try to take some pictures and get those posted. I am loving every minute. The house looks great and I don't think I could have done better myself. :) I can't thank everyone enough that put the house back together for us!

Hello everyone-
We have had a very busy and wonderful past couple of weeks. I would have updated a little bit sooner, but Matt just got the internet hooked back up late last night for me.

We did get home late last Monday afternoon. After a very eventful trip home, we finally made it. Addi did very well on the airplane ride home, sleeping the whole way. I will have to post details of our very humorous trip home a little bit later when I get a few more minutes. Pretty funny!!!!

I am enjoying every minute of newly remodeled home and getting to spend time just looking at Addi. Something I would have been able to do without the help of our friends and neighbors!!!

Addi is doing wonderful as ever. She is gaining weight and is now above her birth weight. In fact, she has quite the little double chin going on right now. :)
She is letting us get a little bit of rest at night but letting us know that she is now part of the family. Addi loves getting a bath and loves having Matt wash her hair.

Matt has been busy farming, trying to play catch-up. I will get some pictures posted soon!!!
Thanks again for everyone's prayers and support!

We love you!!

Matt, Valerie, Addi

Hello everyone!!! Sorry for the delayed update. Addi is doing fantastic, continuing to impress all of the doctors and nurses with her progress. She is continuing to eat very well, now consuming 60cc of milk every three hours. She always wakes up about 15 minutes before it is time to eat to let us know that she is expecting to be fed. :) She seems to be awake for a little bit longer every day. She has Matt's beautiful blue eyes! She has also found her left thumb when her pacifier is not readily available. Addi is a pretty calm baby unless she is ready to eat or needs to burp.
We have been truly, truly blessed!!!
I do think that Matt is getting a little restless being away from Hutchinson, America but is doing well. Hard to believe that Addi has gotten Matt to change a diaper and read something besides a farm magazine. (Matt has been reading literature that the hospital has given us as well as the car seat directions, pretty cute!! He wants to make sure that Addi is properly cared for.)
The doctors are talking that they may let us go home on Monday. YEAH!!! Addi is continuing to gain weight and maintain her temperature.
That is about all for now. We are really enjoying our addition to our family and continue to Praise God for his miracle. A huge thanks to everyone for their prayers and continued support!
Love to all-Matt, Valerie, Addi
