More CLOTHES and Our Registry...

I know what you are thinking...does this baby girl need any more clothes?!?!?! I am actually starting to think the exact same thing :) But it was a good mail week for Addi Kate and I wanted to share a few things that we'll be adding to her wardrobe...

I found these adorable plastic bibs on Etsy and couldn't resist. Most of the bibs we have are cloth, so I know these will come in handy when she gets messy.

Aunt Lisha crocheted this hat and I can't wait to put it on Addison's little head...

Aunt Lisha will be making a few more and will hopefully sell them on Etsy soon. So let me know if you are interested...she's working on some Christmas ones too.

Jilly (my mom) found these A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E. squeaky shoes and ordered a pair for her grandbaby... 

These shoes are so cute that I can hardly stand it!!!!

D'ma (David's mom) bought Addi Kate a few outfits too. This one is Daddy's favorite...

It's her first hoodie...perfect to hang out with Daddy and just girlie enough for Mommy :)

I've GOT to slow down on the clothes, Addison won't be able to wear them all if I don't chill out...or I'll be changing her clothes two or three times a day.

We also hit a HUGE milestone this week...we completed our baby registry. I literally cried through the entire church service this weekend, just thinking and praying about how thankful I was to be able to actually register for our baby. Which explains why I look like a mess in the picture below...

We registered at Buy Buy Baby and Pottery Barn and it was SO much fun! The first time we went into Buy Buy Baby, we were both overwhelmed with ALL the items to get for the baby, so I asked several of my friends that have had babies for ideas, recommendations, and must-haves for Addison.

I made a list and checked it off as we went through the store...it was definitely a time saver and made our registry experience so easy.

We felt like we were buying a car when we got to the stroller and carseat aisle...there were SO many to choose from.

But we relied on the expertise of friends and picked out the perfect combination for Addi Kate.

Again, this was another memorable week of our pregnancy and I can't express how grateful I am to have such a blessed pregnancy and perfect baby. I hope one day that Addison will know just how much we prayed for her little life and I promise to never let a day go by without thanking God for this miracle.

Tiny Dancer...

We had a very important ultrasound today. One that I want to make sure and record for Addison to read when she's the prima ballerina for one of the most prestigious ballet companies in the world!

All kidding aside (well, I'm not really kidding, but I do hope she enjoys dancing as much I do), let me explain what happened at our appointment.

Last month at our ultrasound the doctor had a hard time seeing Addi Kate's right foot. She was sitting Indian-Style and no matter what the doctor did, Addi refused to show her right foot. The doctor was very concerned about this and started telling us that there could be a possibility that she had Club Foot. I shared with the doctor that when I was a baby I was extremely Pigeon Toed and my parents put braces on me in the hopes to correct it. I wasn't really all that concerned at the time...after all, I overcame the Pigeon Toed-ness (is that even a word????) and am proud to say that I have a Bachelors Degree in Dance.

We were a bit put-off by how insistent the doctor was about Addison having a Club Foot and all the things we would have to do if this were the case. Keep in mind, this was NOT our OB...this doctor is just one of the many at our High Risk Facility and we had already heard from several friends and family that the doctors here do not have the best bedside manner.  In my mind, I kept thinking that having a Club Foot is not a life-threatening illness and as long as Addi was healthy, that's all that mattered. But I'm not going to deny the fact that I become overly protective of my baby girl and prayed and prayed and prayed that not only would she remain healthy but that at our next ultrasound she would have a perfect leg and foot.

God never disappoints.

Addi Kate was far from shy this ultrasound and showed off her pretty legs...

And if that isn't the most PERFECT right foot, I don't know what is!!!

We were also able to get a little grin out of our girl (look at those chubby cheeks)...

But this picture is by far my favorite to date...

She just looks like the sweetest little angel I've ever seen :)

Addison weighs approximately 1 pound and 4 ounces and her heart, kidneys, and brain look absolutely perfect.

I cried tears of joy today as we watched our little miracle baby dance around in my belly. She is definitely our Tiny Dancer...so bring on the dance lessons and ballet slippers!!
