In pre-op I was playing Words with Friends to calm my nerves. The Anesthesiologist came in and gave us both a thorough explanation of the Spinal block. This was more for David because he was having a test in Pharmacology two days later. Infact, being in the hospital with me was great practice for his test.
Liliana Dejavu! She reminded me so much of Liliana it was hard to see her as a different baby. It felt like we had Liliana all over again. Of course I don't feel that way anymore.
Yes you read the scale right Addelyn was a whooping 9 pounds! No wonder why I was so miserable towards the end she is huge! 9lbs 1oz 21 inches also keep in mind that she was born one week early.
I made everyone promise me that I had to be around when Liliana met her sister for the first time. Liliana has been so sweet with her and actually cries when I take her away from Lili's arms or say she can't hold her right then. They are only 2 1/2 years apart and hopefully will be best friends growing up. I didn't grow up with a sister so this is exciting for me.
My brother Derek and his wonderful family came out to welcome Addelyn. It was nice to have them here and meant so much to me that they came. They kept Liliana occupied while David and I stayed at the Hospital.
My dad also came out with my mother. He left with the Fernandez's and my mom flew home yesterday. I miss her already! It was such a tender mercy to have her here with us last week. Today we are expecting my father and mother-in-law. We are just as excited and blessed to have them come this week!
Addelyn's name was inspired by one of the customer service reps at Phil and Teds. Only she spelled it Adeline. I fell in love with the name and David also liked it, but was giving me a hard time until the night before she was born. I said since I was able to pick the name he could pick the spelling (hence came Addelyn). Helen is after David's grandmother. We adore me-ma and are happy to have a daughter carrying her name.
Isn't she GORGEOUS!?
