Well, for those of you who had the impression that Addison is a great sleeper, I've been up with her all night. I'd like to think that it's a fluke, but she is a baby after all. Hopefully, she doesn't have her nights and days mixed up and we can remedy this quickly, as in right now. Rachel's parents are leaving today, but my family is coming into town on Thursday, so we will still have a full house.
On Thursday, we have a doctor's appointment at 11:30. It's the first checkup since we've been out of the hospital, so we are interested to see how it pans out. Hopefully, we can get the rest of the results from the chromosome testing and find out which type of DS Addison has. This is somewhat significant because it can help us figure out what we will be dealing with in the future, and if other people in our family line will have to deal with this situation down the road.
Addison is looking more and more like a little person each day. I know it's only been two weeks, but she's growing like a weed, and we're just trying to keep up. If anyone has any ideas on how to produce more milk, we are happy to hear from you. Anything short of purchasing our own pet cow is an acceptable piece of information. This kid eats like there is no tomorrow. On that note, check out the picture. She's a cute baby, but you should see the tail end of this face!!!

Thanks for another update! I have had many people requesting more photos. Hope you all had a great "sleepful" night! Love, the doting gparents, d and J.
Congratulations to you for this beautiful daughter. We've been praying for you and REALLY enjoy this blog and the updates. Sounds like you are in a great area for helping Addison (specialists, support groups) and you are already proactive. I think this site is a support group for Down's parents in Tulsa area: http://www.dsat.org/.
Many blessings to you,
Vicki and Larry Northern
