Well, it's Friday night, around 11:00, and the night is still young for Addison. She has eaten about 4 times in the past two hours, and she is WIDE AWAKE, and very active! This is somewhat of a new thing of hers, so we have that going for us. Just the beginning of many new things, I'm sure. I started back at work this week being out of town for three days, and I have to admit that it was a bit more difficult than I thought, but I think we can make it work. Leaving Rach and Addison here was a challenge to say the least.
We crossed the cardiologist off our list this week, and Addison came through with a clean bill of health for the most part. There is a muscle bundle in her heart that is enlarged and looks a bit like a speed bump, but the doctor thinks that it will, most likely, stretch out as her heart grows and shouldn't be a problem at all. So, Addison and I spent about 20 solid minutes on the treadmill tonight just to get that whole process rolling, and she's looking strong.
Grammy Taylor left town on Thursday morning, and we took a big blow with that. She had been helping with feedings in the middle of the night and cooking and cleaning and running the house while she was here. So, Rach and I are trying to find our groove again without our own personal servant tending to our every need. Addison misses her already. Luckily, Grans Jumper and crew will be visiting next weekend, and we will be putting them to work (I'll be expecting a pedicure and a massage when y'all get into town by the way.)
Addison made her debut at ERgent Care today to meet the people that work with Rach. We have a few volunteers for baby sitting gigs down the road, so that's nice, and Addison was very impressed with the shrine that was built and dedicated to her in the office. They warned us not to leave Addison alone in the office with any of them because she might disappear, so we'll be keeping a close eye on those ladies.
Other than that, Addison keeps eating, sleeping, breathing and pooping, so I guess that means she's going to make it. If she's anything like her mother, I'm sure she will be building algorithms to help determine the purpose of oxygen by this time next year, so I'm certainly not worried. We are planning a family picture with the three of us this weekend, so stay tuned for those.
