Addy is here!

Addyson Sylvia Foster was born on Monday October 24th at 7:42 am. She weighed 7 lbs 5 oz and was 20.5 in long. We got to the hospital at 5:30 am and this was the last "before" picture I got of Lisa before they got her ready and wheeled her off for surgery. The C-section and delivery couldn't have gone any better. This is Lisa meeting Addy for the first time right after her birth.


After the RTs got Addy all cleaned up we took a few pictures and then I left with Addy to the nursery while the doctors spent the next hour closing Lisa back up. They did just a great job. Usually I am still in the nursery with our babies when Lisa gets wheeled back to the room but I actually beat her there and had Addy all to myself before she arrived. When the kids came to visit I was in the nursery for Addy's first bath. Hayden was so excited to see Addy.

The kids just adore her. They were all so excited to hold their new baby sister. Hayden cracked us up. We asked him if he wanted to hold Addy and he promptly blurted out, "No". Asked if he wanted to give her a kiss and he goes, "No". I held both Addy and Hayden a few minutes later and asked him again if he wanted to give her a kiss and he didn't say no but put his cheek down by Addy's and let them touch expecting her to give him a kiss. Just a cute kid!
The proud Momma with all 5 of her beautiful kids! All the nurses and doctors would ask if she was our 1st. We would laugh and then tell them that she was our 5th. It is fun to watch their facial expressions when we say that. Mckenna was just gleaming! She is the best helper in the world. So excited to babysit!
Halle was glowing too. They keep asking when Lisa and I will bring her home from the Hospital so they can hold her all they want. When Addyson was born my first impression was that Addy looked most like Halle. Lisa thought the same thing. She is definitely one of ours!
Parker was so fascinated by how little she is. He was so excited to tell his friends and teacher that his new sister was here!
The proud Daddy. She is so cute I can't stop talking about her. All our kids are. So blessed and grateful to have 5 beautiful children.
So cute!
We're amazed at how much awake time she has with us. We love her chubby cheeks! We love our little Addyson!
