Day Seven - October 3, 2008

A picture from yesterday....

Bud and Katy Beth Worthy with Adeline

HAPPY ONE WEEK BIRTHDAY ADELINE!

Jason and I cannot believe that today is Adeline's original due date.  We can't believe that a week ago we were at the hospital having Adeline.  It seems like so much longer.  We are truly enjoying our time with Adeline.  We can't believe the amount of love that you can have for your child.  Also, the way that the love in your marriage changes with the addition of a child.  Jason and I have loved, held, kissed, bathed, changed, fed, snuggled, and watched our beautiful little girl.  We feel so blessed and thankful.  We look forward to the next week with Adeline and the next and the next....  What a wonderfully, perfect gift - Adeline Jane Clark.

Today we had our follow up appointment with the lactation consultant.  Adeline is doing better on her jaundice - just keep her soaking up those rays!  She weighed 7 lbs. 13 oz.  Is it even possible to gain that much in one day?  

Our friends Stephen and Marie Kersey were induced today.  So, their little girl and Adeline will be exactly one week apart.  

Welcome Emma Hayes Kersey!   10.03.2008 - 7 lbs. 14 oz. - 20.5 in. 

We look forward to lots of tailgating and fun with our little girls.

Tonight Adeline had lots of visitors.  Adrienne, Holly, and Angelika (from Auburn High School) came to visit.  Angelika ended up helping Meredith with integration by parts while Holly held the baby.  Adrienne stopped by and brought a Poppyseed Chicken Casserole (very good!).  Later on, Beth, Bud, Katy Beth, and JR brought Honeybaked Ham for dinner.  Jason and I actually got to eat together (at the same time!).  Dinner was wonderful and so was the company.  We have such amazing friends.  We appreciate and love you all so much!
