Last picture as a family of 4 (including magnum). This picture was taken at 4:30am. We had to be at the hospital by 5am. And yes, Gwen was awake because of a crazy thunder and lightening storm that was going on throughout the night. We've lived here for 2 1/2 years and have never experienced that before. I know wait until we get to Iowa... we'll really see some action. Hopefully Gwen and Addison will get use to them and sleep right through.

One last picture of mommy with Addison in her belly. It took Jayson and I a good 10 min to figure out the gown. There were so many buttons to snap and such. We really looked like idiots.

Meeting Addison for the first time. The surgery went really well compared to my experience with Gwen. The anethesiologist did a great job. I had no shooting pain down my right side. I did however get sick while strapped to the table. Apparently, when my blood pressure would drop I would start vomiting everywhere. It was really quite gross.

Picture with mommy and daddy. Jayson cried as soon as he saw her and heard her cry. He does have a sensitive side to him!! I mean really look at how happy he looks in this picture.

Beautiful baby girl all cleaned up and ready to meet her big sister.

Getting her footprints done.

Meeting Gwen for the first time. I unfortunately didnt' get to experience this moment. They had me in recovery for an hour and a half. But Jayson said she was sooo excited.

Look at that expression on her face. One happy big sister.

Helping daddy give Addison her mink (that's what Gwen calls it). Addison was pretty hungry at this point and mommy was still not back in the room.

Mommy finally arrives. Gwen was pretty nervous when she saw me get wheeled into the room. She wasn't ready for that. She got really nervous sitting next to me. She sat long enough to get a picture and then wanted right down.

Grandpa Gary and Grandma Peggy came to visit and help mommy and daddy watch Gwen while we were at the hospital. They were exhausted by the time we came home. Keeping up with a toddler is pretty tough!

Mommy and Addison ready to go home.

The wonderful Dr. Barnes who delivered Addison.

Addison loves to be swaddled but with one arm out.
