Addy says:
- Sitting in the waiting room at pediatrician office & there's a lady across the room wearing jeans with holes in them. Not many people there, so it was pretty quiet until.... Addison announces loudly "Look mama, her pants are broken" while pointing at the lady across the room!
- Blake & I were talking & he said I could probably go to a website for more info. Addy speaks up & says "I want to go too!"
- I told Addy that I hope she has a good day at school. She told me she hopes I have a good day at the store!
- Blake said something to Addy & ended the sentence with 'dear'. Addy said 'I am not a deer'!
- I picked Addy up from school & we were driving home. She told me I was a good driver!
- Blake kept going outside one night to see the 'super' full moon & addy told him to relax it'll come out soon!
- Addy told me she wants a violin & washboard for her birthday
- Blake told Addy it was time for her to get a job. She said "no, it's t-shirt time"!
- Addy got a Band in a Box for birthday. She was playing some music & asked me where her fans were!
- Addy saw the app for Twitter & insisted on playing the 'new' birds game!
- I told Addy we were having Mexican chicken for dinner. She said she didn't want Mexican chicken, just the Doritos!
- While visiting my dad the girls & I sleep together. One morning we woke up & Alyssa reached over to get Addison's Elmo doll. Addison quickly grabbed Elmo & told Alyssa 'No baby Alyssa, you should have brought your own Elmo'!
- Addy sat next to me with her vtech laptop & told me she was ordering pizza as she typed away!
- Addy got a fishing puzzle with ocean animals. She asked me what one of the animals was & I didn't know, so she asked Blake. Of course, he knew what it was & I told Addy that he sure knows his ocean animals. Now she says "Dada, you sure do know your ocean animals"!
- Addys first time at mass. As the priest & servers were walking to the alter she said 'look mama, a choo choo train'! She said the same thing when after mass when they were walking from the alter. I guess she thinks anytime people are walking in a line it's a train! We do this game at home!
- At church an elderly man tickled addy & she loudly said 'that silly old man tickled me'! She also kept asking where Jesus was!
- Addy woke up one night and was whimpering. I asked her what was wrong and she told me that she had a bad story!
I can only remember bits and pieces about the day Addison was born. The labor and delivery part is vivid, but after that it gets blurry. Maybe because it was such a whirlwind with her being rushed to the NICU and I didn't fully grasp the seriousness until 6 days later when she was discharged. I asked our head NICU nurse, Joan, about Addison's footprints and she walked around the corner to the nurse's station to ask someone else. I wish I would've never heard another NICU nurse say 'oh, we didn't get footprints on her...she was dead when she came in here'. Joan immediately looked my way hoping I didn't hear those words, but it was too late. She glared back at the other nurse and shook her head as if to say 'No, No, No'. I was frozen. I was confused. I was devastated. Joan came over to me right away and said 'come on honey, let's get that baby girl's footprints right now'. She tried her best to make up for what I had heard. I never told anyone else about this other than Blake. It was just too much... I still think about it and it still breaks my heart. Thank goodness we have a beautiful, smart, funny little FOUR year old!
