August John Meyer (aka Gus) was born September 19th, 2011. He arrived at 11:52 AM weighing in at 8 lbs. 13 oz. and 21 inches long! He came very quickly. I was sent to the hospital on Friday night because my blood pressure was up. I was sent home to collect my pee for 24 hours (I did that a lot for this pregnancy). I was called by the doctor on Sunday and was told that I have developed pre-eclampsia again and they were going to induce me on Monday morning at 7. We left Addison at my mom's on Sunday night for a sleep over at grandma's house! We arrived at the hospital at 7 and all preparations were started. They broke my water at 8:10, by 10:15 I had my epidural (love that guy!), and by 11:52, he was here!
Gus has been in the world for a week now and home for 4 days. He is doing great!!! The first night was rough but since then, it has been wonderful! Addison is always saying how much she loves Gus and she is so sweet with him. She willingly gives up her pacifiers (only one) but she is still willing to give them up. We don't use her pacis with him but the fact that she is willing to give them up is so cute!!!
Here are some Addison updates.
- She calls play dough "dough dough"
- Whenever we pass construction equipment, she says "look mom a bullbozer" Carter will correct her when she is wrong but everything is a bullbozer!
- I think she is finally getting the hang of pooping in the potty.
- I love driving in the car and listening to her sing all of her princess songs. Her little voice is so adorable.
- Like any typical girl, she does not stop talking!
- She loves to paint with watercolors.
