Teacup Pig in a Blanket
My beautiful little girl, so fresh and clean and ready for church this morning!

Watermelon Sugar
The whole family was on the couch and involved in Addison’s first early-morning bottle today.

Crosswords & Coffee
Alright, I’m exhausted from today, and I’m blogging a little later than usual, so I’m keeping this short and sweet… Emmie had a really good drop-off at school, and a really good day, and then Grammy picked her up early around 3pm, to go back to her house with her.
…
Sweep & Swiffer
I love how much Emerson loves Addison, and always has to make sure to hug and love and kiss her first thing in the mornings before school. It’s oh so very precious.
…
Tummy Time & Popsicle Cheers
So last night, something was wrong with my website and it would let me upload any new photos, or write a new post. So I’ll quickly start with Wednesday’s post first, and then start up a second post tonight for today. (I just don’t like combining multiple days into one post, when I can help it…)
Look at these sweet sisters, holding hands together first thing in the morning!
…
Boots & Bathrobes
My girl is just always such a ham for these morning photos, and I love seeing all the things she chooses to take with her in the car each day.

Addison’s Birth Story
Today is May 24, 2021, which was my actual due date! So on this day, I wanted to share Addison’s birth story.
Addison Laurel Pullen was born at 1:29pm, on May 5, 2021. In contrast to Emerson’s drama-filled arrival, Addison’s was so smooth, quick and easy! (If you’d like to read Emerson’s long-winded, three-part birth story, click here, here and here.) Also, the beginning of Addison’s birth story is in a post when we first announced I was pregnant, and then I blogged throughout my entire pregnancy, so this post is really just from the day of her birth and the couple of days after that…
So, since I had a previous C-section with Emerson (and had a uterine fibroid removed at that time) and the fact that I had gestational diabetes, my doctor scheduled my C-section for 37 weeks pregnant, to avoid some of the higher risks towards the end of pregnancy. So for a couple of months ahead of time, we knew the exact date and approximate time that Addison would arrive.
The morning of my scheduled surgery, I took Emerson to school, returned home to shower, and then Jeff and I packed up and drove to the hospital! I wasn’t allowed to eat past midnight the night before, which really stunk because I was starving, as I didn’t even report until 10am, and surgery was scheduled for 12:30pm. I really wished I would have been the first of the day at 7:30, but oh well…

Nutella & Bananas
Emmie woke up just as early as always, but cuddled with me and Addison quietly on the couch for a while, until it was time for her to get dressed for church. Before her and Daddy headed out though, she just had to hold Baby Addie for a few minutes.
…
Cousin Crew (Triplets Meet Addison)
Emerson and I shared a bagel for breakfast this morning, bright and early, while we let Daddy sleep in a little, since he took the longer/later shift overnight with Addison.

Bookworm
(Post for Thursday, 5/20, since I fell asleep on the couch at like, 8pm .)
Sweet, sleepy baby sister, early in the morning.
…
Sponge Bath & Iced Latte
Emmie always love seeing and loving on baby sister first thing when we all wake up in the mornings, and she’s just so dang sweet about it!
…
Grandmothers
My beautiful little girl, looking adorable in a new outfit from Nana, with a cute hairstyle she specifically asked me for. I didn’t realize until like an hour later when I was looking at the photos, that she was holding her shirt up and exposing her little tummy, haha 🙂
…
Lemon Baby & Lemon Chicken
When I first walked into Emerson’s room this morning, I was carrying Addison. She was immediately like, “Are you holding baby sister? Can I hold her, please?” So right away we went into the living room and she held her and loved her and was so sweet.
…
Sleepy Sunday
It was cool this morning, in the 50’s, and this long sleeve & pants Big Sister outfit was perfect for Emmie to wear to church this morning. She asked if Addison had a matching outfit, and when I told her no (since we bought this before we even knew if Baby was a boy or a girl), she suggested we go to the store and find her something to match, and that she would help me out.
…
Snowballs & Strolling
Jeff and I did our shifts with Addison last night, and then he let me go back to sleep for another hour this morning from 7-8am. When I woke up again, I made us all egg sammies for breakfast, and someone stole the last few sips of my iced coffee 😉
…
Weight Check
Jeff and I took shifts on baby duty last night, with me sleeping first and taking the super early feeding at 3:30am. Addison didn’t want to sleep too much after that, so I was awake most of the morning until Emmie woke up around 6:30, we got her ready for school, and then I finally napped a little bit from about 7:30-8:30.

Ballet Class Teacher
I have loved watching Emerson turn into the best, most loving big sister this last week. She wanted to hold Baby Addie for a minute before running out the door for school, and was so sweet about it.
…
Banana Pudding
Since I can’t drive for a while post-C-Section, Jeff is doing all of the school drop-off’s and pick-up’s. For whatever reason, Emerson has always had tougher drop-off’s with daddy, being much more clingy to him. He’s not able to get photos easily (and she’s usually upset already by the time they get there), so I took them at home today before they left, and she was adorable!
