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.

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.
