Meet Baby Addison

The newest addition to the Pearce family made her appearance Tuesday morning a little before 3 am. She was 2 weeks early and weighed in at 7lb 2oz and measured 20 1/2" long.
We were at Marty's parents house in Bahama for a Labor Day dinner (literally) when my water broke. I had played this scene in my mind many times before but remained much calmer than I had imagined I would. We dropped Hudson off at our house with my mom and got to the hospital around 8:00. At 11:00 I still wasn't contracting so they started pitocen. Around 1:45 is when things really started picking up. I asked for my epidural but the anesthesiologist was busy with another patient so unknowing to me, I got my epidural at 10 cm! I pushed for about 30 minutes and out she came!!
We're hoping to go home today and to try to find a new normal. Hudson has decided to completely ignore the fact that she is here. He's acknowledged her maybe 2 times. Last night when he came to visit me, I was holding Addison and he pushed my leg and told me.."Mommy, go rock your baby." Fun times are ahead..... :)

On the phone with Anna letting her know I was in labor. Don't you love the socks?

Mommy...meet Addison!

I love my girl!
