Introducing Addelyn Nicole Bendixsen

We are so happy to announce that Addelyn was born on Tuesday, June 9, 2009. She was 8 lbs 3 oz and 21 1/2 inches long! She has so much hair and we love her so much! I was induced on Tuesday morning at about 2:30 in the afternoon. They broke my water at 5:30, I took a long nap, woke up and was dilated to a 10! She was ready to come out. After an hour of pushing the doctor told me to reach down and grab her and she was in my arms seconds later. I got to hold her for about an hour before they cleaned her up. It was an incredible experience and I would do it again in a heartbeat.


















We were in the hospital until Thursday at noon when we got to bring her home! She is such a good baby and has been so cute! She gets cuter and cuter everyday. I feel like she has grown a ton since we brought her home!









It is so fun to dress her up! I am surprised at how alert she is for a new baby. I feel like she isn't really a newborn anymore. She has changed so much! We have taken so many pictures of her. She has so many facial expressions already! We haven't been able to catch too many of them on camera because she doesn't like to show off for it very much.








We love her so much and are so excited for this new addition to our family. It will be fun to watch her grow and she her little personality develop.
