So I am starting this blog basically so I can show off my baby to the family but I don't really know what I am doing so I think this post will contain a bunch of pictures because I like pictures and it will get me started on when Addison was born.

Addison Darla Hurst was born on October 27, 2013 weighing 8 pounds 15 ounces and about 20 inches long (it changed every time she got measured) Addi looked a little too purple for the nurses taste after only about an hour of life so they took her from me put her in the nursery and hooked her up to oxygen and monitors so some of her first accessories were wires.

 Then after trying to make her breath and some failed attempts they gave her this sweet ride in the ambulance to go to Twin Falls. On the way there she threw up and no longer needed oxygen. What an expensive way to get car sick.

Those mean doctors (alright they weren't that mean) made her spend three days in the NICU with monitors and IVs which made it incredibly hard to hold her but don't you worry there wasn't a thing in this world that was going to stop me from holding her. It was a rough three days but it gave me a greater understanding for those parents that have their babies in the NICU for much longer. What strong, faithful and courageous people they must be.

She got to come home on October 30 which is her dad's birthday. I think it was the best birthday present he ever had.
