Addie at Home

Considering the lack of sleep, the week has gone by considerably fast with a newborn and toddler! Addie has adjusted well to life at home and Kai is getting used to the idea of having a baby in the house. He is so proud of Addie's yellow letters in his room and is sensitive when she cries really hard or gets a shot from the doc.
Addie has high bilirubin which somewhat contains her to the bili-lights table until the level recedes (prayerfully tomorrow).
This is Addie in her "tanning bed." She has to wear the little tanning goggles to protect her eyes! She likes it under the lights most of the time......mainly because she hates to be cold and it is alway warm in there! However, she would prefer to be swaddled and cuddled over any other circumstance.
Kai thinks the bili-lights are pretty cool. We frequently find him peeking into the pakn'play to check on his baby sister, especially when she's screaming.
Here's just a sweet pic while she has her eyes open and alert. We have resorted to the pacifier somewhat during her "not so good" feeding times. She definitely has VERY healthy lungs and will let you know she does NOT like to be cold (diaper changings especially) or is still hungry. We have also nicknamed her "our little siren!"
Just another cute gaze......the velcro stickers on the sides of her eyes keep her tanning goggles on her face. It's a pain though, she tends to stick to everything! Here's a quick clip of some of the "siren" we normally hear:
