Addalee Turns 2

2 years ago on this day, our hearts were filled with such hope and our tummies with lots of butterflies. After a very difficult 36 weeks of pregnancy (emotionally and physically), we were being induced on a hot and sunny Monday morning. We couldn't wait to meet this girl we'd fallen for head over heels and prayed for so diligently. At 8:34 pm, with a tiny little cry, she was here. She was teeny tiny and perfect at 5lbs 5oz and 19.5 inches long (much smaller than her big sister Caroline at 6lbs 11oz and 21 inches long).

"Are you my Momma?"


Sweet little thing


She was like a soothing balm to our broken hearts. She has brought a healing into our lives that we are thankful for each day. It has never been her job to fix our brokenness of missing Caroline. We will always miss her. But we are thrilled to experience the joy Caroline's little sister brings into our lives.

  3. I know I'm watching my own 18-month old change before my eyes, but it still doesn't seize to amaze me just how much these babies change in such a short time.

  6. Your sweet little angel has grown so much. It's really amazing to see our children evolved; how everything has changed from day 1. Time runs so fast. She's growing beautifully. Best regards to your family. Best regards from an Ultrasound Technician
