Addison Kate Porter was born at 9:39 pm, on Friday, September 25. I went in for a routine check-up Thursday afternoon and my blood pressure was 150/82. My doctor gave us the option of being induced the following day, or on Sunday. So we chose Friday. I went in to the hospital at 10 am. After multiple times trying to start an IV it was successful and the pitocin was started around noon. Labor was much longer than anticipated. Thank heavens for epidurals!!! My mom and Paul and Travis' parents waited outside the room for two hours before she arrived. Addison is a tiny girl. She was born at 6 pounds 2 ounces and 18.5 inches. When we left the hospital she was under 6 pounds and her newborn outfits are huge on her!
Today was her first doctor's appointment. Her weight is almost back to birth weight. She is in the 7th percentile for weight and 30th for head circumference and length. We love our adorable little girl.
