Addie Pants

Adilenne Grace, the poor middle child, went nameless until about two weeks before delivery. I pushed for Charlotte, Violet, Olivia, Hazel... The list goes on. But, Derek knew better and found the name Adilenne, which allowed for the nickname Addie. As I look into her round, pink face, I am so glad that Derek kept pressing for the right name.

Miss Addie Pants was "Baby B" and enjoyed the most spacious accomodations in the middle of my tummy. She was an active gal, doing lots of flips and turns. Miss Addie, at no fault of her own, seemed to steal all of the nutrition at the expense of her siblings. She chunked to a massive birthweight of 4 pounds 4 ounces, earning her the nickname of Chunky Monkey.

At delivery, Addie gave us a scare. I could tell that the doctors and nurses were working more vigorously on her than Lila and Will. After a quick kiss from mom, they whisked her away to put her on the ventilator. She fought hard for us, though, and the ventilator was removed less than a day later.

Addie pants has been such a great joy over the past year. She is quite personable, making friends wherever she goes. She loves to smile, laugh, and play. She goes after what she wants, even if its the pacifier in her brother's mouth!
