Addison Paula Ferrell

On February 23rd our beautiful daughter was born. We named her Addison Paula (after Ryan's mom). She was 8 lbs 8 oz and was 20 inches long. I was induced a few days before my due date and the delivery was relatively easy (as if labor could ever really be easy!). I hate getting my picture taken especially when I am pregnant but I thought I should at least document my belly on the day I delivered.
I took a picture of my 3 oldest the morning of her delivery day. This is the last time together as 3 sisters.
Addison was born with a little bit of dark hair (by far the least amount of hair of all our daughters) and was perfect in every way.
Peyton was excited to hold her for the first time. She has been a great help to me since the baby was born.
Here's Hailey holding her for the first time. Hailey loves holding the baby and asks if she can hold her all the time.
Lexi was a little sick when we had Addison so she hasn't had much time to hold her. But she was super excited to hold her at the hospital (it lasted about 1 minute before she wanted to do something else).
My mom was excited to hold another grandchild. This was her 3rd one born since August.
Here we are as a family of 6.
Things have been crazy, busy, and a bit overwhelming since Addison was born. Ryan has been out of town for work a lot and along with his calling in the bishopric it has left me to try to take care of everything by myself. Luckily I have lots of wonderful family members and friends who have tried to make my life easier any way they possibly can. I am so grateful for all of their help or I don't think I would be surviving right now (and that is not an exaggeration). I'm so grateful that Addison was born healthy and that the delivery went well. The Lord has truly blessed our family with another beautiful daughter.
