Okay, so I am guy and just realized (with some prompting from Jami’s aunt Debbie and Grandma Murray) that I forgot to put Addison’s stats up. I really did intend to, twice actually. :)
Born: October 5th, 2009 (same Birthday as her aunt Alisha who is here visiting/watching the kids.
Time: 7:07 PM.
Weight: 8 pounds 10 ounces. Matt and Brin were both about 9 pounds.
Length: 20.5 inches. Matt was 21 inches and Brinley was 23 inches.
Head Circumference: 14 inches.
Very little hair, kind of a light brown peach fuzz.
She has Brinley’s feet although not quite as long.
She has Matt's bum shape.
Round face with chubby cheeks and a cute little double chin.
Addison is our smallest baby so far, but supposedly still a bigger baby according to the nurses.
Dad's Denver Omelet and overpriced hot coco. 
Addison's feet are like Brinley's. Brinley had really long feet with a small, bony heel and always did this little toe spread thing with the little toe curled.
The picture below is of Brinley when she was just a few weeks old and shows how big her feet were. 4.5 years later, Brinley's feet are still are quite big.
The kids and "Grammy" coming to see "Baby Addi" again, the morning after her birth. Again, Matt wanted me to "Get out" of there and come out by him with baby Addi.
Pictures of the beautiful Rocky Mountains on Addison's first full day of life (looking from the east toward the west of course) .
Here are a few bits of into and things going on that Addison may be interested in when she is older and looks back on this.
Cheapest Gas around: $2.29
Milk at Wal-Mart: $1.78
Concerns in the world: Swine flu (the reasons Brin and Matt can’t see Mom and hold Addi), the national economic recession, the stock market and real estate crashes, unemployment rising, major bank failures and government bailouts etc.
U.S. President: Barack Oboma who is the first African American President – Elected as the 44th President on November 2009.
Weather: Morning of induction was bright and sunny but changed to rainy and cloudy throughout day. Next day (first full day of life) was bright and beautiful with snow capped mountains to the west.
Mom’s cravings during pregnancy: ADVENTURE! She has been wanting to go hike the Subway in Zions National Park among other adventurous things that pregnant woman really shouldn’t do. Sandwiches and chocolate, but those are both constant cravings regardless of pregnancy.
Parents Employment: Mom working about 1 day a week doing pediatric home care, taking care of children on Vents and Trachs. Dad is working from home office, putting together multifamily real estate deals, brokering bank foreclosures in Utah and managing our income properties in Utah and Arizona.
Interesting Facts: Addison is the first baby to be born outside of Utah out of our little immediate family, Brian or Jami and their siblings, ALL of Addison’s Aunts and Uncles and cousins on both sides, ALL of Addison’s Grandparents and great grandparents on both sides, all her great, great grandparents and about anyone else I can think of. :)
Current Family Pets: Brinley and Matt each have a hermit crab. Two tarantulas, 7 snakes (we are selling some and all of which are in Dad’s home office. Six of them are 7-10 feet in length) and about 18 rabbits in cages in the back yard (snake food).
Prophet of LDS Church: President Thomas S. Monson with Henry B. Eyring and Dieter F. Uchtdorf as his counselors.

Baked potato chips
Side chef salad with county French dressing
Cranberry Juice and Sprite
Chocolate Cake (highly recommended by many)
Seasonal Fruit plate
Dads Lunch
Baked Salmon
Side Caesar Salad
Vanilla Milk Shake (also overpriced for how small it was and 1/3rd of it went to Matt and Brin)

Congratulations! She is a beautiful healthy baby! And I think she looks more like Brinley. Good luck these next few days (they are the most fun, right?).
Congratulations! I'm so excited for your cute little family. I hope I get to see Addi soon.
Interesting facts. Those will be fun to look back on. Can't wait to see Addi, and all of you, and oh ya, I forgot you had snakes, I call I'm not sleeping in the office :)
