Our Growing Girl

Last week we took Abigail to her 2 week check-up! Here are her stats:

Weight: 7lbs

Height: 20.5"

Head: 35cm

Abby is such a good baby! I know you're not supposed to compare your kids, but seriously she's much more laid back than Connor ever was. We always said Connor was a good baby too, but now we can see the difference. Connor could cry non-stop until we gave into his demands and he got his way, but Abby will cry for less than 5 minutes and give up and usually just go to sleep. And if she doesn't give up then we know she's really just that hungry! She's also been giving me longer sleep periods at night, which has been aMAZing!! We already can't imagine our family without her!

More Baby Abby!

Daddy's little girl!

On our way home from the hospital!
Connor meeting his baby sister for the first time! He couldn't wait to hold her and he didn't want to put her down. He's already a great big brother!
After only one night in the hospital we are very happy to be back at home! We've been so lucky to have our family and friends here to help us out with everything that comes with having a baby. We couldn't have done it without all the help! Thank you! Abigail made it here 15 days early and we're so glad (especially me)! I labored at home Tuesday evening and went into the hospital at 2:45am Wednesday morning with contractions 5 minutes apart. By about 7ish I was already dilated 7-8 cm and just had to wait for the doctor to get there to break my water and start pushing. Once he arrived around 8 and broke my water things moved very quickly and after about 18 pushes Abigail was here (9:18am)! She's been a great eater as well as a great sleeper, which makes mommy and daddy very happy...we are definitely in LOVE!

Abigail is here!!!!!!!

Weighing in at 6lb 9oz. Measuring 20 inches in length. With lots of strawberry blonde hair. It's our Abby girl.

Happy Halloween!

This year Mac carved the pumpkins without any help from me, not that he needed my help because they turned out better than last year!
Connor and Mac dressed alike as Air Force pilots this year. One of Connor's favorite things is airplanes. This was his first year going trick or treating around the neighborhood and we couldn't have asked for nicer weather. Connor loved the whole notion of getting free candy, but he equally enjoyed helping us answer the door for all the trick or treaters who came to our house! I don't think the problem will be how to hide the candy from Connor, but more importantly how to hide the candy from myself!
