Mission Impossible

Melanie created a video of the family hanging out in the waiting room while they were waiting to hear of Abby's birth. She was born at 6:33pm, but I think that the family did not hear anything until after 7pm so you can imagine that they were trying to figure out what had happened. The video is posted on You Tube at the following URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEuYLIhFTwc.

Second Week

Abby is two weeks old today. Time is going by so fast! Jason went back to work this week but with all of the visitors, Kim and Abby have been kept busy.

Abby went to her two week visit to the doctor's on Thursday. Thank you Melanie for taking us to the doctor!! Abby had lost 9 ounces while we were at the hospital and on Thursday she had gained most of it back. She weighed 7 lbs and 9 ounces. Almost her birth weight!

Another quick update: Abby has lost all contact with her cord and officially now has a belly button. :)

Here is our new favorite picture of Abby.

Cute First Pictures

The hospital took some cute pictures while we were there and posted them on the web at http://www.our365.com/newbornportraits/babydetail.aspx?birthid=d6ea037d-818f-4dea-908c-9efbb8571250&babyid=38fada51-4329-426e-985d-518b648352eb.

One Week Old

It is hard to believe that Abby is already one week old. This week has been a great adventure.

We left the hospital on Thursday but the hospital pediatrition said that Abby may have a mild case of jaundice so we made a doctor's appointment for Saturday. At that appointment we learned that she was absolutely fine. She is in the 50th percentile for height, weight, and head size. She is just perfect!!! We are going to see the doctor again on Thursday for her first checkup.

Since Saturday we are all trying to get into a routine. We had help from Kim's mom, Judy, the first night Abby was home. We learned a lot from her that would have taken quite a bit of time to learn on our own. Thanks Nonna (Abby's nickname for Judy)!!

I'd also like to thank everyone who has stopped by to visit and to bring food!! We really appreciate you all!

Welcome Home

After two nights in the hospital, Abby was able to come home with us. Jason and I are learning to become parents... and it is really fun (and tiring)! We've had lots of visitors and we thank everyone for their well wishes!

Happy Birthday Abby!

Our beautiful daughter, Abigail Grace, was born on June 17, 2008 at 6:33 pm. She was 7 lbs and 11 onces and was 19.5 inches long.

We've posted more pictures hospital pics on the shutterfly account if you are interested in checking them out.

Full Term

This picture was taken on Friday when I officially became "Full Term" - 37 weeks pregnant. The doctor says that Abby is really happy in my tummy right now so we probably won't meet her for a few more weeks.
