Just us girls!

Here is a picture Jamie took of the 3 of us today. Rachel is such a sweet big sister and loves on Abigail all of the time. I love when Rachel says to me as I hold Abigail "Mommy, you want 2 girls?" This means, do you want to have me on your lap too?

And here is one of Abigail on Friday. She is having a rough time with baby acne and it seems to still be getting worse. Oh well, we think that she is still very cute!

My Two Girls!

- These are shirts that Rachel made for the two of them before Abigail was born. The green and pink blanket Abigail is on is the one that I made for her. I love how it turned out!

- I can't believe that Abigail is now 3 weeks old! Time is already going by fast!

Abigail has Arrived!

Ok, so 2 weeks later I am getting around to posting.

8lbs 5oz

19 inches

Born April 14th

Things are going great. We had a rough start with Abigail having respiratory distress and being in special care of pretty much the duration of our stay at the hospital. She then got jaundice, but we were released on the 17th after 18 hours of phototherapy. Well, a few days had passed and she was hospitalized for jaundice again, so she and I spent the night in the hospital.

I'll tell you, I just can't seem to have a normal delivery! Both Rachel and Abigail were only with us for a short time after birth and then were in special care. The good thing is that now both girls are healthy! Well, they are still watching Abigail for her jaundice, but hope that over the course of the next 2 weeks it should go away.

Rachel is loving being a big sister and has been doing great!!!

I am recovering from my c-section really well...better than the first one! I am now past the pain part of the recovery, so that is good! I actually go tomorrow for a follow-up with my OB and I anticipate that will go good!

A Week Has Gone By...

And just last night was the first time that I sat down to work on combining the squares for Abigail's blanket. Wow is my motivation running thin these days!

We have been loving the nicer weather! Rachel loves being outside and insists that when on a walk, we have to go to the park in our neighborhood! I know that our days as just the two of us are limited, but I am sure enjoying each and every one of them!

Abigail is no longer breech. Not that it makes a difference given that I will have a c-section. Less than 4 weeks to go!

Need to Crochet!

I am so close to completing Abigail's baby blanket. I made 42 squares and now I need to combine them. Then it will be done. Maybe this weekend I will buckle down and get it finished!

Can you believe it? I can't!

Only 5 more weeks to go until I get to meet my little Abigail!

Thanks Alison!

So I have been tagged. Lisa, Stephanie, Amanda and Nicole...You have been tagged! Michele and Shelley...you have been tagged again! (Once from Alison and now from me!)

The rules: Go to your photo storage area and select the 6th folder and then select the 6th photo. Post it!

So, the 6th folder only had 2 photos so here is the 2nd one. It is of Rachel helping Jamie in the basement sort through cords he had in a box. I can't remember exactly what they were looking for, but when I looked in from upstairs I thought that it was cute how involved she wanted to be! I love the mini-pigtails in this one. And I miss those cute little jeans on her! Date: 1/17/08

Now to be fair to the 6th photo I had to go 2 more folders down. Date: 1/27/08 Here is Rachel wrestling with her Build-A-Bear before bed. Look at her teeth! Now she has a mouth full! (Well, but still not all of them! She does not have her last 4 molars!)
