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!

She is beautiful! Congratulations! It looks like Rachel is an old pro. I think Jake is still getting used to his sister..a year later.
