She's here!

Well, I'm definitely not as timely as Tom in the posting of our new addition. (He apparently posted the arrival on facebook just minutes after her birth, and his Dad, who just happened to be up at the forbidden hour of 4:00 (a.m. not p.m. however) was the first to get the news). Still, timely or not, we're both excited to welcome our baby girl.

Abigail Bethani was born at 4:08 am on Friday, Sept. 11. We went in the day before at around 10:30 am, so it was a little different experience than the last two (which total time before delivery was under an hour), and I've decided I'm not the most patient person. Still, we're so glad she's here. She wasn't breaking any scales at 6 lbs. 9 oz., but she is so sweet. She has bright, wide eyes, tiny ears, and a really cute dimple on her left cheek. She is still getting the hang of how to eat and had to be on lights for jaundice for a few days. With all of that she has been one sleepy baby.

Thurday my Dad had meetings in Provo and Roosevelt, so he decided to drop by in between. We decided to go get checked and after my Mom found out we were going to the hospital she came up as fast as she could. She was a life saver as the very next day and morning Abigail was born was Emma's first day of kindergarten. I was so glad that Grandma was the one to be able to take her on her first day, if I had to miss it. She said she took lots of pictures, but I still need to get them off her camera after which I'll add them to the post.
After Abby was born, my Mom stayed for an entire week. It was the biggest help and I don't know how I would have survived without her.





The kids enjoyed their Grandma time too... lots of choc. milk along with all the other delicious food she made for us.
