Memories to cherish forever...

I'd better backtrack a little and post some of my favorite photos from the past 3 weeks. Grammie and Grandma flew in the morning after she was born and Grandma Karla stayed 5 days and Grammie stayed 2 weeks. It was really great having them both here! I wasn't too sure about having all the company at the same time but I wouldn't change it for the world. Every day, we spent several hours in the nursery visiting and staring at Abby. I'm not sure if I will ever get that much quality time with either of them again now that we'll have a little distraction from here on out...ha ha

Here are some pics from our time in the hospital...

Abby meets Grammie for the first time!


Abby meets Grandma for the first time!


Daddy's first diaper change:


Daddy loves his little girl!


When we brought Abby home, the dogs were VERY curious! Moses really wanted to get in there and give her a good sniff. Samson gave her a quick sniff but that was about it. Moses still loves to see what she's up to when he's around but Samson will just lie quietly nearby. Charlie the cat has been a dream and he pretty much just minds his own business. I was worried about him as he's very territorial but he loves to hang out with us whenever we are upstairs in the nursery. Thankfully, he's not tried once to jump in the crib.

Going home!

On Friday, April 30, Abby got to meet her future boyfriend, Cooper. She was happy with her full tummy and didn't even open her eyes. I guess they'll have to hang out again when she's actually awake!



We gave Abby her first bath on May 1st. She loved getting her hair washed (just like her Mommy & Daddy!)




Abby had her first visit to the Pediatrician on Mon, May 3rd. She weighed 6lbs 2oz (left the hospital at 6lbs 3oz). The doctor felt she probably dipped down into the high 5's after going home and was now on her way up since my milk was finally in and she was eating well. We brought her in on Fri, May 7th and she weighed 6lb 8oz so was finally growing!




My first Mother's Day was a special day! My mom made a nice breakfast and we even had a bottle of champagne in the fridge (from I don't know when! ha ha) so we each had a mimosa...yum!





We've made a lot of great memories to cherish forever and are looking forward to many more!
