Welcome to the world Abigail!

Abigail Kathryn entered the world on Friday, October 16th! We came home on Monday afternoon and are doing well. Emily has wanted to see Abigail sleeping and wanted to help give her a bath today and brings her toys all the time. She has been sweet. The first couple of days home it took me, my mom, and Joe to take care of 2 children! We were sad when Joe headed off to work today. Here are a few pictures of our new sweet baby girl.

The night before we headed to the hospital:

Going home. We were ready to go at 8:30 Monday morning thinking the pediatrician was coming by before office hours . . . but she didn't come by until lunch time. But it did give us a few more hours to rest in our cocoon of a hospital room before the reality of taking care of 2 children settled in at home:
When the pediatrician did check Abigail out, she proceeded to blow poop across the room while her diaper was off! She did it twice to the doctor! The doctor was quick though and managed to dodge being hit. It was pretty funny. We were cleaning it off of the floor and the side of the hospital bed. We know how to leave a room in style : ) I hope they used a lot of cleaning solution on that room when we left.

We got home at 3:00 on Monday:



Emily loves checking Abigail out while she is sleeping. We do have to keep an eye on her because she keeps trying to put stuffed animals in her bed to let her sleep with:
We managed to do a photo shoot this morning for an announcement picture. Here are a few of them:Emily thought Abigail's head falling to the side was really funny:

Sweet sisters. My prayer is that they will be the best of friends. I have a wonderful relationship with my sister and I want the same for Emily and Abigail. Emily named her sister so they already have a special bond.

The deleted comment was me. I spelled something wrong and had to fix it.

Love the poop story! The last picture of your girls is adorable!

I always thought I wanted one of each (boy/girl). But, having two the same as been a wonderful experience. Just wish I had the stamina to be the mother of 5 boys.

Love the pictures! I love the poop story. Sounds like diaper changes could be an adventure.

So sweet! I love the pic of Emily giggling while she is holding Abigail. That should be your announcement pic. I had a few tears on the sister comment.
