Abbey – 3 Weeks

A few new photos of our sweet girl. We’ve gotten some hints that we hadn’t posted enough, so here you go.

Nanny is Here

Grady and Abbey’s Nanny (aka Jamie’s mom, Sherry) arrived this evening for a two week visit. We excited to have both Grandmas here for a few days.

By pure accident, she got here just in time for Holly’s baby shower. It was scheduled for June 24th, but somebody pre-empted that. Once again we are blessed with so many people celebrating Abbey’s birth.

Abbey’s One Week Birthday

First Photos of Abbey

You can see the first photos of our beautiful little girl here.

Enjoy! The days and months to come will bring thousands more.

She’s Here!

Abigail Lila joined us at 1:14 PM. She’s absolutely georgeous at 7 lbs 8 oz, and 20 inches long.

Her mom did an amazing job, pushing her out in just 7 minutes. Both are perfectly healthy. Thanks for all your prayers.

Pictures to come soon.

The Joy of the Epidural

It’s about 11 am and Holly has progressed to 4.5 cm. Besides that meaning she’s making good progress, it means time for the epidural.

She just got it and has a big smile on her face everytime she has a contraction that doesn’t hurt. She’s also had some potosin, which is helping things along.

Shouldn’t be too long now…

Houston, The Water Has Broken

Holly’s water broke at 3:15 this morning. No major contractions yet, but we’re having a baby today!

Mom is Finally Here

Mom flew in today so we are ready to have this baby! She left around 2:30pm from San Angelo, flew to Dallas and made it to Seattle by 6:30pm. It was a long day but she made it here in one piece. Parise God for momma’s who are willing to come and help out – I feel so blessed to have her here. We will post again when we have more news.

14 Days & Counting

We went to the doctor on Wednesday, and there was no big news. Still 1.5 cm dilated and 75% effaced. Meanwhile, all three of us are trying to get over being sick. Looking forward to a restful weekend. More news when there is some.

21 Days & Counting

Abigail is defiantly on her way! Jamie and I went to the doctor’s office today and found out that I am 1 ½ cm dilated and 75% effaced. This is not an indication of when Abbey will be here (sooner or later) but that she is for sure coming =)
