As of yesterday, Abbey is officially one month old. She is thriving — growing like a weed and becoming more alert everyday.

She starting to get a little meat on her bones, too. That’s good because we like our kids to be a little chubby in our house. Enjoy some new pictures of Abbey and Grady.

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

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.

Thanks to all who have sent sweet congratulatory emails and left comments on the site. Abbey is blessed to have such love and encouragement from the start. Read the rest of this entry »

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

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

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.

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…

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

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.

Our first “Favorite Thing” is Paytrust. We have been using this on-line bill pay service for 5 years and love it. I know what you’re thinking: “But I get free BillPay from my bank. Why would I want to pay some other service?” Read the rest of this entry »
