She's Here

Abigail Grace is here. She arrived at 2:24 pm today by c-section. She wieghs 7lbs 14 ozs and is 20 1/2 inches long. She has a full head of dark hair that is kinky curly when it's wet. She has a set of lungs on her that she demonstrated the first few minutes of her life. Her apgar was 9 out of 9. She looks alot like her big sister with a rounder face.

Mom is doing well, tired and itchy (the meds). We had lots of family today which is always wonderful to visit with. Adyson loves her new sister and I mean loves her new sister. She wants to hold her and take her blanket off to see her hands and feet. She is already protective of Abigail and who can and cannot hold her. She went home with Nana and Papa for a nap, then wouldn't eat dinner b/c she was so busy talking about her sissy. Then they came back to the hospital and they got her to leave by saying they were taking a walk, hopefully all went well when she saw they were going home.

Feel free to come and visit!

Our life

We are scheduled to have Abigail Grace on Dec 29th at the same hospital at 11:30am as long as my doctor doesn't change it this week. (Come visit we are there about 5 days) She wants to do another ultrasound this Thursday to see how big the baby is because I am measuring way ahead. So far I have gained about 10 pounds, 5 of it in the last two weeks. I had to take my ring off today bc I am starting to swell and retain water.

We are moving rooms around. We are giving the girls the bigger bedroom that use to be the guest room and moving the guest room to Addy's current room. Sue and Al are painting the girls room for their Christmas present. It is about halfway thru and looking good. One wall is purple, the other three walls are white on top with a green stripe/border that will have flowers and the bottom is pink. Then one wall is going to have a picture rail with knobs that we will hang pictures from ribbon, sounds like something out of pottery barn doesn't it? I will post pictures as soon as it's done.

My grandma's health has spiraled out of control. It started with the heart, then went to the lungs that have never recovered from her smoking 32 years ago, to losing 15-20 lbs in 2 weeks. We are still waiting test results, crazy time.

Rufus is hanging in there. No updates on him. We switched him to wet food and double doses of meds a day. He is the same, some days are better than others.

I would say that Addy is 85% potty trained. I have not taken her out in public in undies bc I am scared of not getting to the potty in time.

My little girl is getting big!
