A Week in Pictures


I intended to maintain the blog over the past week, but I've been too busy cuddling to get to the computer.  Abigail is such a doll, has the best temperament, makes silly faces, mostly sleeps all day, and feeds like a champ.

She's an angel, and we're in heaven.

This week has been so packed between her birth, visitor's, my birthday,  and Kevin's travels, that instead of trying to wax poetic on the last 7 days, I figured a week in pictures would be best.

What a blessing.  I am at a total loss for words...

Thursday night.  Headed into the hospital!
Getting hooked up to fetal monitoring
After the epidural I was able to smile (and feel sane!) again  ;)

A close up of her IV.  I'll explain more in a future post




We're home!!

Newborn clothes were too big, so we bought a few new outfits.

First Daddy concert outside the womb

Tuesday night Kevin cooked us an Abigail celebration dinner of surf and turf.
Flowers on the right were for me, flowers on the left for Abigail.
What a great Dad he is!

Kevin's first of many diaper changes

She clearly does not like being naked

And likes the bath even less...

Calming down after the bathing trauma.  Life is tough!

Birthday morning with my birthday blessing

Headed downtown for my birthday.
We went to Pink Door for an appetizer and drink to celebrate!

1 week!

Abigail and I enjoyed slumber parties while Kevin was out of town.

I am at a loss for words expressing how I feel, but I know two things for sure:  I can't wait to spend the rest of my life being Abigail's Mommy, and I love her more than she will ever know.

Happy one week birthday my darling little girl.

Dad and I love you so deeply.

OMG! My arms are aching to hold this little beauty! Thanks for posting these pictures. It helps so much close the space between us and you and gives me a look into your world. I cannot wait to spend some time with my newest "grand"! It brings back good memories of my little Kevin, who was such a sweet baby. I know you both are already great parents and I love watching you fall in love with Abigail...sigh...I am going to look at these pictures again!

20 week ultrasound

Yesterday Kevin and I went to our 20 week ultrasound.  Everything looked great and the two questions still lingering in my mind were confirmed. 1) Yes, it's a boy! 2) Nope, I'm not having twins  :) I've heard it a million times: with each pregnancy you pop a little sooner, but when I was in maternity pants at 12 weeks, I thought surely there must be two in there... Here are some pictures, if you'd like to see. During George's 20 week ultrasound Kevin admitted he'd almost fallen asleep, so I will admit: I had a hard time staying awake this time  :) But we did get to see him in 4D ultrasound which we've never done before, so that was really cool. So fun! After our appointment we went to breakfast at Salish Lodge and took my first Month of Bumps picture. (cue shrills of excitement from everyone eager to see belly pics for the next 4 months!) Before taking the picture I (lovingly) assured Kevin that yes, we would be taking...

Merry Christmas!

May your day be Merry and Bright!

A Suburban NYE

We partied hard with neighbors for New Year's Eve this year, and it was perfect - no need to dress up, tackle crowds, or spend big bucks - add to that great friends who are also neighbors, and it's a win/win.
