Such a Big Girl

We can't believe how grown up Sam is these days! She continues to amaze us wth her sweet, yet independent spirit, vocabulary, wit, and memory. We are so thankful for the vibrant personality on this little one=)

Sunbutter Sandwich

Sam has grown to love Sunbutter sandwiches! We sadly discovered a peanut allergy with her last month=( Fortunately, there are alternatives!

2 Weeks

This is how we spend much of the day and night=) Abby is a sweet little sleeper!

Home With Abigator!

Upon arriving home, we were greeted by Samantha anxiously waiting for Abigator (her version of Abigail...pretty cute and catchy...so I think Abby has another nickname=) We weren't sure how Sam would react, so we brought her a baby "Abigator" home too! She loves undressing, redressing, diapering, feeding, reading stories, burping, and telling her "it's ok Abigator" when she cries=)

First family photo=)

The Abigators!

Going Home!

After a much more positive labor, delivery, and recovery experience this time around...we were discharged from the hospital Wednesday afternoon=) We couldn't wait to get home to see Sam and spend time together as a family!

Proud Big Sister

Samantha loves her baby sister Abigator=) She holds, snuggles, and kisses her as much as she can!

Happy Birthday Abigail Jeanne

Abigail Jeanne: 8lbs 12oz, 21.5in, July 13 2009, 12:57pm
Mom and baby are doing great. Smooth delivery, even smoother post-partem...which is what we like!! Oh, and Abigail has a great set of lungs on her. Maybe she'll give big sister a run for her money for the "loudest singer" award:-)

Mommy and Soon-to-be Big Sister

Sam, Bob and I stop for a few photos before church. This would be our last photo shoot with Sam as "the only child."

Delivery in Sight!

We just got back from our non stress test and 40+ week ultrasound! Baby is very happy in utero and all looked great from the tests=) Therefore, our doctor doesn't have a "medical reason" to induce quite yet. However, if I do not go into labor on my own by the weekend, we will be induced Monday 7/13/09 morning. Thanks for all your support and prayers! We greatly appreciate each of you and can't wait to introduce you to the newest addition!! Check back for postings=) Love to all!

Due Date

So...THE due date has come and is almost gone...no baby=( I must have a large, cozy womb that our babies don't want to part with! We are very anxious to meet this little one! If she has not arrived by Thursday, I am scheduled for an ultrasound and non stress test that morning. We are praying she comes on her own before then! We'll keep you posted! Thanks for checking in on us=)
