Sunday we celebrate Michael's dedication by going out to brunch with the family. Brian's parents have been visiting for the past week, so we had all kinds of family to celebrate with. It's been fun having them with us and staying cozy, warm inside while watching the snow fall.
Trying to get babies to cooperate for a photo. This was before Abby headbutted Leah. The first of many I'm sure. As my sister always says, "babies are resilient."
Abby was so excited to have a new baby sister. On Thursday, she didn't even take a nap because she was so wound up and due to new visitation restrictions at the hospital because of the swine flu, Abby had to wait two days until she could meet little Leah. But we finally got to come home today and Abby got to meet the new addition to the family. Here's some photos of their first day together...
Baby Leah is finally here!! She arrived at 4:57 a.m. weighing in at 7 lbs. 9 oz. and measuring 19 1/2 inches long. Mother and baby are both doing well and the entire experience this time was incredibly quick and smooth. We couldn't have asked for anything better. Here are a few shots of her first moments with us...
We will post more photos as we are able. Check back for more soon!
Just wanted to let you know that we are in labor and at the hospital. Everything is progressing really well and Rachel is doing an incredible job so far. Shouldn't be too much longer. Check back later today for the official announcement and hopefully even some pictures too. Thanks so much for all your prayers!
