Abby has now been with us for 2 weeks! It seems hard to believe that 2 weeks have gone by. I feel like I can barely remember the first couple of days with her, maybe because we are so sleep deprived, but it’s almost scary how quickly the time goes. I have been wanting to write down her birth and the days after, but just haven’t had time. I know I will need to do that soon so that I can get down all the details.

I always knew it would be hard to have an infant here, but I now know that I really had no idea. It’s amazing how this little bitty person can completely turn your world upside down….but then you love them so much, it doesn’t even matter!

Abby is the coolest little thing that has ever happened to Andrew and me. She is getting bigger and bigger which we are so thankful for! I can’t wait until she has all the cute baby rolls. She LOVES to be held, rocked, jiggled, swaddled, and talked to. Sometimes she is not happy sleeping in her bouncer or pack and play, but she always loves to sleep being held. Many times during the day she is so alert, looking around, trying to figure things out. Andrew will hold her and talk to her and she just sits there and stares up at him. It really is the sweetest thing I have ever seen. She is not a big fan of sleeping through the night right now, but we know this season of her life will pass…we are just praying it passes sooner rather than later.

We are so thankful and blessed by Abby! Life as a family of three is great!
