Abigail Lillian Malley is One Week Old!



Hello! I am finally able to sit down and update all of you on the exciting events of the past week! I apologize for not doing it sooner, but as most of you know, it's hectic bringing a new baby home and we had a few bumps in the road that delayed me even more.

Abigail was born last Friday at 9:21 p.m. She weighed 5 lbs. 13 oz. and was 19 inches long. We were a little surprised by her early arrival (4 weeks early) but overjoyed to have her arrive healthy and sporting a cute little sprout of black hair, some grayish eyes that I suspect will turn brown and one of the cutest little pouty mouths you ever might see. We spent some extra long days in the hospital and have been home for a few days figuring out how to sleep, feed on demand and make sure little Abby is happy, but it's all paid off because Abby is gaining weight and getting stronger every day. It's been great and I hope that we will have a chance to see all of you soon!

The fact that Abby is one week old was the very first thing I thought about this morning! Yippe, Miss Abby is gaining weight. She looks so adorable with those big gray - soon-to-be brown eyes.
