1 Week Old!!!

Today Miss Abby is 1 week old! And what an eventful week it has been. It hardly seems like it was 7 days ago that we were in that operating room welcoming Abigail ~ it seems like she's always been a part of this family. We are so thankful for God's gift to us in our daughter and for the fact that she seems to be one of the world's most content and fuss-free babies.

So... on to the recent developments. On Monday (yesterday) we were cleared to stop using the the bili-light on Abby, so we were finally able to unplug her and enjoy some real snuggling, along with a short walk to the mailbox, a trip to Jen's old office to show off Abby, and a stop at Walmart and Kohl's to pick up some necessities. Abby has already used up all of the newborn diapers that we had stocked for her (since we thought she was going to be a big girl we had only purchased a few newborn size upfront and had lots and lots of size 1). We also needed some newborn sized pants, since the size 0 to 3 months pants come all the way up to her armpits.

We visited the doctor today and Abby had regained all her birth weight and was looking great. She is eating and filling diapers like a champ. And... we even got 3 hours of sleep in a row last night. Needless to say, we are all feeling much better. So much better that we are going on our first visit to the Grandmas houses this weekend. I'm sure Grandma Mary and Grandma Yvonne (and the Grandpas too) can't wait for Abby's first visit.
