Abby joined our family late Monday night. We made it to the hospital at about 10:35 pm after making a VERY quick stop at Auntie Brenda's to drop off Anna (it is a good thing she was on the way to the hospital) and Abby was born at 10:44pm.
Abby weighed 7 pounds 6 ounces and is 20 and a half inches long. She is only 10 minutes old in the first picture. Neil had to run down to the car after she was born, because when we got to the hospital I told him to forget it and not worry about it. That should tell you alot if I was willing to leave the camera behind!

She was born with the cutest little top of the head with dark curly hair.
Abby's 1st bath. I love that you can see her little tummy sticking up. So cute! 
Anna meeting her sister for the first time. She asked to hold her several times, but of course, soon got very bored with her. It was so sweet watching Anna love on her and put her little cheek on Abby's cheek. 
First family picture (minus one Anna)! :)

You know you love your husband . . .but then sometimes you wonder if he appreciates all you do? I can not believe all the things Neil has done for me in the past few days. He just figures out what would make something easier on me and then he does it. It's amazing! He has gotten to stay home with me since Abby came home, which I am SOOOOOOOOOOO thankful for. I am a little nervous for when he has to go back to work. Okay I am VERY nervous. But the Lord won't give me more than I can handle right? And if women couldn't handle two babies then we would only be able to have one. Right?
Neil is outside right now pouring the counter top for our outdoor kitchen. He is so excited about it. We are hoping to be able to have lots of bar-be-ques and parties in the backyard this summer! Neil has made our backyard look so good and Anna loves being able to go run around out there. And I love being able to open the door and say "out with you!" :)
Thank you for keeping us in your prayers and calling or coming over to check on us.
