Week One

Abby has had a busy and exciting first week of life!

We have family dinner with Shawn’s parents every Sunday night. This week we had a surprise for them! Jennifer and Abby waited in her nursery while Shawn led his parents down the hall and opened the door. They stood in shock for a few minutes and then started to cry. The only way to describe their expressions is pure joy!

The next few days were just eating, snuggles, and sleep. And we loved every minute!

Abby went to her first doctor’s appointment and the doctor said that everything is great! Babies loose up to 10% of their body weight just after birth but she is already well on her way to gaining it back! She weighed 9 lbs and 1 oz today. She is in the 90th percentile on her weight and 98th percentile on her height. Her umbilical cord fell off yesterday and the doctor says her belly button looks good. We go back in a week for another check up.

We have three dogs and it took them a day or two to get used to our new family member. One of our dogs, Sadie is Abby’s personal watch dog!
