Abigail Margaret Michelle...Mama's lil' dolly...

This is the birth announcement I wrote for the weekly paper next week..I was too late for this week's edition.

Hunter would like to announce the arrival of his baby sister, Abigail Margaret Michelle. Abby arrived on June/27/03 at 1:24am at LHG-Russell St. Site. She weighed in at 8lbs 6oz's and is 21" long. Proud and ecstatic are parents Beth and Rob. Abby is the fifth grandchild for Donald and Margaret M. and third grandchild for Keith and Pirjo T. Momma would like to extend her thanks to Dr. B, Dr. R, and Dr. G. An extra special thank-you to nurse Liz for her wonderful support during labour and for delivering Miss Abby. We would also like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the nurses on the 5th and 6th floors for their kindness and professionalism...especially Sally and RPN Jackie for the supreme care we received.

My beautiful baby girl has been a handful tonight!!!! Crying off and on....only when dada holds her and wanting my boob!!!! She is a delight though and sooooo cute! I hope we can see Janis tomorrow as she will love her!

"In the sheltered simplicity of the first days after
a baby is born, one sees again the magical closed
circle, the miraculous sense of two people
existing only for each other."

I love my baby girl but please settle down and go to sleep!

Abby had her weigh in today and she weighs in at, 9lbs 6ozs!!! She is gaining...a bit slower than Hunter but the doc says all is well...gave her a good once over. :thumbsup: Keep being a piggy!

I totally keep forgetting to print off the announcement...I will have to later tonight.

My lil' baby has her tears now! She was screaming her pretty head off while I was in the line at drive-thru and when we got home I noticed her lil' face was wet with tears. Awwww.

Abby is 23 days old now!!! She is a Momma's girl and likes to be held!!! She also has a lil' curl on top of her head! Gosh she is adorable.

This morning Abby slept long enough for me to make the beds, clean the bathroom, do a load of laundry and hang it on the line!!! I then fed her and dusted after I was done. She was quite content to sit in her seat and watch the fan go back and forth!!! A very productive day!

Apparently people all over town are telling Papa M. what a cute baby Abby is...I only wish he would show more interest in her. He was the exact same when I had Hunter though and now they are great pals.

I finally printed off her birth annoucement...I wanted it in this week's edition but apprently I was too late for that.
