its a girl!

Abigail Renee was born on September 23, 2010 at 10:18 pm, weighing 6 pounds, 12 ounces and 19 inches long! She has a full head of dark hair, and deep blue-grey eyes. She has been such an easy baby so far! I gave birth without any surgery, and very minor tearing. I am so proud of myself for having a vaginal birth (even if I did take an epidural). My husband sat by my side and not only held my leg, but watched our little girl enter into the world. He was a little grossed out, but mostly amazed. He held her first, and she's had him wrapped around her finger ever since. She absolutely loves to sleep on daddy's chest, and always stares up at him when he talks.

She's such an easy baby. She never fusses! She goes to sleep without any problems, and very rarely takes a pacifier. She makes a few noises when she's dirty or hungry, but even then its quiet and calm. We are so incredibly blessed!

I had trouble breast feeding, and now I'm just pumping milk and giving it to her in bottles. We're still trying to get through it, and although its hard I know its worth it. I just want what is best for my darling little girl. Its been frustrating, and quite the experience. Matthew has been so supportive and understanding. He's not being pushy or frustrating or overwhelming at all. He's such a huge help! Even with changing dirty diapers, and getting up in the middle of the night when she fusses. We are both just absolutely in love with our daughter!
