6 Weeks Old

Well Thanksgiving is over and there are so many things for us to be thankful for. We really missed all our family at Thanksgiving this year, but we didn't spend it alone. Brett's mom and dad invited us over to have Thanksgiving with them and their family. They had a lot of food. We are very thankful to have a church family here that loves us and ministers to us. We are thankful for our Savior, all our family and friends and especially thankful this year for our little girl!

Sorry we didn't update last week we ran out of batteries and I didn't go get any until the middle of the week. But don't worry I got the rechargeable ones now so we shouldn't run out anymore. Tyler did take one last Saturday so here she is at 5 weeks...just look at her =)

She has moved to her own bed now and she seems to do pretty well in there. She is sleeping good and only gets up every 3 or 4 hours. We are progressing in the right direction =).

" I would rather be sleeping next to Mommy!"

Today I pumped some milk for her to see if she would take a bottle and so far we are not having any luck with it. I have bottles that are supposed to be just like breastfeeding, but she doesn't like it. Good thing I don't plan on going any where for a long period of time without her.

"Daddy is trying to feed me a bottle and I don't like it!...Where is my Mommy?!"

"I am so happy in the mornings."

"Talk to the hand"

Here is a short video clip of her first theology lesson. I had gone to the store and when I got back this is what I found. She never took her eyes off of Tyler while he was reading. It was so cute!

Abigail is now 9 pounds 4 oz. and 20 1/2 inches long. She is growing very fast. Well that is all for this weekend. We will do our best to keep updating every week. Stay tuned for more. We love you all and can't wait to see everyone in December.

4 Weeks

Here is Abbi at 4 weeks old. She weighs 9 pounds now. She is growing so fast.

I am so sophisticated

She loves her Daddy

And she loves her mommy's kisses

Well I haven't been on here and updated in a long time. Tyler beats me to it...he is a very excited and proud daddy. Everything is going well here, Abbi and I are doing well. She is not sleeping throught the night yet which is expected. However, she has moved to waking up every 4 hours instead of 2. It is such a blessing that the Lord has allowed me to stay home with her. I get plenty of rest here at home with her.

I put Abbi on her belly this morning so she could show off her skills. She is a little inch worm and she moves so well. (my battery died though so I didn't get all of her moving. I'll try again another day) She is getting so big she is a little over 8 pounds now and is staying awake more during the day. She is looking more and more like her daddy. I love watching her little faces she makes.

I wanted to say thank y'all for all the prayers and support throughout the pregnancy and delivery. God has blessed us with a beautiful little girl and I give Him all the praise for her.

3 Weeks Old!

Here's our little girl at 3 weeks old. She is doing great and really starting to pay attention to her surroundings.

Matters of Prayer:

1. The pediatrician called us today and asked us to come back in to have her blood drawn. When she was born they took some blood and it came back showing some possible issues with her thyroid. They are not too concerned, but want to make sure that the levels are down to were they need to be. Sorry that is a little nebulous, but that is what they told us.
2. Also, I will be preaching on November 30, Sunday Morning.
3. We just got word from our pastor that a member of our church past away Sunday night. His name was Spunky Patton and he was 63. His death comes as a major shock and blow to us. His family owns an insurance company here in town and they are also faithful to the church. Lacey had just talked to him and his wife the other day when she set up insurance for our car. His father is one of the oldest members of our church and gets around better than most 50 year olds, he is 94. Please be praying for the Patton family.

2 Weeks Old!

Here she is, in all of her delightful poses...
Two weeks and a couple of hours old!
