Abigail is Here!!!

Brooke and I were on-call all night as we slept waiting for the call... then Megan fell asleep and when she woke up, the nurse checked her and she was ready to go! We got the call about 15 minutes too late! We got news of her birth as we were driving and were only about 15 minutes away!! So we missed Abigail's entrance into this world after waiting and waiting for her arrival! Dad stayed home with the boys. She sure is a beautiful little girl and so fun to hold and snuggle! Brooke and I stayed until they got to their recovery room... and she and I went and got some breakfast on the way home at First Watch. It tasted sooooooo good! We were both so hungry! Later, I came with the boys to meet their new sister. We went to the store and got a beautiful bouquet of flowers with all pink blooms and I let the boys pick out the balloons-- Luke picked out a Marvel characters balloon for her! Haha! They were so sweet with her and Luke didn't want to stop holding her! Bill had already gotten there before me, so he was in the room when we arrived. We held the baby and stayed for a bit and then we took the boys to Chik-fil-A for dinner. We met up with Brooke and Ben and let the boys play first and then ordered our food. It has been such a wonderful day, but also so tiring! But we have a lot to be thankful for-- it is so fun to hold a newborn because they are so fresh from Heavenly Father! There is a sweetness, purity and innocence to them that makes the Spirit so strong in their presence! Here are Abigail's stats: 7 pounds 11 ounces 20" long and born at 6:10am at Thunderbird hospital in Glendale. She knew right away how to nurse and gained 2 ounces when she left the hospital! She's so sweet and gentle and hardly cries at all and when she does it is so soft and quiet! We love her and are smitten with her already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
