Hi everyone. Just wanted to share with you all, especially the oldies who remember me, that we had our baby! She is a precious little girl. We were in the hospital for 2 days because I had pre-eclampsia and my blood pressure stayed high, but we are now home and doing wonderful.

Her name is Abigail. She was born on July 10. She weighed 5 lbs and 6 oz. Luckily, we had a natural birth and I didn't have to get any of the yucky meds until after she was born.

Daddy is so proud and she already has him wrapped around her tiny little fingers. He is so wonderful with her. I am so happy right now. Words can't explain it. She is beautiful and our family is so different now. This is a new chapter for us as a couple, and I can't wait for all the surprises that being parents will bring us. I knew my H would be a good dad, but I had no idea he would be so attentive. He has been great with me too, taking care of me in the hospital and when we came home. He served me food in bed, cleaned, everything.

Anyway, just wanted to let everyone know. Hope all is well with you guys too.

Love,

Happy_girl

HG & Mr. "HG",

Congratulations to you both on a beautiful baby girl! After having my big ones, she sounds so tiny and petite! You are so right about the new chapter beginning in your lives! I am glad that you are now fine, and that your pre-eclampsia was taken care of.

Again, Congratulations!

Love,
Tigger & Sailorman

PS, another Abigail for the board!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Congrads!
She is so small. My daughter also weighted 5 lbs 6 oz at birth. I remember the diapers falling off her and there was no outfits that fit because she was so small. She is still small for her age. My dad found some premime outfits that fit just right.

Congrads again !

hi everyone,

thanks for the well wishes and congrats! me and abby are doing great! she gained 4 oz when i took her to her well check up. i was so happy. we are breastfeeding and she is doing so good. of course, i let her eat whenever she wants to. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> she is the boss.

dawn71, you are right about her being tiny! none of her clothes fit her. i did get some preemie onesies and they fit her perfect. she swims in everything else. it is so hot here in arizona that all she needs is onesies for now anyway.

it was nice to hear from everyone. thanks!

Happy girl.
Congratulations to you and your husband. It feels good to hear we have another great father in this world. It makes a big diffrence in rasing kids when you have a man that acts like one.

Awwww, Happy Girl....a little, itty-bitty bay-beee girl. All pink and fresh and brand new in this world. A clean slate whose heart and soul are pure and open. And her name is Abigail...so beautiful. I couldn't be happier for you and your husband. I concur completely with Flowerseed that it IS good to have another great Dad on the planet.

You and your husband, with all kinds of life lessons behind you, can raise this wonderful child with love. Your family is strong and intact and you and your husband are committed to each other and have so much to be grateful for (especially your husband <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> ) that I predict your family and home will be a happy one.

God bless all three of you...

Love

Catnip =^^=
