Here's looking at you, Daddy

Pumpkin Time

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted! Here is what we've been up to ... carving a lot of pumpkins! Joe got very into it, and Abigail slept the entire time! Joe did Mario, it looked awesome!


Round two of carving. I did the owl, and Joe did the spider. It's fun having friends over & carving pumpkins! I love this season - I don't even mind the snow. For now!
Cousins! My sister is due anytime, so she brought her kids up to see Abigail! They were very excited to hold her! I'm excited that Abigail & her cousin are going to be so close in age! Bottom pictures - Abigail getting some tummy time in - it usually doesn't last too long, and another picture after bath time. I love her hair right after we wash it!

the new addition - Abigail Kate Chambers

I know many of you have probably been checking the blog for updates ... so here it is. First - who does she look more like? on the left we have Joe, Abigail in the middle, and me on the right. I think it's safe to say she has my hair, at least color wise!

Getting to hold the little girl that's been wiggling inside of me for nine months for the first time!! Giving birth was an amazing, stressful experience (especially the pushing) but well worth the effort. She came out sunny side up, and was having a hard time at the end but made it through ok. She weighed 7 lbs. 8 oz., 19 inches long.

I don't know if you can tell, but after washing her hair, it goes a little curly. She screamed the first time we washed her hair, but seems to enjoy it since then. Love the double chin!!

A smile? We'll claim it. She really has been a good baby. It's stressful trying to figure things out, and I'm grateful for friends and family who put up with phone calls from me! And many million thanks to Joe for putting up with me, and helping me! You're the best & I love you!
