She’s finally here. Abigail Jenae was born yesterday, July 14, at 12:25 pm. Weighed a whoppin’ 9 lbs 12 oz and 21 in long. I had a feeling she’d be a bit big since her brothers were both close to 9 lbs and they were early. She decided to take her time and arrived 4 days late and she only came then because I was induced.
It was a beautiful delivery. I labored and delivered in the tub, just like with Seth. Although Abby wasn’t quite as easy to deliver and took a bit longer to push out. I was able to hold her in the tub for a bit and then after they checked her out, the nurses gave her back to me to hold for several hours before taking her to clean her up and stuff. She is a hungry baby already and was smacking her lips and so I was able to feed her right away. She wanted to be fed almost every 2 hours last night. So if this post has lots of typos or doesn’t make sense for some reason…it’s because I didn’t get much sleep last night.
Abby’s middle name “Jenae” is after her mommy (my middle name is Renae) and Grandma DJ (my mom’s name is Janet). Abigail means “Father’s Joy.”
Here are a few photos of our precious little one:
