Happy Birthday Sweet Abigail

Today is Abby's first birthday! Its amazing to me that we have actually made it to this day. Looking back on her troubled beginning, the stress, the emotion, the actual physical health problems. To think, one year ago today, our little Abby (and I mean little, 3pounds 1 ounce) came into this world. She was in the hospital for 5 weeks, with IVs, Chest Tube, Ventilator, Feeding tube and a whole slew of other things. It was almost hard to bring her home when the time came, knowing there would be no nurses to come to my aid. She was just over 4pounds when she came home. Nevertheless, we have made it. Abby has grown and exceeded all expectations. Not to mention survived living with her parents. There are very little problems now, mostly just that she is anemic which we will see how she has come along on Friday at her next visit with the Doctor. It is so fun to watch her learn new things and how excited we all get that she can sit by herself or make her way from couch to couch. All in all we have had a very blessed year with her. She is definitely Our child. She looks like her dad, is stubborn just like both of us, and throws fits if she doesn't get what she wants (that's just like her dad, wink wink). We look forward to many more memories we have with her and to watch her grow and learn. Look and see her grow.
