Just because

This has to be one of my favorite pictures that I've taken so far! I laid Abby down with Josh and shortly after I did, she reached her hand out like his. It was just too cute to not take a picture of it!

I know this is a month late, but at least I am posting :) So basically on August 24th my water broke at 3 a.m. and we went to Labor and Delivery. I was dilated to a 4 1/2 so they admitted me. They said I wouldn't deliver until 5 or 6 that night. Then they checked me at 8 a.m. and I was at an 8, but they still said it would be 1 or 2 before I delivered. They checked me again at 10 and I was at a 10, but the baby wasn't down far enough so we did rest and descend. About an hour later the baby's head was there and we were ready. Except for the fact that Josh had run over to the college to talk to his professor to get the syllabus from him since it was the first day of school, and the dr wasn't there either. So they said we could wait a little while, but then came back a few minutes later saying we couldn't wait any more. The baby seemed to be going into distress. The nurse rubbed her head a little and it seemed to make her do better. Right then our Dr and Josh got there. It took about 3 or 4 contractions, and she was out! We are so happy to have her here and can't imagine life without her.
