Abigail Emma Pruden

It finally happened! I shouldn't make it sound worse than it was, it's not like I was overdue yet or anything but hey I was ready. Very early, around 3 am, Sunday morning I started having contractions. We got to the hospital at about 8:10, and Abigail was born at 9:51. It was by far my best labor, which I am very grateful for! Here are some pictures, more to come! This is me while in labor, obviously in between contractions. Thus the smile.

Here is me with Abigail just a little after she was born.


Here is the whole family, with two very proud sisters.




Here is Grandpa Stewart with the new baby.

Here is baby Abi, as Grace calls her, on her way home from the hospital.

Welcome, welcome little Abigail to our family. You are beautiful, just like your big sisters. In fact, in many ways you look like your sisters did when they were born. Your Mom looks quite beautiful as well and even smiling during labor!

What a cute family! She is beautiful. We look forward to additional pictures. They change so much in these first few days. Sounds like your labor went great and you looked beautiful through the whole experience as well. And is that some hair I see?

Congratulations. You make that look way too easy. You look so great! I'm excited to meet her. If you are reading this anytime soon go take a nap. Let me know if I can take Sara and Grace for a play date. Happy recovery! :)

Sure, I check your blog like every day, then the time that I skip a few days, you have a ton of new posts...and a new baby! Congratulations you guys, I miss you so much! We'll have to come over and see her soon! And holy cow your labor sounded awesome, and your hair was all done and cute. Also, I'm glad you named her already. Was it easier to think of her name than Sarah's? And I also wanted to tell Grace that her hair is looking so beautiful and long. Well, congratulations again! (sorry so long)
