Our New Addition

On November 19, 2011 Abigail Jane Polson joined our little family. Everything went smoothly with the c-section and at 1:45 p.m she was born weighing in at 8lbs 1 oz and 21 inches long. She shocked us right away by, first of all, having hair but secondly it was dark. Not something we would have ever expected. And I'm sure you're looking at the pictures right now, thinking "that's not dark" but for our little family that's nothing short of a miracle. Lauren didn't even have any hair until she was about 2. The girls were super excited about their little sister, although hesitant about the whole hospital thing. I realized I failed to prepare them about mommy being in the hospital. Emily seemed to struggle with that the first day. She just kept asking why I couldn't get out of bed and saying she wanted to go home. Oversight on my part. Abigail has been a wonderful baby since the day she was born. At about 3 weeks she was sleeping through the night, just waking for 1 feeding and going back to bed. I kept waiting for that to end but she's proven to be a gem. Her sisters love, love her...sometimes a bit too much.
