Abby Elise is here!!
Hey everyone, Abby Elise was born by emergency c-section yesterday at 5.53 pm. She weighed 7 1b 3 oz and was 19in. I'm not just saying this, but she is the most beautiful baby in the WHOLE world, no really :=)
We are so in love I didn't know it could even be possible. We will room in with the baby until discharge. birthmom is so awesome, her family was there and we felt like we were part of the family too. I never thought I could stare at someone so long, she is too cute. We have to wait the 10day period and hopefully finalize by day 14 so we can go home!! It started snowing here, I'm so ready to go back to Hawaii with our hulagirl!!!! How do I resize pictures to post here??
