Abby's Home

I had Abby in my arms on Tuesday afternoon. She came home to the rest of the family on Thursday. She was very overwhelmed when we arrived at the airport and everyone reaching for her. She would not let anyone hold her for a few days except for me. I must admit it made me feel special. Her daddy couldn't even hold her without me in the room until yesterday. Everytime I am out of her sight she screams. She is such a special baby. We love her so much and even with everything that has happened would do it all over again. We took her to the dr. today for her check-up, her eye has been watering. Well, her eye was o.k. but she had to have a shot. She wasn't very happy about that. I love my mornings with her she is so precious in the mornings....well all the time really. But, she is so happy in the mornings. She is a great baby.

Her daddy has said over teh past few months that she was going to be a daddy's girl....nope all mama all the time. I love it!!!! I know it may change any day. She lights up my life. I just can't wait to hold her again in the morning.

Oh I can't believe it, I almost forgot to tell ya'll. She says mama if someone has her and she wants me back. She started this Thursday night when we got home from Guatemala.

I love her to peices....she exceeds my expectations.

Beth

Congratulations on getting your beautiful little girl home. I just think that curly hair is just to die for. Enjoy every minute of being with her because she will grow up fast.
