Abigail Lynn Orr

Just a little tid bit about our labor story. Contractions started on Friday during Jarom's birthday party, but nothing really steady or strong. We got the birthday taken care of and Jarom was able to have a ton of fun with his buddy during the sleep over. Contractions didn't really pickup and get regular until 3:00 in the afternoon on Saturday. We arrived at the hospital just before 7:00 pm. The nurses moved very fast, thankfully, they said I had "the look". thank goodness for "the look"and the nurse that knows it. Abigail Lynn Orr was born at 7:13 pm she weighed 8 lbs 10 oz and measured 21 1/4 " long. She is perfect of course and everything went really well. We did end up with a little scare, at about 10:30 pm I started to bleed pretty heavy. Brennan was sent out with our new baby in his arms, and watched as nurses went in and out to help me. After all the helping ( felt like abuse ) a nurse took Abigail and told Brennan he needed to "go be with me". I think those words made him panic, He was sure I was dying. I suppose the potential was there, but all is well and we are doing great. By we I mean me. Brennan might take a few years to feel that I am fine and safe. But really we are all doing extremely well. Me, the kids and Brennan.
I have been greatly blessed with a healthy family, an extremely good baby, a husband who was able and willing to take a few weeks off work to help with the adjustments, ( and he was a huge help) and many beautiful gifts and delicious meals. thank you so very much to everyone. we love and appreciate you.

While garage saling Rachel found this beautiful cradle. Its been a wonderful gift, Abby's favorite place. She tolerates the rocking very well.

Kathryn is adjusting really well. A very happy big sister.
