Meet Abigail!

Okay, well you can't really meet her just yet.  She is due to make an appearance at the end of February.  February 25th.  She will be our first child and we are beyond excited for her arrival!  

For now, enjoy our first pictures of her!  These were from 8 weeks.

We also got to see her at 16 and 17 weeks when we decided to have an elective ultrasound to find out if she was Abigail or Benjamin.  We got to see her two weeks in a row because the first time she was sleeping and did not want to be bothered!  I did see her hand wave past the doppler but I'm assuming it was her trying to tell us to leave her alone.  The next week she was much more awake and the tech was able to determine that she was a girl right away.  The cute thing is is that she was laying back with her hands behind her head in a very laid back, relaxed way.  Rob said that she was already taking after him.  The tech and I looked over at him and he was sitting the exact same way!  

Next week we will get to see her again at our anatomy scan.  I should get some more good pictures of her then.  The ones we got from the elective ultrasounds were pretty dark.  You can see the outline of her but that's about it.  I can't wait to see her again!  For now I am enjoying all of the kicks I am feeling in my belly.  Rob is patiently waiting to feel her kick.  I really think she is kicking hard enough to feel on the outside but she is such a stinker and stops every time one of us puts a hand on my belly.  She won't kick again until the hand is gone.  She may be stubborn but she sure is strong!
