Abby is all “hooked up” and ready for this baby. Looks like we’ll officially induce around 8:30AM and we will most likely have Ruth some time after lunch. But according to our doctor, we could have her this morning.
It’s pretty much a toss up of you ask me.
Here’s a quick shot of Abby getting set up!
As we were winding things down the other day, Adele drew this photo using the touch screen capabilities on the iPad… Steve Jobs would be proud.
Here is Adele giving us her first hiccups! I know, I know, she’s going to be giving us a lot of hiccups, but these were her first out side of the womb. We thought you’d enjoy another short clip, so here she is!

Here you can watch Abigail singing to Adele – you may want to turn your volume up as loud as you can!

We had a dear friend, Ashley Martin, make our door-hanger and honestly, it’s perfect!! Trust me, there are a lot of ugly door-hangers out there… but I tend to have a couple of opinons.
If you would like to contact Ashley Martin, go to her website HERE. Thanks Ashley for making our door-hanger the envy of others in the hospital!
We’re all settled in our room & resting well. Adele is sound asleep and has already been fed by Abigail!
Abigail is doing good and has begun to rest and eat too. Abigail’s family all came in for the day and it was such a blessing to have them here. My family will come in this weekend and it will be great to see them too!
We’ve already had visitors and feel very loved by our friends, community, church, & family. We will be in the hospital until Thursday evening!
Adele (pronounced “a-dell”) is sleeping and we thought we’d share a picture with you!

Today is the day that everything ‘officially’ changes. Yea, we’ve been prego for 9 months, but today our little girl will come. So, we’ll be doing our best
