I still can’t help it, I smile every time I hear the sound of baby Abigale crying. It makes me feel good in a weird sort of way. No, I don’t just like to hear her cry - but it let’s me know she’s awake and active. The only problem is, she seems to be more awake and active during the wee hours of the morning. The past couple nights in a row she seems to have become my 5 AM wake call.

Jamie will get up and feed her until she falls back asleep - seemingly content with milk. But a few minutes later, she’ll pout again and before you know it she’s into an all out scream. But she doesn’t take much more milk. I’m convinced she just likes it when Jamie gets up to hold her, who can blame her I like it too. But at what point will a baby start sleeping through the night?

Well it finally happend! Baby Abigale was born on August 1st at 8:05 in the morning! She was a 6 pound 4 0z healthy baby girl. She was a c-section baby and i was thinking of calling her angel because she looked so beauitful and peaceful. Untill last night, when she through her own party. i was thinking of a slightly different  nickname!

 :)  

She woke up 2 to 3 times almost every hour! CRAZY! She is so good during the day sleep, eats, poops, sleeps….. she mustbe  nocturnal? I need to find the code to reverse this! I try to wake her a few hours before i go to sleep but she is so deep in z land its impossible. Poor Brad hardly got any sleep either, he looked like a monster this morning!  Hopefully in time she will figure out mamma is much nicer when you give her sleep!

Baby Hailey is now 18 months, and is taking all the new changes of having a baby sister pretty well. She tries to say abby but instead says abba. She wakes up in the moring asking for baby and runs in our room to her bassinett. She loves to give her kisses but then tries to sit on her! I cant wait to see in years from now the strong bond that they will form together! Motherhood is such a beautiful thing even if you dont get to sleep like a baby anymore!

I just wanted to take a moment to come on here and wish all you moms out there a very Happy Mother’s Day!!

I especially want to wish my wife Jamie a happy mother’s day as she relax’s a bit to try to recover from a bad cold.  I want her to get better so she can enjoy these last few months of pregnancy for the miracle it is and to thank God for blessing us with baby Hailey and baby Abigale on the way.  Have a great day!
