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!

Well, my story is one of big change in a little amount of time.  This time last year I was single, not only single but set in my bachelor ways.  I had all my time to myself, I did what I wanted to do when I wanted to do it.  Most of my days between work were spent playing video games, riding my motorcycle around town or out having a good time with the guys.  Not to mention sleeping in on a regular basis!  Life was easy, other than my job and bills I really had no responsibility and I loved it.  I had no one to answer to.

Cut to what seems like a few short months ago and you meet my wife, of course she was just my girlfriend at the time.  But she was already starting to introduce me to things I didn’t think were ever going to be in my life.  It wasn’t long at all before I met Baby Hailey.  At first, I had limited time to get to know her, I wasn’t around all the time and only played with her a few minutes at a time while waiting for Jamie to go out to dinner.  That’s all she needed, that little baby wiggled her way into my heart effortlessly.  By this time I was already well in love with her mother, but then I started realizing I loved the baby too when I missed her smile while I was away.  She has the cutest laugh!  Not to mention she loves to imitate the things I do.

Now comes the part where I really started becoming a father!  These were the things I didn’t plan on.  Changing diapers, giving baths, trying to entertain her when she’s cranky, the baby I mean.  Love you honey!  When I was a bachelor, thinking of changing diapers and crying kids is something that makes you glad you are single.  But now that I do it, I wouldn’t trade it for the world.  Not any of it. 

It may smell but it gives you a warm feeling knowing that you made the baby feel better after giving her a fresh diaper and cleaning her up.  It’s a blast playing with her in the bathtub, we have this little game called ‘you throw it out of the tub and watch daddy fetch’, that’s her favorite.  My favorite part of ’tubby time’ is the bubble blower she got for Easter, I shower her with bubbles and watch as she tries to catch them in mid-air!  And one of my favorite things, the thing I love most is when she is cranky and ready for a nap.  That’s when I get to make her a bottle and hold her in my arms until she falls asleep.  Many times I’ll hold her after she falls asleep rather than taking her to her crib.  She just seems so comfortable and at peace that I don’t want to move and disturb her.  I just wanted to start humming, ‘Hush little baby, don’t say a word…’.
