Abigail Elizabeth Grossarth

Abigail Elizabeth joined our family on April 11, 2013 at 5:38 AM. She weighed 7lbs 2 oz. and was 19.8 in. long.  I've picked my very favorite pictures from her first few days of life, but there are still a lot of them. I took this first one when they came in to take newborn pictures of Abby.  I was glad it turned out pretty well, so we don't have to buy the CD.  :)

Abby's momma looks pretty tired- and I was!  More about that in the next post...

I love this picture because Abby kept lifting her head and looking up at me.  Made me feel pretty special after what I'd just been through.  Sweet little girl.

 Proof that she is the biggest of our babies.  

I could hardly wait for the kids to meet her.  Kaitlyn instantly became Abby's second mother.  

Jackson was so sweet with her.  Such a great big brother.

Madison was very gentle with her.  I was amazed.

This is the only family picture we have so far.  We will have to get another one soon.

Thankfully my mom was there to take care of the kids and Abby arrived before she had to leave!  

 The next day we got all packed up and left the hospital.  

She just looked so tiny in that big carseat!

Abby was immediately loved when we walked in the door.

Kaitlyn thought it was exciting to carry her baby sister.  Luckily that is the only time its happened...so far.

Grandma with the four kids all dressed up on Sunday.

The girls like to feed Abby.

Jackson likes to burp her.  

Kaitlyn was my big helper when I took Abigail to the Dr. for her first checkup.  Abby had already passed her birth weight on day 5 of life so we didn't have to go back at 2 weeks.  That's my little eater!

Little snugglers.

Gotta love the bow with karo syrup trick that my mom used for me, and I love to use for my bald babies. 

Everyone continues to love snuggle time with baby whenever the get a chance!  The only complaint they have is that she sleeps too much and they always want to be holding her.
