Happy 2 weeks Abi!

Wow, it has already been two weeks since Abi came into the world. We can't really believe it! The past two weeks have been full of so much love, laughter, and trying to figure out being parents to this little miracle. She's been so much fun. We're thankful for all of the excitement and joy that have been shown to our family these past two weeks. Hooray for Abi!!

Well... we could have been friends

Okay sure, Angela and I have lived in Dallas for almost three years together and have never found our way back down to College Station to visit or to cheer on the dear old Texas Aggies, and sure, the picture was for her grandpa, but still, this is going to far!

Doctor's Visit

Abi had her first Doctor's visit yesterday and she was elected to the all-star baby team. For those of you who haven't ever been to a pediatrician with an infant let me tell you, there are three categories you can get put into... Awesome babies (Abi), Just-Okay babies, and scrawny ugly babies. When Abi showed up and passed her tests with flying colors they gave her a jersey, some tear-aways, and a tizight skull cap. Then the strobe lights kicked on, she was intro'ed by a famous announcer, and awarded a trophy to the aplause of all the other babies!

That would have been great! What actually happened is we waited around for 2 hours to receive 20 minutes of actual care, not too exciting. The good news: Abi has gained her birth weight plus 5 ouces (8lbs. 11 ounces) and doesn't have Jaudice, so that is a plus. Also, with her weight being okay, we can let her start sleeping through the night! Nice!

So Thankful!

Giving thanks is the very life of prayer. It is its fragrance and music, its poetry and its crown.

We feel so enriched by our little one. While she is completely dependant on us, it is beautiful to see how she gives life to us in prayer and joy as we give thanks to God. It is amazing to feel the blessing of family! Here are some more pictures of our little dream!

Angela has loved getting to dress Abi up (A LOT!)

Nap time is the best!

So wonderful

Adding Love to Abi!

Thanks to all who came to love on our daughter!

Abi's Blog

Believe it or not, Abi is not quite to the stage where she can type yet - although we do think that she is getting close. We wanted to create this blog as a place where we could post lots of pictures of our sweet girl, and what makes her little life unique and special. The past 4 days have been simply wonderful. Words really can't express our joy and elation at being parents. Thanks to everyone for their continual prayers over getting her into the world, and over her life now that she is here. The Wallace family is thankful!
