Little Miss Abby was born at 8:48 on Thursday, Jan 3. She was 5 lb, 4 oz, 19 in long and was the most beautiful creation I'd ever seen.
I remember the couple weeks leading up to her birth very well. Excitement, discomfort, anxiety, hope, and not a whole lot of patience (my first post on this blog was on Jan 2, 2008... I think my mood was pretty evident:)). But, when she decided she was ready to show up, I felt like the whole world stopped.... and in a way, it did.The world, my world, changed. The old one disappeared, and the new one seemed to turn in an entirely different direction.
This world brought new perspectives, fears, pains, joys, hopes, and a more beautiful love.
Everything was more meaningful. Everything mattered.
It's amazing how a little baby, not even six pounds, can have such a profound impact.... and even more amazing is that she continues to modify my world every single day.
I love my Abby Jo. I am so thankful for her tender heart, her motherly tendencies, her one liners, her laugh, and, yes, even her sassiness. But, most of all, I treasure her complete, absolute, genuine joy in everyday things. She is the most beautiful girl I know.
Happy Birthday to My Sweet Abby Jo! I love you!
