First Real Tubby

Abigail's first real tubby at home. A lot less screaming then we anticipated, until she came out.

I think I would rather sleep!

What is this....

Madelyn was a huge help bathing Abigail!   She sure loves her little sister and is always wanting to help, from getting diapers, to reminding me to give Abigail her vitamins, to helping me nurse her, burp her, and always wanting to hold her.

Will also loves his baby sister but gets bored of her a bit quicker. However he loves to show he toys and is the first to give her good night hugs and kisses.

One week

Hard to believe Abigail is one week old today! We are settling in well, getting used to having a baby and diapers etc. in the house again. 

Will and Madelyn are loving their little sister, sometimes a bit too much.

Abigail Florence Bettschen

IAbigail was born July 6th at 11:00am. She takes the cake for my quickest delivery, we arrived at the hospital at 9:45am. Yes people we were at the hospital just over an hour before she was born!

Everyone is doing great, Will and Madelyn were very excited to meet Abigail.

When they came Madelyn got her two babies too, a boy and a girl. She has been calling the girl baby Abigail (used to be Mommy) and the boy baby Nobody or Daddy.

The girls now officially out number the boys, and the girls were right, baby was a girl, boys were wrong. Although Will always referred to the baby as she and her so I that is why I thought girl, he always insisted the baby would be a boy. 

Now for the pictures.

Cupcakes

We are headed to a BBQ tonight and bringing dessert, I think they will be a hit!

Cousin Haley Visits

We were thrilled to have cousin Haley and her drivers (aka Uncle Bob and Auntie Beth) down for the long weekend! What a great visit, complete with a trip to the beach and Canada Day celebrations at the leg and a campfire in the yard complete with hot dogs, bush pies, s'mores, and sparklers! 

The kids are definitely in Uncle, Aunt and Cousin withdrawal! 

Baby Update

No baby yet. 

We are waiting patiently, hopefully within the next week. 

In the meantime, the kids and I are enjoying trips to the spray park by morning and AC in the afternoons.
