Abigal was born on December 8th at 2:50am after one hour and fifty minutes of labor. She weighed 5 lbs and 13 oz and was 18 inches long. At about eight o'clock that morning they realized that she had a blood sugar malfunction in her system. Little babies like her are sometimes born with a blood sugar immaturity. Their little bodies just don't know how to process sugar yet. So, she was checked into the NICU with an iv. They gave her 8 ml of sugar every hour and just kept testing her blood sugar levels. The next day they slowly turned her IV down as long as her blood sugar was above 60. So every three hours they'd poke her little foot and test her blood. Seriously a hard thing for a Mommy to watch. I left the hospital Thursday morning around eight and Abby came home Thursday night at seven. We're so excited for her to finally be here and so glad she's alright. Yay for such a precious blessing!

She is so cute. Doesn't it feel so great to finally not be pregnant? Hope she continues to be healthy. Good Luck to the new parents.
Thanks!!! Yeah, it does feel good to not be pregnant anymore. It was an easy pregnancy, but right at the end things got hard because she became really lethargic and I was loosing weight. All three of the doctor's in my office said it was time for her to be out. They didn't realize she was almost six pounds though. They thought she was only four. But the adventure is over, and it was a great experience, but I think I'm going to forgo being pregnant for at least two-three years.
