Wow, Abigail is already 1 month old....time is flying by too fast!! She has already changed so much, she is nearly 8 pounds now and is much more awake. She likes to look around, she seems especially interested in Luke (and who wouldn't be - 2 year olds are constant entertainment!), she is sleeping a couple good stretches at night and eating about every 3 hours. We are having so much fun with her!! Here are a couple pictures from today.
We have had a very crazy last couple of weeks, so I have lots to catch up on. Unfortunately, this has mainly been due to illness. Luke was sick with a cold, croup and ear infections 2 weeks ago, and apparently we all got something from him. Last sunday, Abby became sick, and after taking her to an 24 hour emergency clinic, she had a fever, which is very serious in newborns and they transported her to Texas Children's hospital. We spent from sunday night until wednesday in the hospital with her as they ran tests. This was a very scary time for us and we are so thankful that she is home and seems to be ok now. The final diagnosis was that is was probably a viral infection (likely a cold she got from Luke) after all of the tests done in the hospital turned out negative. We are also so thankful to our parents for all of their help last week with Luke so that we could stay with Abby in the hospital!!
Right before all of that happened, we had a very important milestone in the family.....Vic turned 30!!!! We had a fun time celebrating with our family and they even let us escape for a lunch out by ourselves. Luke and I had a lot of fun making some birthday crafts for Daddy, which he is showing off here...
Also on Vic's birthday, we had a pumpkin patch at our church. Vic took Luke to pick out a pumpkin, here he is checking them all out and then with his final selection :-)
And finally, a random picture capturing Luke's favorite activity - standing inside the fridge for a very long time debating what he would like to eat. He thinks very hard about this and always comes up with something specific :-) I really am afraid of how much this boy will eat when he becomes a teenager!!

Happy Birthday Abigail! The last picture cracked me up - he literally stands "inside" the fridge! I think you will be doomed when he is a teenager :)
Great pictures! I'm so glad everyone is home and doing well. Can't wait to meet Abigail.
