Baby Abigail

She decided to come join us on Wednesday 28th September at 12.12am weighing in at 8lbs exactly!




She is super awesome and we love her so much!

We are still in hospital as after a fairly horrific labour she was born by c section. I'm sure I will share more details about the drama soon but the important thing is that the end result is so worth it!

Hopefully we will be home today!

Congratulations to you both. she is so sweet.

Take this time in hospital to rest and look after yourself. You have had a major op and need to take time for you to heal.

You have just begun the most amazing roller coaster ride ever. Enjoy!

Aw bless! What a gorgeous wee thing. Sorry you had such an ordeal...a friend of mine went into labour on a Thursday night and finally had c section on the Sunday! Crazy...hope you are all well. :)

Such a beautiful baby girly & such a pretty name.

So sorry to hear the labour & birth was so awful, I had an emergency c-section too, I hope you are doing ok, it's a pain not be able to do anything for 6 weeks but so worth it eventually. Take care xxx

Louise Ingram said...

Congrats on Abigail's safe arrival! She's beautiful & looks a lot like Will in that 2nd photo. I also had a C-section with Isaac - remember to take it easy & keep taking the painkillers. They're all safe with breast-feeding & you'll find things much easier if you're not in pain. Hope you're a home soon & you make a speedy recovery. Louise x

nicandalfie said...

Massive Congratulations you you all, this is gonna be the best time of your life! x

Annette said...

Congratulations! Abigail is beautiful. Laura when you read this I wish you and your family lots of happiness. Allow yourself time to heal, c-section is a major surgery. So just because you get to come home after a few days doesn't mean for you to worry about cleaning house or doing chores. DELEGATE! It's hard enough to take care of a new baby. I'm so happy for you - she's finally here.

Katie said...

Huge congrats!
She is gorgeous. Hope you're on the mend now and getting settled in at home :-)

Jackie Pocock said...

Sorry to hear things went horrific - but aren't all the hospital team magnificent?!? (my labour/ delivery went bad too - everything but the c section!), however, it's all worthwhile & your baby daughter is just the sweetest - no wonder you are both so proud.
