Abby's Here!!!!!
Abigail Eve

around 5:40 p.m.
8 lbs. 1 oz.
19 inches
Sarah and Brian went to the hospital last night and Sarah was induced this morning. Brian called us and we all met at the hospital before visiting hours were over to meet Abby. She is adorable! She has a bit of blonde fuzz on her head and light, almost transparent eyebrows. She was only 3 hours old when we saw her, so we'll gather more details about her as we get to see her more. Abby looks a bit like her daddy, and a lot like her mommy. Sarah's mom said that Abby looks a lot like Sarah's baby photos. We are all SO excited to finally have her here. My parents are way older today because now they're grandparents! Jeff, Raquel, Gary, and I are happy to add "uncle" and "aunt" to our names, too. (Yes, Gary and I have nieces on his side of the family, but now we're Aunt Kim and Uncle Gary on both sides!) Sorry our photo is kind of bad; we didn't want to use the flash on her brand new little eyes!
My classroom is officially finished being set up--I was half-way home when Brian called me to tell me that Abby had been born. Gary took down our pine tree today with Ashley. Raquel asked if we're paying Ashley for all this work she's done for us! Tomorrow Gary has rented a stump grinder so we can finish up the yard. We have plans to see our families for some last of summer BBQs, and then it's back to work for me. I vow to keep up the blog while I'm teaching--I know there's been some doubt.
Renee is getting induced next Friday (September 8th). Ethan was 4 lbs. 9 oz. and Audrey was 4 lbs. 4 oz. at Renee's check-up last Monday. We can't wait to meet them, too!
Tomorrow is our 3 month anniversary--very exciting! We're celebrating by grinding stumps and then with tuna noodle casserole.
Here are Michelle's photos from Jeff and Raquel's wedding. Happy 1 week anniversary, guys!
I have to add this adorable photo that Amber sent of Nolan. Gary calls this Nolan's GQ shot.
We hope that you all have a fun, relaxing Labor Day weekend. What is everyone doing?

Oh, so your parents are "way older?" I don't mind being a Grandma at all, I'm excited about it, but I tend to disagree with your remark!!!!! Yes Abigail is very beautiful, it's so exciting that she's here!! I guess I'll forgive you.....

Congratulations everyone - she's precious! I thought Renee would be having a c-section with twins- her doc wants to try natural?
This weekend we're doing alot of traveling. Brian's grandma is quite sick in the hospital. So we're off to see her, then to Brooklyn to hang out with my fam. Ben has promised us some of his yummy shrimp. Then off to see my Grandpa in Detroit before we head back to Holland. We've delegated Monday to hang out with Brian's family at their cottage - although the weather is going to be a drag. Oh well - I have my knitting!

I think it's Renee who wants to deliver instead of having a c section. The boy is baby A and he's head down. The girl is diagonal but they think that she'll go head down once the boy is out.
Mom, if you weren't commenting on blogs then you'd just be "old." We teased her because when we first found out that Sarah was pregnant, later that week or day mom asked for help with the VCR. We attributed it to her new status as "grandma." If my mom actually WAS old, I wouldn't tease her about it. She's very young!
