Today, we went to visit our friend Amy at the hospital. She just had her baby boy and she named him Jacob. We couldn't take Abigail back into the room because the hospital here does not allow visitors in the birthing center under the age of twelve unless they are immediate family. So Mike sat with Abigail in the waiting room while I went back to see Amy. As I sat there on the recliner holding that precious little life in my arms, I tried to think back ten months ago. Funny thing though, I almost can't remember Abigail being so small and helpless. She was though. She was smaller than Jacob actually. I unwrapped his bundled blanket from around him so I could see his little fingers and toes. He took a deep breath and let out a big boy sized yawn. He didn't open his eyes the whole time I held him, he just rested peacefully. Absolutely adorable.When I got back out into the waiting room, there was my bouncing baby girl, making all the noise she could conjure up, and grinning ear to ear. She looked at me with her bright blue eyes as if I had been gone for days and she was just so happy to see me. She is growing fast, trying to walk by herself and in the process, obtaining more bumps and bruises than I can count. I sat down with her and she sat up on my lap and gave me a slobbery kiss. Absolutely adorable.
