Big Changes

Oh August, how long ago you were! I didn't post the last few weeks of my pregnancy because I kept thinking "she's going to be here soon; I'll just wait until I have news." But she wasn't here soon. She kept baking and baking. Finally, at week 41, I was induced. It wasn't something I wanted to do, but my body wasn't cooperating and it didn't look like that was going to change by waiting another week.
So Abigail Lynn joined us on September 21st at 12:41 in the afternoon. She was 7 pounds, 12.5 ounces and has all her working bits, which is nice. She has the Russell nose and the Butler toes and we'll see where the rest pans out. She doesn't play any instruments--yet, but she loves music and does most of her talking when the tunes are on.
