Abbie Diane Bilbao


































Not too many pics, but here she is. I'll try to get more on later. We went in today (2-18-11) at 6:30 am to be induced. The process started a little slow, it took 3 pokes of the IV to get it to work. They actually had to go get the one nurse who puts IV's in babies to get one in tif (she's such a baby, ha ha ha). Anyway, they got it in finally around 8:30 am. We then played the waiting game for several hours, constantly getting checked and measured. Around 3:00 pm the nurse checked her again, turned to us and said "You're done", as if the bun in the oven was completely cooked and ready to come out! She paged the doctor and said he'll be here in "10" minutes. Well, 10 minutes later he came in and Tif started to push. She pushed for 10 minutes is all and baby Abbie was here. She weighed 6 pounds 11 ounces and was 19.5 inches long. She so far has been a very calm and quiet baby, we know that will change soon but are enjoying the peaceful new baby. Cody absolutely LOVES his new baby sister. He has waited patiently for her to come for long time now, and she is finally here. He loves to hold her on his lap (with dad's help of course), give her kisses, and pat her tummy. He is so funny around her. We are so happy to have her here and that both are doing good and healthy. Hopefully I'll get new pictures up soon, but I make no promises!
