Wow I really thought that it would be easier to update the blog. But I have apparently underestimated the power of a 8lb 9oz infant.
We have been adjusting to parenthood. We love every minute of the sleep deprivation and funny faces that Abby makes. We have been trying out different feeding philosophies to learn which one works well for us and for Abby. She is still running the show.
It's hard to believe that tomorrow she will be 4 weeks old already! She is growing so fast and the time simply slips away. We are trying our best to capture it on film and video (though she doesn't do a whole lot yet).
On Wednesday she will be a month old...30 days..it's an emotional number of days. The number of days that we had with her sister Faith. 30 days with both girls has been a roller coaster of emotion. Both different journeys. It's hard to cope with the fact that from 30+ days we will be seeing things that Faith could have been doing. It breaks my heart and I miss her even more. We are so blessed to have Abby healthy and whole. On loan from God for what we hope to be a long life. We cherish every moment. Even in my most severe moments of frustration with Abby, I remind myself of how precious life is and that all of this is in God's plan for our family. I know that He did not intentionally bring us this pain, but because of things I don't understand He has helped us find peace, strength and purpose.
I haven't uploaded any new photo's yet, so those will all come at a later post.
Have a blessed and peaceful night. The boss is calling :)
Love,
Amy, Steve, Faith and Abby

I remember hitting the milestone where Ayla reached the age that Gabe passed....it's tough, but because of Faith you will never take one minute or moment for granted with Abby. Faith will always be with you, Steve, and Abby.
Love you all, and thinking of you always! Give Abby kisses for us!
It has been a while since we talked, but I wanted to say hello and congratulations! Abby is beautiful, and looks a little like Faith (in the black and white photo). Hope to see you at the RMH dinner, you wont believe how big Shayla has gotten.
God bless you all, Karrie Mallia.
I cannot imagine how much you miss Faith but I am sure she's watching over you and Abby from Heaven.
