Now, granted, sometimes the dream is a bit fuzzy from lack of sleep. Abigail nursed every 2 hours around the clock for the first 2 days. Today, we are working on a 3-hour schedule. I met that with a bit of protest this morning. ;) Eric and Nanny were a bit sleepy the first 2 days from caring for everyone. Thanks, Nanny, for all of your help- Eric really appreciated it!
At other times, the dream is a bit tear-filled. Abigail tends to think she should be nursing or be held... nothing else. Other littles don't quit understand why things are so upside down. Of course, we parents are calm and never tear-filled. ;) Oh, except when I nurse- it has been so painful! From the moment she came out, Abigail has shown herself to be THE STRONGEST nurser of all of our children. Ouch!
But overall, our dream-like days are sweet. What JOY to hold and kiss our daughter! What JOY to see our children delight in another sister! What JOY to see Nanny love on her 11th grandchild during her visit.
Enjoy the pictures! I'll try to post some of the boys holding Abigail soon. All of the boys have colds, so they have been limited in how much they can hold Abigail right now. None of them like that very much but I keep reassuring them that Abigail is here to stay!

Why is there a bird landing on her head? LOL
I know, I know! I noticed it after I posted. Oh, well. But isn't it a cute bouncer seat? LOVE the pink & brown... though Eric would say we need more purple! :)
Birth announcement? Hope it comes soon! Kathryn is so interested in seeing baby Abigail. Maybe it will help if she has a picture to hold until we get to see her.
Love your craft room!
so cute! Auntie Karen
I am a bit curious....are there two grandkids out there not claimed? We have 5 and you have 6...Matt said it must be that Ohio math education! LOL congrats on the adorable new addition! :-)
She is beautiful. Please send Nanny a kiss and hug for our girls (we have not seen them in so long we too are having withdrawls). I hope you all are well.....looks like you are. Hugs to you all! :)
Not Ohio math- just nursing hormones! I'll go change the post- thanks! :)
Oh my Heather! It sounds like you got a carbon copy of Michaela! :)
I remember it felt like I nursed her 24-7 and she was a little baricuda nurser! I dreamed I was nursing a squirrel not a baby. It sure felt like a squirrel nawing at me at times. I hope you get to feeling less sore soon. I lived on Lansinoh for a good 2 months! Oh and if she is anything like Michaela she'll be 15 lbs by the time she's 3 months! :)
She is SO cute! Enjoy her! I wish I could come visit and bring a meal! Man, I wish I could move your state closer to KS! But it is nice to get a Tully update on here!
Jess,
Yep, we think Abigail will be heavy-weight. :) (Well, at least as long as she is nursing. All Tullys end up skinny.) And, yes- I LOVE Lansinoh!
Oh, and I wish I could move several states closer so I could visit with more friends. But praise God for blogs, emails, phones & visits!
Love how she matches her bouncy seat!! TOO CUTE!
