Dearest Abigail Jane
Today you will turn one month old!! I can't believe how fast time seems to go by now that I finally have you in my arms. It is amazing to me how much love I have for you. The moment I laid eyes on you in the delivery room I was overcome with the strongest divinely love. Instantly I felt the emotion rushed through me. Gratitude that the Lord would trust me with one of his precious daughter, nervous on how I would be a mommy, and excited to have you in our family forever. The daughter that we have been praying and fasting for. The precious moment of watching your kicks, your big bright eyes, rocking you to sleep, and yes, even those sleepless nights bring Mommy the greatest fulfillment. You give me and your Daddy the greatest joy possible. We love you!
Your first month of life has been quite eventful. After we were released from the hospital Grandma Wadsworth came and stayed with us. She was incredibly helpful as I learned how to be a mommy and you adapted to your new life here on earth.
When Grandma Wadsworth had to leave, Grandma Hunter came down all the way from Canada to be with us. She was so excited to meet you.

She also gave you your very first bath

She was also here when we took you on your first walk.
You also met a lot of your cousins this month.
Meeting your counsins Hannah and Carter- they are only two months older than you!
Meeting Kira and Lu- actually Kira is your first cousin once removed, but we'll just say cousin :)
And here are more cousins you met- Daniel, Joshua, and Issac
You had a rough time at first getting used to your body. Your Jandice counts went up so high so fast the doctors had us spend your 1 week birthday in the hospital just so you could get better. It was really hard on all of us to watch you go through that, but we are grateful for modern medicine. Afterward, we visited the doctor for your two week check up and you did great!!! You were in the 95th percentile in height (you grew 1 1/2 inches in two weeks!) and 17th percentile in weight (so we need to fatten you up a bit ;)
We love you so very much Abby Jane. Thanks so much for being apart of our family.
Now for some of our favorite pictures. :)
