Abigail was due on January 3rd, but I was scheduled to be induced on December 27th. I thought that was a perfect date. We wouldn't be in the hospital on Christmas, and she would share it with our anniversery! On the 26th I woke up feeling not so great, but thought, "We'll just head off to church and everything will be just fine. I can hold this baby in for another day!" I played the hymns and had a few contractions and hit a few bad notes, and gave Joe "the look". I told him after sacrament that I was headed home and he might want to come along pretty quick. We were scheduled to have a late Christmas dinner with family that day and I was so upset at the thought of ruining it. We headed to the hospital that evening and Abigail was born at 6:30 p.m. When the doctor handed her to me the first thought that went thru my mind was "Did they just switch her with another baby down there, because MY babies are bald and skinny. And RED HAIR?! Where did that come from?" When they cleaned her up and brought her back to me, they had put a pretty Christmas bow in her hair and I thought that they were the nicest nurses ever. (little did I know that they do that for every baby girl, but hey, she was my first!)

Love the ton of red hair on that newborn! Blake didn't start out with red hair, his was brown with blonde tips like he'd been to a salon just before he entered the world, but he does have a December birthday, so I guess they have something in common! Happy Birthday (a little late) Abigail!
She is so cute! By the way i love the family pic
Oh my goodness! I love that second to last chubby picture. Is there anything more scrumptious than a chubby baby? And the red hair is just icing on the cake. Happy Birthday to a sweet little girl!
p.s. LOVED your Christmas newsletter and family pic. Taber and I had our jaws dropped to the floor when we saw how tall Joseph is!! That guy has definitely gone on a growth spurt since we left! love you guys and hope you had a great Christmas!
She is just beautiful! Happy Belated Birthday, Abby!
Now we know that we are Anniversary Twins!
