Well, it's been a busy, wonderful, exhausting and blessed week for the Price family. Abigail was 1 week old yesterday and much has happened in a week. When we left the hospital Abigail was slightly jaundiced so we spent each day last week in the pediatricians office for a heel prick to check her bilirubin levels. On Thursday, after daily elevations they decided to treat her with a "bili blanket." Her levels are coming down and we hope that after a recheck tomorrow that she can come off of her blanket treatment. In addition to being jaundiced Abigail has been diagnosed with reflux which has caused difficulty and discomfort with feedings. She is on two medications with hopes that after a month or so she can come off of both. Despite her medical needs she is such a sweet, sweet baby. She rarely gets upset and has been such a trooper. Gill and I have enjoyed loving on her, changing her, feeding her and learning how to be parents. We are both humbled at the Lord's many blessings and sweet care of all three of us. Children are truly a gift from God and we thank Him for blessing us with Abigail.

Abigail's Arrival!
Abigail McGill Price arrived at 5:25 pm on May 23, 2008 weighing in at 7 pounds 0 oz. and 20.5 inches long. She's absolutely perfect and we're enjoying every second with her. Who knew you could watch a baby for hours in total amazement? :)
Here are the pictures of our little one. We think she's the most beautiful baby we've ever laid eyes on!
