Dear Abby,
Today you are 10 weeks old. 10 of the best weeks of our lives.
I think I can successfully say that you and I are starting to know each other. I'll admit, there was quite the transition stage, but we are understanding one another. You've started to take regular naps, and truth be told, I usually take one with you. It's usually what we both need.
You smile more often now. And you seem on the verge of giggling a lot. It warms my heart through and through. You even stop eating now and again to look up at me and give me a special grin.
A couple of weeks ago I took you to you doctor appointment to get your two month shots. You screamed. And I don't think it would have been so bad had you not looked at me with the saddest eyes right before the scream came. It. Broke. My. Heart.
You are finally starting to get some rolls on your legs, and developing quite the cute pot belly. I basically kiss you cheeks all day long. I can't get enough.
Dad and I still freak out over every thing you do. We call one another over to look at you with every new look or movement you do.
I can't believe how much you're changing! I don't know why nobody told me not to blink.
I love you, baby girl.
Your Mommy

Blessing Day
My Sweet Abby,
Sunday was your blessing day. I wanted to share a few of my thoughts with you, while they were still fresh in my mind.
That day will always be so special to me. I'll never forget the special spirit of the day, even as it started out. We spent the night at Grandma Smith's house, since the blessing was in Grace (it was the same day as Uncle Chase's farewell). While mom and dad were preparing some last minute preparations, you snuggled with Grandma and she rocked you to sleep.
As we dressed you, I almost got a little teary. You wore my blessing dress. You were so perfect all dressed in white. You snuggled up to me immediately - tired after a long morning. You slept through the meeting, while dad and I admired you. Aunt Traci even brought Makenna's old blessing shoes (since Mom didn't have time to find anyway from our insanely busy week).
I couldn't believe I was carrying my baby girl to receive her name and a special blessing. I reminded again of how you have enriched our lives, made us complete, you have made us a family.
As soon as the member of the bishopric announced your blessing, I got teary. Dad took you from my arms, and I lost it. The situation wasn't helped as I watched worthy men, who mean the world to our family, gather in a circle and support you up.
Dad gave you the most beautiful blessing. You are so lucky to have a dad worthy to hold the priesthood (which I know is God's power here on Earth) and be able to give you blessings like this. He made you promises of the future, of good health, and blessed you to find a worthy companion to make covenants with in the temple for eternity. He reassured you that you have been born to a family that loves you.
This blessing came straight from your Heavenly Father, Abby. He loves you. We love you. We are so lucky to have you in our lives.
I feel so inadequate to mother such a special girl. You have such a strong spirit. You are sweet. You are so loving. Your Heavenly Father has big plans for such an amazing spirit. I pray for His guidance to be able to be your mom.
I hope you know you are loved.I wish I could tell you just how much.
