A Big Week for Abigail

Abigail turned 3-weeks-old this past Tuesday. Amanda and Abigail celebrated throughout the week. Unfortunately, the Friends of Hudson River Park Gala on Thursday kept Jonathan pretty busy. The ladies, including Daphne, went outside for several walks all together this week, and Jonathan was even able to join them for a late night (that's 8:30 for us these days) ice cream run. And, at one point during the week, Abigail's Grandpa Ken took her for a long stroll around Prospect Park.

On a more official front, Abigail's papers all came this week. Now she has a birth certificate and a social security card. Without much in the way of pockets, though, we'll likely hold on to them for her for a while. But it's nice to know that now Abigail can get a job if she wants to start earning her own money.

Two weeks

It was two weeks ago that we became parents. And through the sleepless nights, the reading of What to Expect the First Year at 3am (which we do not recommend at that hour) and the lovely chirping sounds she makes at any hour of the day--we're having a great time.

Hope you enjoy the latest pictures of our "little package."

You'll also see a few pictures of Daphne, who just turned two yesterday! Happy birthday puppy dog!

It's a girl!!!

Yesterday morning, April 13th at 8:15am, we joyfully welcomed our beautiful baby daughter, Abigail Rose Ettinger, to this world weighing 6 pounds 6 ounces, measuring 19 1/4 inches, and with a full head of ash-blonde hair. We're just in awe of her.

We got home from the hospital this afternoon, after visits from one aunt, one uncle and all the grandparents. Baby and Mom are doing great, albeit tired.

Rollo's comin' any day now

Our baby is coming soon. 39 weeks pregnant and due April 15th. Stay tuned for some exciting news!

Belly rumble

There has been some serious movement in the belly. Rollo loves to move early in the morning or late at night. We're positive we're going to see a foot or hand popping out at any moment. Just two and half more months left!

Happy New Year

It struck both of us, as the clock struck midnight, that we're really going to become parents this year.

Preparations are being made for April

Daphne's first year of life is coming up soon and we're celebrating by throwing her a Bark Mitzvah!

Fink is deciding if she wants to come at all. After all, she could just have the whole house just to herself, which is really appealing.
