Christmas Eve

Christmas post still to come, but just wanted to post these photos from Christmas Eve.

We have started a family tradition of visiting Hannah's grave every Christmas Eve morning. It brought up a lot of emotions sitting at her grave this year with another baby there with us - I guess I still find it hard to comprehend that Hannah is no longer here with us, but that we do have another baby who is here. I know I have a daughter in heaven, and I know I have a daughter here on earth, but sometimes my mind struggles to comprehend the fact that both of those things are equally true. It's hard to understand having daughters in both places.

We decorated Hannah's grave for Christmas.

Hannah Grace, we love you and miss you at lot again this Christmas.

Welcome, Abigail!!

Our rainbow baby has arrived!!! Abigail Sophia arrived safely at 10:51am on October 28th, 2012. Everything went well and she is healthy and thriving :) We are so in love with her!

We are so excited to have her here with us, and enjoying every moment with her! We certainly don't take anything for granted any more. Abigail is beautiful, and has fitted in really well; and we are so thankful to have her at home with us.

Coming home at 3 days old! What a blessing, we never got this moment with Hannah.

She looks a lot like her older sister! She has the same little nose, and some of the same facial expressions too. It's a sweet reminder of Hannah Grace, but also hard at times because I look at Abby and miss Hannah a lot. If Hannah was still here I'm sure she would be enjoying her new little baby sister.

 

4 weeks old

 

Abigail is actually 5 weeks old now, but life with her is so busy so I haven't had a chance to come on here and update my blog until now! But wanted to announce that she has arrived :)
