Abigail Jane Lombardo

I've emailed most everyone the news of our newest arrival, but there are a few whose e-mails I don't have. Abby was born Dec. 7th at 4:20 am. It was the scariest delivery of the 3, only because we barely made it to the hospital. I went into labor at 3:00 that morning, woke Aaron up at 3:15. We called my sister Susan at 3:20, she was over in 10 minutes. We got to the hospital at 4:10. They admitted me into an observation room and I had Abby 10 minutes later. We are so grateful that we live in Lehi now, since we certainly would have had her in the car if we still lived in Eagle Mountain.

She is a sweet little thing. Very similar to Hannah's temperment which was a very good set of vocals on her. :o) We have instantly fallen in love with her. Hannah calls her "my baby Abigail", and Nathan looks at her very awkwardly and confused. It's such a joy to be these children's parents. It's humbling beyond anything we've experienced and a great honor at the same time.

Something kinda funny is that all 3 of our children were born on the 7th of the month without us planning that. Aaron thinks that Vegas should pay him out for having triple sevens! Fat chance!!!

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!!

Ok, I just couldn't help myself!

I have to tell you that that was the day of FAST deliveries! One of my other friends had her baby on Sunday and they BARELY made it to the hospital before delivering in the ER. WHY are these babies so anxious to get here?! :)

We love you and are SO very happy for you!
