Wonderful news about the surgery, awesome!! Great job Abby and thank you to all the doctors and nurses for a job well done. And of course hugs and kisses to the Abby Fan Club. She is a lucky little girl.
Andrew's surgery earlier this year went really quickly too, that is such a blessing, less waiting for mommy and daddy. :) XOXOXOXOXO |

Congratulations, I'm so happy to hear that things are going good. I think of you often as my family has been through this type of thing with the twins when they arrived early. My prayers and thoughts are with you, your husband and Abby as she has her operation today. Hope to see you and her before I retire. Once again Congratulations!!

| She is so beautiful Todd and Kristin!! It is so wonderful to be able to get pictures so easily these days!!! She will have to join Rebekah and Jacey when we have girls day at Grandma Mary's. :) I'm sure Carolyn would be my assistant. Or perhaps we'lll start with a boys day for Sam, Harrison, and Brenden with William as Grandma's helper...What fun days ahead. Love and prayers for each and everyone of you. |

We are SOOOO happy to have another GIRL in the family!! She is very cute! Abby, your family, the dr's and nurses are on TWO prayer chains reaching over 500 people - they are in GOD's hands and all will be GOOD! I will be praying for you all tomorrow anxiously awaiting news of the surgery!!! May God bless you all!!! (I may have to be like Monica and have the site up on my work computer!!!) Let me know if Sam needs a change of scenery - he can come hang out with us for the day!!!
LOVE YOU ALL!!!! |

All of you will be foremost in our minds tomorrow morning as Abby heads into surgery. It is so hard to have them go through it at such a young age (Benjamin's first surgery was at 8 days old), but I'm sure it's for the best. I like the idea of a 'back-up' for her. Those 3 hours will be the longest 3 hours of your lives, but then you will see your beautiful little girl again and feel this marvelous feeling that she is getting closer to being released from the NICU.
She is a beautiful baby girl and I'm sure she outshines all the other babies in the NICU. Give her lots of kisses from Texas!

| Love the picture, she is precious! We're not used to seeing pink anything at this house, let alone pink headbands. I thought all babies came with hats?? Zack and George said an extra prayer for Abby tonight so she will be in good hands. I also asked our prayer chain from church to pray for her during surgery. We love you all. |

| Yeah!!! I'm so excited for the two (I mean 4) of you!!! She is so adorable! I know you LOVE Sam, but Kristin, having a girl is so much fun. Well, until they get sassy (as Allie has these last few weeks). I never knew how much I'd LOVE pink. I always said, if I had a girl... purple, but NO PINK. I was wrong! I love the name Abby and can't wait to meet her! Congratulations! One day when you're recovered from surgery maybe you, Abby, Allie and I can all rock some headbands and get out for a mother/daughter walk! Love you!!! |
