Escape of Notions

Abigail Rose Trumbull arrived on Dec 16, 2008 at 8:49 am after 23 hours and 49 minutes of labor. She was 8 pounds 2 ounces, and 20 and 3/4 inches in length. She is scarfing down 2 ounces already. Bren had a bit of trouble during labor with her Bp. They stabilized her at one point at 51/30. And, the baby's heartbeat got to 188 once too. Thankfully, they both are fine. Bren said G cried and cried when she popped out. I have a NIECE!!! I'm happy because I have 4 nephews, and 3 sons. Abbey is our first girl on this side of the family!

She is on the way. Sissy is being induced today because of pre clampsia. Abbey will be here soon! Whoopi!

I'm a true girly girl.  I love pink, lime green, and purple.  Frilly dresses were a must.  And, Dolls...I LOVE Dolls!  My mother made sure I had the very best of everything.  She was unfortunate growing up and said if she could, her children would be provided with things she didn't have.  Well, I love Dolls!  Every Christmas, birthday, or outing with my grandmothers added dolls to my collection.  This is Liz Locket from the Little Kiddle collection.  They were 2-3 in babies in lockets you wear around your neck.  They don't make them anymore, and I couldn't tell you where my kiddles are.  Liz Locket was my favorite.  I also had a purple one, and an orange one.  Can't remember their names though.

I have my wooden baby bed that Santa gave me when I was 3 or 4 years old.  My sister is having a baby girl, and I'm going to redo my baby bed for her.  I didn't have girls, only boys, so they weren't in need of a doll bed.  But, I hope Abigail will enjoy the doll bed as much as I did.  the cardboard bottom busted out of it, and my daddy added a wooden bottom.  Can't wait to see her playing with it!  Watch her be a tom boy; just my luck.  More dolls to come.
