Introducing Abigail Hope...

Friday, August 10, 2007

That's right,everyone - as of this morning Abigail Hope Vernon has been officially welcomed into the family. Lori did amazing and things progressed pretty quickly: we left for the hospital at 6:00 am and were holding our baby girl at 10:30. I will let her share all the details with you over the next week, but here are the vitals:

Date: August 10th, 2007 - 10:30 am
Weight: 3,550 grams :: 7lbs 13ounces
Length: 55 cm :: 21.5 inches
Everything Else: PERFECT

We are overjoyed, ecstatic, awestruck and amazed. Praise God for this beautiful baby girl!

Here are a couple of pictures to hold you all over until we are back home with a camera and computer (sorry, no thumbnails and I didn't resize them so they are pretty big. If you want easy pictures wait for our next posts)

Praising the Lord together with you. Couldn't wait to see what the news was after returning last night from China. Great joy to find you had gone to the hospital. After sleeping 15 hours straight, I awoke to the great news of Abigail's safe arrival. Rejoicing in God's goodness. Love and hugs to all, Christy Austin

Congratulations on your daughter! She is fantastic. I think she might be at least .25% Akha. Rest well and kiss that baby for me.
