Story Abigail was born on October 9, 2012. She was 8 pounds 2 ounces and 19 inches long.
I found out I was pregnant at around 3 weeks in and she was a week and a half late. It seemed like my pregnancy was never going to end. I told myself next time I think I'm pregnant, I'm waiting at least a month before peeing on the stick.
She broke her clavicle on her travels into this world. I think she was trying to be just like Daddy, who had broken his around the same time we find out we were pregnant. She had to be wrapped up to keep her arm still for a few weeks. I knew the moment the doctor said we had to keep her still, we were in trouble.
Throughout my entire pregnancy, Story Abigail never stopped moving (and she still hasn't). The average doctors appointment would take us two to three times longer because they could never get her to stay put long enough to check her heartbeat. Even during labor she was wiggling and kicking all around. And just because the doctor said she had to keep still did not mean she was going to listen. She'd be wrapped in a receiving blanket with two strips of foam strapped around her little body, yet somehow, she would get free. If you didn't know she was broken, you never would of guessed.
At her first checkup, just three days old, she was lifting her head and doing pull ups on her doctors finger. She was unbelievable. Even the doctor asked me if I was sure that she was just 3 days old.
Within a couple of weeks, we found out that our little princess was allergic to milk. She had pimples like a 15 year old pizza face. Wasn't gaining any weight. And was full of never ending gas. Within 1 week of switching her over to soy formula, she was up a whole 2 pounds...the Chunker Munker was born.
