Abigail is Here!
I still can’t believe how fast it happened. Mom and I both knew that something was definitely going on Thursday night, but I’m not quite sure we knew we would have a new daughter by the next evening. I guess little Abigail has a mind of her own already.
I’m writing this post as I sit in the hospital room. Mom, Abby, and I are all working on getting to know each other. So far everything has went very well. Mom is doing good, despite having to have a C-section; Abby is gorgeous and is doing very well too; Dad is still trying to get all the routines down. And yes, I have already changed quite a few dirty diapers.
She was born on Friday evening at 6:08. She weighed 7lbs 11ozs and she was 21 inches long. She sure made it quite a struggle for mom. But I don’t think, at this point, that mom really cares about all the things Abby put her through. It has been fast and furious, but we wouldn’t change it for anything.
I will be staying home for a couple weeks to help out around the house and help to take care of my future huntress. I will attempt to get some pictures posted of her in her camo outfit too.
Hunting, and all outdoor-related activities are going to suffer for a little while. I don’t care though. I wouldn’t trade any of this for the world.
Don’t be alarmed if the posts aren’t as frequent in the next few weeks. It is only because I am sleeping when it is available, rather than writing a post. It is going to be great though, and I am very much looking forward to it.
I will be sure and keep doing updates every once in awhile. And Jeff will still be hunting so I will be sure to keep everyone informed on how his hunting activities go as well.
I’m a daddy!!!! I’ve already convinced her that Michigan State is the way to go with college sports. Hopefully I can convince that hunting is a good way to go as well.
Check me out in this photo. And here I thought you had to go through all those years of medical school to wear an outfit like that.

She’s gorgeous. See you later.
Outstanding, Arthur! She is a beautiful baby. Mom also looks pretty happy after all she must have went through. From an experienced father, let me give you a little advice. Get some rest!! Mom will need you know more than ever for awhile.
God bless, little Abagail!!
Congratulations! I clicked on your site this morning thinking, “I bet Arthur got a deer.” Turns out you had posted the only news that could be better.
This is indeed thrilling Arthur. The best part of your life began Friday night. Again: congratulations, congratulations, congratulations!
Congratulations to you and Jen on the arrival of your new huntress, Abby.

I look forward to reading all about your adventures as you introduce Abby to the great outdoors.
Congratulations again!
How Awesome! She really is beautiful & we’ll understand if you aren’t around as much…
Oh, and I had a C-Section too, you’re right, Mom will need your help for the next few weeks. It’s amazing how long your midsection stays sore…
Congratulations to all of you!
Wow, guess I’m late to the party, what a beautiful baby girl. Now you can say you have your little deer, I mean dear this October. Enjoy the time with the new family! God Bless all of you!
Congrats man!
Congratulations! I’m glad everyone is doing well.
That picture of Mom and baby is priceless. Can’t wait to see all the Abby photos which I’m sure will now appear here.
Welcome to the world little Abagail! You’re going to like it here.
Congratulations! She is adorable, and I can’t wait to see pictures of her in camo! Glad to hear everything is going well.
Congratulations on your beautiful new baby. It sounds like you’re already a great dad. All the best to you and your wife. Treasure each moment.
Congratulations! I gotta admit that I got choked up reading a Daddy’s version of their daughter’s birth. It’s very touching when Men talk so personally about something so beautiful. You are truly blessed! Your daugher is precious. Do you think she and Sarah could hunt together this year? *wink*
OMG Congratulations!!!!!!
Congratulations to the new Mommy & Daddy!! & Welcome to the world Abby!! Can’t wait to see the camo outfit, I’m sure she will be adorable!
