This past week I have been overwhelmed with all the blessings I have received from my Father in Heaven. I am so grateful that I have been trusted with three beautiful children and that they are all in good health. I am grateful for my wonderful husband and for everything that he does for our family. I have been amazed at the support we have received from family, friends, neighbors and ward members. We have had so many meals brought over, had help getting the boys too and from school, and received phone calls offering help with the kids. Susan helped stock our kitchen and freezer, did laundry and cleaned the house so that I wouldn't have to play "catch up" after she left. I am also grateful that I am recovering quickly from the c-section and feel much better physically than I expected to. I was very nervous to have a baby away from all of our family and our "home," but having little Abbi out here has been such a witness to me that our Heavenly Father watches over and cares for his children. I have no doubt that I have been blessed.
Picture disclaimer: After looking at these pictures I realized that Abbi is naked in all of them. I guess I should point out that we have LOTS of fun, girly clothes for her, but until yesterday she was on the billi lights and we couldn't really get her dressed. There will be many more pictures coming of our clothed baby girl.

I noticed she was naked but we had the same thing when Austin was on the bili lights. I LOVE that you have photos with everyone holding her. LOVE that she has a bow in her hair even though she is naked.
Shauni she is just the most precious thing!! I want a turn to hold her! I am glad your recovery is going good, that can be rough! I am so glad you have had so much help I just wish we could come out too! I love all of the pictures, especially the first one!
Shauni! She is beautiful! I am so happy that you are feeling good. We were in Utah this weekend and got to see your family - it was so fun, but we missed you!
Abbi is beautiful. Having a girl is so much fun! I glad to hear you are recovering fast and that your little family is doing so well.
She is beatiful and looks so healthy! I am glad she is off the bili lights- that is such a pain and is so crappy to keep going to get her blood drawn. Hope you continue to feel well and recover quickly.
Shauni, what a sweet post. You are a beautiful little family and we are so happy that Abbi has joined our family. It was so great to be with you all, I miss the boys so much--especially their funny little comments and their hugs and kisses. I'm so glad that you are feeling so good--remember to get your rest...
She's like a week old and she's already smiling! What a little sweet heart. If it makes you feel better I didn't even notice she was naked because all I could focus on were her cute bows and blankets. I see Ammon has lost another tooth, I love it!
So she's off the bili lights now? Yeah!! It was so wonderful talking to you the other day, I really enjoyed it! It really is amazing to have a child and not be by family, the support is truly amazing. She looks so BIG and healthy!
She may not have any clothes on but she has very cute bows in her hair.
Congratulations Shauni! She is beautiful! I'm so happy for you! Glad that you are recovering well, and that things are going smoothly for you! Welcome to the mom of 3 club!
Nakey babies are just too cute! Lets you focus on the sweet little face and hands. And she is gorgeous!!! And I am so glad your recovery is going well and that you are being taken care of.
Shauni - I haven't talked to you in so very long. Your family is gorgeous. I am so happy for you and the blessings you obviously are continually given. Abbi couldn't be more beautiful. What a blessing it is for her to have you as her mother. I'm so happy you finally get to experience a daughter! Oh, what a trip you're in for!!!! GIRLS ARE THE BEST!!! I love you and miss you so much. You are so amazing and have always been such a great friend. You deserve all the happiness you have. Love you lots,
Lanae
