Tessa!!
Abbey here. I am updating this with pics of my beautiful and perfect new niece, Tessa Lee, for all of the Smith and Lee families and friends to enjoy. And if you have ever looked at my blog since my own child was born, you know that I like LOTS of pictures :)
So Bog had contractions on and off for about 12 hours at home (right, Bog?), and on the evening of the 2nd, they finally were strong and regular enough that they went in to the hospital and luckily they let them stay. She was dilated to a 3 at that point so they started a little pitocin to get things moving. She got the epidural which finally gave her relief from feeling exhausted from hours of contractions, and it was smooth sailing from there. She and Dave were able to get some sleep for a few hours until they woke her up to say it was time to start pushing! Due to her extraordinary skills, she only had to push for 20 minutes and out came their beautiful little girl at 3:51 a.m. So overall, the labor and delivery went really well. Tessa was 7 lbs 8 oz, and 20.5 inches long. She is a sweet little angel and loves cuddling her Mama. She has already done great at nursing - hopefully she will keep it up! Dave is as proud as they come, and wants to hold his little girl every second, and Bog is already equipped with the natural, tender, maternal skills needed to care for her little babe. They love her to pieces. Here are some pictures for our families, and Bog promises to post pictures on a regular basis :)

Becca and Dave have pointed out that she has the "Lee" lines on her cheeks under her eyes.

She has LOTS of thick hair in back, and some on top as well. While we all know Becca will have so much fun with her hair one day, right now she is just enjoying her as she is, sweet and innocent without all the frill. Precious.
Doting Grandfather.
She has a lot of chub in her cheeks and chin, but the rest of her is tiny.
Pure joy.
Dave was happy to bring this little bunny for his girl to snuggle.

We went to the beach :) We went to a nice dinner :) And I am so thankful for my sweet sweet hubby and the awesome flowers he got me!
I love you Dave and am so grateful for the perfect life we have together.

I have started Gardening
One dream I have for our future is that One day we will have a big back yard where I can grow a big garden full of things that keep us self sufficient in times of need. I love the idea of being able to provide our own food and stuff so....
I decided to start practicing.
The only gardening experience I have is pulling weeds in my parents back yard.
The only space I have is on my tiny back deck.
BUUUUUUUUUUUT, I'm trying anyway.
Dave got into it too! Literally :)
Me watering my plants for the first time.
Red Bell Peppers, Cucumbers, and Strawberries
I know that it is late in the year to start planting, but with a lot of water and a lot of love, hopefully my first practice will be a little success.
The lil guys on our deck.
Wish me luck!!!
