Elli LaRae Abbott was born on Friday December 18th! She was 7 lbs 1 oz and 19 inches long. She was born 2 and a half weeks early, but still as healthy as can be. I went in for an appointment with Dr. Smith on Thursday and he found out that she was breech so he sent me up to a specialist the next day to see if he could turn her. We were already going up north for the wrestles and to go shopping so it wasn't a big deal to drive to Provo. Well the Doctor up there found out I had placenta previa so he said he couldn't turn her and he felt it would be best to do a C Section right then. By 2:30 that day little Elli was here! It was the weirdest day ever. One second I was planning on going to the wrestles and the next second I was having a baby! It's weird to think that she still shouldn't be here til the second of January! Because we weren't expecting to have her yet she had no clothes to wear, we had no camera, we weren't done Christmas shopping! We just weren't prepared! Next time I'll be already a month in advance just in case.
I'm definitely not a photographer but I thought this tutu was cute! Grandma Rae got it for her for Christmas. She is such a beautiful baby. I can't believe how hard it is to go anywhere with three kids, but other then that Elli hasn't added to much difficulty to our routine. It'll be a lot harder I'm sure when School starts for me on the 11th!
The kids both love her to death! Addi wants to hold her all the time and she's pretty curious about how Jesus gets milk into my body! :) She is such a funny little thing!
Jet loves her too and wants to give her kisses a lot. Jake thinks it's so funny that she sucks on everything so he tried it on Jet's finger and obviously Jet thought it was pretty amusing! 
We had a really great Christmas! It's so fun to see how happy your kids are when they open their presents. We spent Christmas at Jake's house, but because we're both from Delta we are able to do pretty much everything with both families.
Addi couldn't get enough Christmas presents to open. She loved everything about it! I can't believe how much things change every year. Addi's already excited for next Christmas!
