Sarah and I had such a hard time choosing names this time. We thought about Emma, Ava, Olivia, Nicole, Hannah and many others, but ultimately settled on "Abigail" / Abby in large part because it means "a father's joy".
Even before I met her, that was exactly how I felt about her; joyful. When I found out we were having a girl I had this overwhelming sense of completeness. I'm deeply in love with my wife, I have the most wonderful, sweet, fun son whose personality I love, and I have a beautiful daughter who I know will steal my heart.
I feel like the main character at the end of Facing the Giants when, in prayer, out of thankfullness for all God did for him, he says "God, I'm overwhelmed". My cup runneth over!!

More Abby Grace pics
Sarah's cousin Ana
Jenna and Sarah BOTH in the hospital at the same time. Mike joked about the future Mr/Mrs Isaac Sady and while I love the Sadys I cringed. No boy will be good enough!
Sweet cousins and BFF!
Already snuggling with Oma
Ethan got gifts from Abby each time he came to visit. He loves Thomas the train.
You had me at "waahh". I'm in love!

Abigail Grace Thompson
We welcomed little Abby Grace on Monday 2/11 at 1:13PM (you can call her Abigail or Abby). She was 9lbs 30z, 21.5 inches and her head was 15 inches. The doctors were happy Sarah chose a planned c-section (the head size would have made things interesting).
We're not sleeping much but she's so sweet and beautiful, she's well worth it!
I think she'll look like her mama!
Snuggling with Mamanina
Papi and Nina are thrilled!
Ohhhhh....
OK this is mainly of Henry, but I think he's adorable! Look at that sweet face.
Don't be fooled, she only does this during the day time. Nights are "interesting"

Baby Bunch Becomes Baby Jack!
We got to meet John (Jack) Hayes Bunch tonight! He continues the Jagger girls' tradition of having large babies, coming in at 10 lbs 5 oz! Other statistics... 20.5 inches, 15 inch head!, born at 1:34PM 12-20-07.
Here are some pictures of Baby Jack, who we already love! In fact right now, I'm tempted to drive back to the hospital just to hold him a bit more (but I'd better let Becky rest!)

Our First Glimpse from the waiting room
MUCH MUCH cuter than a button!

Sweet Girl
I miss my original "baby girl" who was just starting to be my "old girl".
Unfortunately we didn't have a digital camera for the first 5 or so years of our time with her, but here are a few pics that make me remember her personality fondly.
You probably all know, but just in case, Sunny got terminal (and painful) cancer so we had to say goodbye to her. We got her about 3 weeks after we were married and she was 7 weeks old, so she's been part of our lives, our family, our marriage, for 8 and a half years.
For two sentimentally inclined people like Sarah and I this was a difficult parting, but we are so SO happy we have so many memories of the sweetest, most gentle dog I've ever known. It's also given Sarah and I a chance to share many wonderful memories with each other as we talk through our emotions. We've had a lot of great times together!
Love you Sunny girl...
