Abigail Kathryn Martino

We are so excited to have another sweet little girl join our family. Abigail arrived Monday at 2:39 pm weighing 6 lbs 14 oz. and was 19 in. long. After my doctors apt. that morning I began having contractions. We arrived at the hospital at noon and I delivered a couple hours later. It was such a nice delivery and almost went to fast, but was a wonderful experience. She is so sweet and we feel so blessed to have such a beautiful healthy girl. Gracie played at her friend Logan's house that afternoon and came to the hospital later to meet her new sister. She was very cute with Abby and gave her lots of kisses.
Life is wonderful with two little girls. More pictures to come...

Congrats! I love the name you picked out. She looks so cute and little Grace is going to be the best big sister.

Erin said...

Yay! Congratulations! She's absolutely gorgeous and Gracie is so cute with her! Can't wait to see y'all soon!

She is so adorable!!! I am glad that everything went well for you, and hopefully your recovery goes smoothly too! Grace seems to really enjoy her, and I am sure will be a big help in the next couple of weeks...wait make that years!! Congrats!!!

So cute Emily!!! I'm so happy to see that everything went well and Abigail is here! She looks like Gracie to me. So I'm assuming you're home already? Good luck with everything! When Emmy was born and Scotty was 21 months I felt like I was constantly tending to someone's immediate needs. I never got to just sit down unless I was feeding Emily! (And of course still I had to get up once in awhile even then.) But at the same time transitioning to having Emily was a lot easier than Scotty and the recovery seems to be shorter. I hope it's the same for you! I hope your mom is coming out to help you. She's just adorable and so tiny! I miss little newborns!

CONGRATULATIONS MARTINOS!!! She is beautiful. It seems like just the other day when we visited you at the hospital when Grace was born and now to think Grace is a big sister. Abby is so adorable. Good luck over the next couple of weeks.

So cute! She looks like Grace but has her own look too. Love the name, that has always been one of Adam's favorites. Congrats to you guys... I am a bit jealous though. I am like a monsterous ticking time bomb waiting for this baby!

What a doll! She is beautiful and I am so glad you had such a good delivery. Come and visit soon because I can't wait to get my hands on her!

Eliza said...

I agree that she looks like Grace. What a sweetie. You Grahams and your fast labors! But you are such a champ though, I imagine that when it goes that quickly it's probably pretty intense!

Yay for baby sisters...so happy for you and enjoy these first few days at home.

Way to Go Emily and Ben - a beautiful baby girl!! All our best to all of you!!

With all the girls being born we hear about in our ward, I am happy to report that my nephews seem to be producing boys - so there will be someone to date at BYU in 18 years!
