First, they waited to find out the gender of their baby. But, that was their choice!
Then, they had to wait a bit longer than normal to meet their baby. The little one was just too comfy in the womb to come out, I guess. BUT, like I tell all my students, a baby won't stay inside forever!
An average pregnancy is actually 41 weeks and 1 day. Abby and Chris were expecting their baby to arrive some time around August 19. The due date came and went, as most due dates do. So they kept on waiting, and waiting, and waiting.
Finally, on August 25, their baby decided they had waited long enough and that it was time to change their lives forever.
Ronan Christopher made his grand entrance into the world at 7:56 pm. He weighed in at 7 pounds and 15 ounces and measured 20 inches long. He really wasn't all that big for being so "late." Just goes to show that babies come when they are ready, not when we think they should!!!
I am sure Abby and Chris will tell you that all that waiting was worth it!
