Fri. the 9th I had an appt. with the dr. The plan was to induce in the morning if I felt so inclined...otherwise more monitoring on Sun. and inducing Mon. or Tues. at the latest.
By Fri. night when I went to bed I was pretty sure I would be waking up in labor or at least have a decent start at it if inducing was actually necessary. We went to bed...only to get up and go to the hospital at 1:30am...
Miss Aubrey Jean arrived at 4:30am after a mild labor and quick delivery. The dr. was 20min. away and barely made it in time to give my delivery a wonderful ending.
Our 9lb 20 1/4in little girl has a very loud voice when she wants to be heard! :)
So happy there was no inducing ...and that my baby's finally in my arms! After waiting an extra 11 days she came on just the day her Daddy suggested. :)
The rest of the hospital stay was a blur...
and we brought miss Aubrey home on Sun. afternoon...
to lounge around in her slippers...
and snuggle down in her own cozy bed.
Miss Kate was SOO pleased to finally have Aubrey home!
Here's some pictures for comparison of all my babies in the hospital
Aubrey

And some of each of them at 3-5 days old.

So I've been told that the non-facebook people in my life would like to see some pictures so I thought I better take the time to post some for ya. Sorry it took so long, but here's all the ones that have been posted so you're not missing out. Prepare yourself for a load of pictures.
checking out their new sister
Tay-O did NOT want to hold her and flattened himself back into the corner, but did at least inspect her closely. :)
Kate lovin' having the girl she wanted so much!
4 days old
her cute little slippers
Elliott "hodin' baby's fingas"
Smile!
On a side note...These shoes came in the mail with some clearance stuff I ordered for next summer and are way to big still, but the kids love to clomp about the house in them, tripping clumsily along. It has been a great source of entertainment for all of us. :)
They enjoy leaping off the hearth in them and Tay-Os knees come up and his feet fly out with toes pointed outward and heels together, landing with a splat like a kangaroo or a giant bunny rabbit. It is quite comical to watch. :D
So ends our mile long post. Good night all. I'm off to catch a few winks before miss Aubrey makes herself known. We just picked 620 lbs of apples this afternoon so I'm needing my rest tonight. :) (hey they were free and this year we have a truck...last year I was limited as I only had the trunk of the car to fill)

OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations you guys, she is so perfectly beautiful! I just found out the news this very moment and I want you to know that I am extremely excited for you. I positively LOVE LOVE LOVE her name. And I just have to say it one more time... she is SO beautiful. Really, she is a doll!
Congratulations! I love that she has such a fun birthdate. :) We have those very same slippers... in brown and blue actually. And 620lbs of apples in ONE afternoon with a newborn?!?? All I can say is WOW! You inspire me with all you get done!
:-) She is SO cute, and I love her name. So glad she's such a good baby for you--one of these Sundays I'm holding her!!!
Forgot to tell you that we were talking about making pictures out of words in Sunday School like the Bible does in Psalm 23, and Kate's word picture she came up with was that Baby Aubrey's head was as soft as her favorite new blanket. I thought that was too cute. :-)
Yay! finally got a chance to be on line!! She is a doll! looks like she's your darkest, and she got the funny little long toes that fit right in with her brother and sister. love the pic of her coming home in the car seat, they always make the seat look sooo big!
