We're all in LOVE with Aubrey!

Brotherly love, motherly love, fatherly love, and nannaly love...we've got it all over here!

BIG birthdays and little BIRTHDAYS!

We just celebrated Mike's 34th birthday. He's 1,773 weeks old now!

The boys helped Mike blow out the candles this year...all two of them. Now, what could Mike possibly wish for when he's holding his brand new baby girl? I think he skipped the wishes this year.

This is one of Mike's classis expressions. I just had to post it.

And here's our little birthday girl Aubrey at two weeks old! Connor asked, "Is she not zero anymore?"Here's our little sleeping beauty at two weeks old. I wonder how long the slumbering phase will last? It seems that she's staying awake for a few minutes longer during her awake times. She loves to look around and loves to just listen to the boys. It's been so neat to see her overnight changes.

Look who's happy to be HOME!

Aubrey and I are so happy to be home! We were discharged from the hospital last Sunday and my mom arrived Monday morning just in time to help us at home. Here are a few cute snapshots of Aubrey. I can't believe she's almost two weeks old. Her hands are starting to get chubby and she seems to be growing overnight!




She has been the absolute perfect baby given the circumstances. The whole time in the hospital, she slept a lot, and only needed to get me up once during the night to eat. That helped me so much while trying to recover from the surgery.



Since she has been home, she has started to "wake up" a little more. Aaron loves to hold her and burp her whenever he gets the chance. The boys love her very much, and are so happy she is finally home.

Update and More Pictures

As many of you know, Jen had to go back into the hospital to get her gallbladder removed. The operation was successful, and we have the 5 little gallstones to prove it! (Small but lethal little things).

While all of you readers are anxiously awaiting Jennifer's official post after the birth, I thought I would put up a few more cute pictures.

Sorry I don't have more of Jen...she hasn't been feeling up to taking too many pictures.

Introducing Aubrey Elizabeth!

3550 grams and 52 cm long (7 lbs 12 oz, 20 1/2 inches)

Mom and Baby are doing great. Jen, I am sure, will post some more about the experience, but I thought you readers (all 5 of you) would like to know now. Here are some more pictures...the next post will have a video...(after the birth...after!)

The boys have not seen her yet, but they were really excited today. Today Connor said over breakfast that he was so excited for Aubrey to come...he was going to show her how to walk, how to crawl, and how to watch TV!

Jen was at the hospital (she was induced, but it was going slow), and I had already come home to watch the boys. Jen called soon after I got home and said I better get back there. Aaron practically shoved me out the door...he said "I'll open the door for you" and "OK, now I will turn the light on for you" (in our entryway)..."now bye...see you later". = )

Can't wait to take them to the hospital tomorrow!

Wann kommt baby Aubrey Elizabeth?

7 out of 10 women deliver after their due date.
I guess I will always be one of those women!
Here are a few "full bloom" pictures.

When is baby Aubrey coming? The boys are anxious and excited for her arrival.

Aaron took this picture. He is quite the photographer. I love this picture.

You just gotta love the viewpoint of a four year old. Connor's picture really accentuates the positive...or should I say not so positive?

Our next post will most definitely be of Aubrey and hopefully it will be in a few days!
