Introducing Audrey Anneliese

It's hard to believe it's been almost a week since I went into labor!  I was positive that our little girl was going to come late, but she came a day early.  We are so glad she did! Here's a glimpse of our lives with a baby.

Wearing her first cloth diaper

Sleeping...she does this a lot!

She spends a LITTLE bit of time doing this, too (not much though!)

We're all a bit tired around here, but we are doing well!!

Stick A Fork In Me.....

...Cause I'm done!  Okay, so I really have 3.5 days until my due date, but I feel ready.  Unfortunately, the doctor thinks I'm going to be late.  I've been counting on this, since everyone in my family births late.  Boo.  I was hoping I would be the anomaly.  Oh well, it really would be better for Joel's schedule if the little one shows up later than expected.  I think it would really be better for my back if she decided to arrive early :)  What do I know, though?

Look At Me Grow!

9 weeks old!  We called her Lima Bean at this stage, because that's kinda what she looked like

13 weeks and 3 days old.  This is one of my favorite US pic's of her.  She looks like she's smiling and doing a fist pump. It was comforting for me to see her looking happy as I was going through a really difficult life situation at this stage.

20 weeks and 3 days.  It was during this US session that we found out we were having a GIRL!

37 weeks and 1 day.  Look at her sweet cheeks!!  For those of you who have a hard time distinguishing what is what...this is a head shot.  It almost looks like she's folding her hands in front of her face and praying.


We are READY for you, Little Lima Bean!! (We promise not to call you that after you are born)

This Is What I Look Like Pregnant According to a Kindergartner

My niece found me to be a VERY interesting subject to draw the last time I visited her.  Kindergarten spelling translation is "Baby."
