Fun with Aubrey

Well, nothing too exciting is going on except just everyday hanging out with my cool new baby! I have some new pictures of her including her first bath this last weekend as her umbilical cord finally said goodbye on Thursday.

BATH TIME!








We went to Rimrock Meadows on Saturday to visit Kenny's Mom and Dad at their property for the weekend. There was lots of family up so it was a nice time. The weather was almost perfect too! We only stayed for a few hours but it was cool to see all the family and have Aubrey get to meet them all! Here is Daddy and Aubrey at Rimrock.

She's here! She's finally here!

Aubrey Jane Durbin arrived at 4:03 p.m. on Friday May 8th. She weighed 8 lbs, 4 oz and is 20.5 inches long and pretty much perfect! I went in to be induced on Thursday afternoon around 12:30. It is all just such a blur now. Labor is good times! :) I felt my first contraction at 7:53 but they didn't really start where I could consistently feel them until a little after midnight Friday morning. My water broke at 9:42 and pretty much like I said it is all a blur after that. My Mom and sister were taking notes almost the whole time with a notebook so I have that and it helps me remember a lot of what happened. It's amazing how much I don't remember until I read it where they wrote and I'm like oh yah that happened. Here are some pictures that we took at the hospital. I am so in love!!!


Aubrey right after she's born and they are getting her vitals. This picture was taken 17 minutes after birth. She just looks so happy and alert. I love the little tongue hanging out.


Isn't she amazing!

The BRAND NEW Durbin family!


She has a pretty good head of hair, especially in the back. Of course the picture doesn't do her justice but you get the idea.

Uncle Zach! Seriously funny story...while he was sitting there holding Aubrey the nurse came in to get vitals on her and she took a look at Zach and a look at me and said okay wait a minute, how did she get dark hair? You both have blonde hair. I was like yah...that's my brother! :) I didn't add that he is only 14...she probably just figured since he was so good with her that he was baby's daddy. He loves babies!

This is Kenny seriously conked out in the hospital bed while we were waiting to be released from the hospital...I guess he thought he was tired. :)

Just got home for the first time!

Argh!

Well, my doctor is going out of town this weekend for Mother's Day so she was wanting me to get induced today or tomorrow. I was told to call the hospital today at 3 and make sure they weren't too busy to get me in...well...yah I guess they were too busy... :( I have to try again tomorrow at 3. I was so ready today to go in there and have this baby! I got my nails done, finally packed my bag for the hospital and just got all of my business that I'd been putting off taken care of. So, now I don't even know what I'm going to do tomorrow. I'm going to be just chillin. I went on 3 walks with my Mom yesterday and then today I went on a walk with my Mom and one long one with my sister and Kenny. It's like this baby is just so comfortable and doesn't want to come out. I went and had my Biophysical Profile of the baby...which I guess is a test they do after 40 weeks to make sure everything is still going well with the baby and the x-ray tech lady said that she has plenty of room in my uterus...so that is just great! Baby probably just thinks she can stay until she gets kicked out...which will hopefully happen tomorrow! :)
I had only had one ultrasound during my pregnancy so it was nice to see her again today. I had the lady see if she could make sure that it was a girl because when I had my previous ultrasound the chick told me that with girls you can never be 100% positive so that has kind of been weighing on my mind especially since I got 100 million girly baby clothes at my baby shower. So, she is in fact a girl...they showed me. So, I can rest easy on that subject now. I didn't know what I was going to do if it turned out to be a boy. So...still with the waiting game...even though I had an appointment to be induced they bumped me. There have been soo many babies born in town lately and they only have four labor and delivery rooms...so they don't want to overcrowd if they don't have to. So, I will call again tomorrow at 3 and see if I can come in. Keep your fingers crossed for me...or maybe I could actually go into labor...that would be even better! :)

40 Weeks

So, I am actually 2 days overdue today but I did take this picture on Friday which is when I was a full 40 weeks. I have a Dr. appt tomorrow and I think I will discuss being induced sometime this week if it doesn't just happen. My last day at work was Friday and I am not going back so I feel like it is time for this baby to make it's debut. She is kicking me in the ribs all the time and it is so uncomfortable. I am so curious to see what she is going to look like, what color hair, how much hair, how much she'll weigh...I am so excited. Even Kenny was telling her to come out today. He's getting restless too. :) That is about all for now.
