My water broke Wednesday evening around 7:45. We headed to Carbondale and got all checked in by about 9:00. We met the doctor on call, got introduced to the anesthesiologist, and got prepped for surgery. Miss Audrey was born at 10:50 on March 31st, exactly 2 weeks before her due date, and sharing a birthday with her cousin, Leila!
Her stats:
6 lbs, 5 ounces
19 1/4 inches
She's definitely a little peanut, the same length as Laney was, but 10 ounces lighter! Even the newborn clothes are big on her! She looks a lot like Elena did, but she has more hair, and it's darker. Her skin is considerably darker, too. But pictures speak louder than words, so...
Daddy- still in shock! We just kept saying "I can't believe this is happening, I can't believe we're at the hospital."
An unhappy Audrey, minutes after she was born... hearing her cry in the delivery room was the coolest thing. Best feeling in the world...
Hanging out with Grandma, who got to be there (in the waiting room, anyway) while Audrey was born. In a strange hospital far away from home, we wanted (or I wanted) my mommy!
Cleaned up and ready for bed time... as we all were!
So that's the brief update... there is, of course, quite the story! But I'm still in the hospital (gotta love wifi) and still a little overwhelmed! Look for more pics and the full story next week! For now, we're relaxing and hoping to go home soon!
Congratulations on another beautiful baby daughter. With our love, Grandpa Don and Grandma De
