She's Here.....Hooray!



At 4:39 pm on June 11, 2010 Audrey Rose Carpenter made it to be with us at last. Should I start from the beginning?

A mostly uneventful day as far as birthdays go. Jeff thinks this picture he took of us if fuuny - thanks for your support babe. After being checked about 4 'o clock we had resigned ourselves to a slow progressing labor, and even called family to say that it was going to be a while. At 4:30 our nurse came in and looked under the sheets and then started running around like crazy and laughingly said that the dr. would probally make it. He walked in and in seconds we could hear our little girls first cries.

She weighed in at 7 lbs even ( the exact same as sister) and 19" long. We think she is the most amazing adorable thing ever.

Mom loves her. Dad loves her.


And big sister Kaylie loves her the absolute most. She is always giggling about the tiny baby and just giddy about her baby sister. This morning she woke up and ran into our bedroom and said "good morning baby sister, wake up"...forget about mom. Whenever we do something she want to make sure that baby sister is coming to. She loves to give her tiny kisses and tell her " I lub you baby sister"


Audrey is so much fun and so easy. She loves to sleep, and hardly makes a fuss about anything. We love how tiny and precious and beautiful she is. I especcailly love what a cuddly little bundle she is and am loving today now that she has started to open her eyes and look at us. She loves eating her hands, sleeping in her boppy pillow and cuddling with her mommy. We couldn't be more blessed.

Wow - you guys make beautiful baby girls! What a doll. I love the name Audrey and cannot wait to meet her!! I'm glad the labor went smoothly and quickly ;) I hope that Kaylie will always be a huge fan of baby sister, Molly is not the biggest fan of her baby Kate anymore - peeing in the panties and smiling saying "I had an accident :D" Not so fun...but Kay has always loved baby dolls, so I'm sure they'll be besties :) Let us know when you'd like visitors coming by!!

Can't wait to see her again. I feel like one slacker of an Aunt having only seen her once.
