Happy 1 Month to Aubrey

One month ago today, God blessed us with the addition of Aubrey Christine. After a rough start she is home, happy, and healthy. We are starting to get into a new routine and all 3 kids are adapting well...I on the other hand am still not use ti the middle of the night feedings. Aubrey had been smiling quite often and I tell myself it's not b/c of gas...it's because she is a happy baby. She by far is my best eater, nursing well and taking a bottle. Thank you Lord. She weighes 8lbs 2oz and continues to outgrow her newborn clothes. It it so hard to believe that she is already one month...time has gone way too fast. My challenge has been to live each day to it's fullest and to enjoy every minute with my kids that God has given me.

Yesterday Aubrey took her first trip to Lincoln to go shopping and meet some new friends. We were lucky enough to visit our newest friend Beau Epp. We are praising God for his great health and safe arrival. Congrats to the Epp's.

Future Friends

We took Aubrey over to meet some of our friends. Owen Ablott was born exactly one month before Aubrey. It was "love" at first sight!! Can't wait til they can play together.

18 day Check Up

Since Aubrey came home at almost 2 weeks old they postponed her 2 week check up to an 18 day old appointment. All went well and she is growing like a weed. We are so excited that she checked out well and so thankful for the healing that has been done in her little body. We are thanking Jesus everyday for Aubrey's life and for being her healer. Here are a few of the MANY photos that have been taken since we have been home.

Home Sweet Home

All 3 kids are asleep right now so I thought I would give you a quick update:

We finally came home Monday. Aubrey has been doing so well adjusting to the continuous noises from her older siblings. The first night was a little rough going to bed. Aubrey was so used to all the lights and sounds in the NICU that the quietness of the night kept her up...go figure. So now her lights are on in her room as well as music, and she seems to be more comfortable. She is growing up so fast and I can't believe that she is already 2 weeks old. It's kind of sad to me b/c I know the time will fly by and I want to enjoy every minute. Every time I look at her, I praise God for being her Healer and entrusting me to be her mommy. It's amazing at how much love you can have for someone so little. I sat worried a week ago that I would be afraid to take her home and God has answered my prayers and given me much needed peace and comfort having her home.

Today my mom left and the mommy of 3 finally felt what real life will be like. They all wanted me at the same time...we got thru those couple of minutes but I know that I have a lot of learning ahead of me!! Can't wait :) We have been so blessed to have great friends who have been providing meals for us. We have meals coming until the end of the month. I won't take one of them for granted...thank you to all who have contributed!!
