On June 25, 2010 at about 4pm I was feeling contractions about every 20 minutes and I called my mom and Neal and told them that they were that far apart and I was to lay down and it would be a while until baby Aubrey would be ready to come out. But then the very next hour they were about 5 minutes apart and they were pretty intense. So I called my sister in law, Christine and she said that she was on her way to pick me up to get me to the hospital. Aubrey was very cooperative when it comes to timing, Christine had just walked in the door and had her car fixed and ready to help getting me to the hospital. Then at about 5pm we got the hospital and got checked in and when they checked me I was 100% effaced and dialated to a 5 already. Then an hour later I got an epidural and then I was in heaven to not be able to feel the contractions that were going and pretty strong.. apparently! Then I was in labor for about 5 hours and at about 10:45pm I was told that it was time to start pushing and then at 11:20pm she came out and was perfect. She may have looked white and wet but she was ours and she was perfect. She was 8 pounds and 7 ounces and was 20 inches long. We are doing great and she is a wonderful addition to our family!!!
Aubrey is so cute. I wish I could come see her, oh, and her parents too. Congratulations on the new addition to your family. We have a gift for Aubrey. We took it over to Seattle with us last week. Mom & Dad will be bringing it to you in a couple of weeks. Hope this new and exciting transition into parenthood is going well.
