Aubrey Lynn Alexander was born at 10:03 am on July 4th 2010. She was 5 lbs and 12 oz and was 19.5 inches long. My water broke at 2 am and woke me up to say "ut oh... I think my water just broke"... kyle when in the guest bedroom to wake Aunt Naina who was visiting for the weekend and said we are heading to the hospital Katy's water just broke!!
Once at the hospital the Doc confirmed my water broke (by checking and it water landing all over his feet and legs- Doc had to change clothes :) and shoes)
Then they tried to speed/strengthen my contractions. By 9:30 am they had the contractions going every 2 min but they were not getting stronger to dilate me... so they were concerned so the doctor came in and said lets do a c-section... needless to say as soon as I signed a form and said ok to the c-section we were in the operating room to make it happen... then Aubrey arrived at 10:03 am! She came into the world with a great set of lungs. We were in the hospital for 3 days and asked to leave a day early because we were very tired of being in the hospital (very small room and no sleep). Naina stayed all the next week to help out (thanks Naina!) and my dad B-paw came to visit that next weekend (which was already planned so Kyle and him could go to the wide spread panic concert in West Virgina). Then Paw Paw and Gi Gi arrived on July 13th. They worked on getting the house cleaned up... Paw Paw never stopped going... he is the energizer bunny ;) Thanks for all the help. Its week 2 and Aubrey is doing very well. She is nursing every 2-4 hours... I have gotten about 3-4 hours strait of sleep at night :) Yesterday at the doctor she weighed 6 lbs and 2 oz!!
Beckham is very excited about his little sister and says "I think she likes me" and "shes such a little girl" and "its ok Aubrey don't cry" and "mama can I hold her... (mama-not right now)... Mama you need to learn to share Aubrey" :) He took her picture to show and tell on Friday and made sure that every kid in the class looked at the picture of her. He is very proud of his little sis.
Kyle has been offered a new job... we are weighing all the options this weekend to try to decide if it is a good move or not... it would still be in Pittsburgh.
I am on maternity leave until the beginning of October and then I do plan on going back to work full time...
Kyle's dad and Jodie are moving to Pittsburgh at the beginning of August (about 3 miles down the road)
Anyway... welcome to the family Aubrey Lynn Alexander we love you very much!!!
