Three Weeks Old!!!???

Yipee! Bath Time! She loves taking baths, but HATES getting out! Audrey with her favorite thing....her binkie

Happy naked time! She looks so chubby in this picture...love it!

I love this picture! It shows what she does all day long...reach for things with her hands. Check out her cute dimple! Yikes! I can't believe Audrey is already three weeks old! She is awake a lot more during the day and is so alert!

She has already gained a pound from her birth weight and all is going perfectly...except for a horrible case of baby acne...which is thankfully starting to clear up!

Audrey eats about every three hours which gives me time to get a lot done! Mason has been off the whole time since she was born so he's home with me! We try to get out at least once a day...Mason gets a little stir crazy when we don't have any plans for the day. He also takes the baby every morning around 5 or 6 and lets me sleep until she's ready to eat again...I'm so lucky! Unfortunately he goes back to school on Monday.

On an interesting note....Mason got a TB test for Optometry school and it came back "maybe" positive. So he had some blood drawn and now has to get a chest X-ray to see more. Mason thinks he may have gotten it while in Brazil. We'll see what happens when we get the blood results.

More Pictures!

Here's a good shot of her face...it's already changed so much!

Failed "photo shoot" shot. I think she looks cute though!

Mason's idea of a perfect day...xbox and holding Audrey

She finally got to meet grandma and grandpa Rogers!...a week and a half later....stupid snow!!!

Mason and I tried to do our own photo shoot only to discover that we both really stink at taking pictures....so I guess we're going to Target to get some really good ones. Here's some pictures from the last week or so....I can't believe she's already almost two weeks old! She's doing so good! We got really lucky with a good baby. Last night she actually slept for six hours before I woke her up to feed her! She's starting to recognize the difference between night and day...and I get to sleep longer...yipee!

SHE'S HERE!!!

The Plan

No baby yet...but we set an appointment to get induced on Wednesday if she doesn't come on her own before then! Yipee! There is an end in sight!

Not Quite Here

Ok...sorry I haven't updated in a while. I was really hoping that my next post would be one with pictures of the baby. Oh well. My due date is tomorrow! I can't believe it! So far, there's not much progression in the baby getting here department. My doctor says that the baby's ready to come but my body just isn't getting it. Anyways, my blood pressure has stayed down so now we just get to wait for her to come on her own. I have another appointment on Monday....if I haven't had the baby by then we are going to schedule an appointment to have me induced. Wish us luck! If I end up going to the appointment on Monday I will update afterwards! Here's to hoping that I don't make it through the weekend!!!

Thanks Emily! I needed something to do at work today! I went back to the DR. on Friday and although my blood pressure did rise, it was still in the acceptable range so we are just keeping a close eye on it. I go back to the DR. tomorrow, so if anything exciting is going to happen, I will let you know.

Baby Update

I had a doctors appointment yesterday and discovered that I have really high blood pressure all of a sudden. I'm going back in tomorrow to get it checked again. If it keeps raising, my doctor is going to induce me. So...we could be having the baby much sooner than we anticiapted! I am officially full term, so the baby will be nice and healthy! Wish us luck!
