Welcome Aubrey Irene!

I had the privilege of staying in the hospital with my might-as-well-be-my-sister friend, Jen and her precious new-as-of-that-day baby girl, Aubrey, Tuesday night (did you get all that?).  They are the ones with the egg farm, and her hubby, Scott, really needed a good night's sleep and to get a few things done on the home front.  Jen had a C-Section and was not allowed to get out of bed that night and therefore was not allowed to be alone with the baby in case something went wrong.  I was honored to don my jammies and have a good ol' girl's slumber (well, there was SOME slumbering) party.



Let me tell you, Aubrey is a DOLL!  Oh, I just love this little one already.  She's nursing like a champ (well except for that 4:30 feeding when she really just wanted to sleep...smart girl).  Her mommy reports that last night she had a 5 hour stretch of sleep.  

















Congratulations Scott, Jen, and Brennan...we are SO excited for you!!!

Oh my word, there's nothing as precious as a newborn baby. What a miracle they truly are.

What a precious, precious little girl.

And, what a great memory for you and Jen. You are a wonderful friend, and I can only imagine that Jen loved having you there as much as you loved being with her and her new baby.

I agree, she's a cutie! I was in to see Jen yesterday and loved holding little Aubrey - newborns are so sweet.

Congratulations! What a sweet baby girl!

My neighbor spent the night with me after Mauryn was born - it was a sleepless sleepover. Mauryn was under a one on one nurse supervision so I was up going to see her and pumping since I couldn't hold her. It was nice to have a friend there with me. What sweet memories to have with your friend. I am sure she is very grateful!
