Meet Aubrey

In case you don’t follow us on Facebook or Instagram, you may have missed that we welcomed the newest member of our family on Wednesday morning.

Meet Aubrey.

Well, Princess Aubrey, to be exact.

Brett took that photo from the hospital - he can make a studio anywhere! lol

Aubrey was born at 9:40 am. 8 lbs 12 oz and absolutely beautiful.

While I definitely plan on making more of a birth story post in the near future, I do want to share one of my favorite moments…Trent meeting Aubrey for the first time.

Just when you think your heart can’t get any more full of love…

Trent has been pretty good. He visited twice, but wasn’t at the hospital too much, mostly because that place is like a Chuck E Cheese for a two year old…so many buttons and wires to mess with. I was shocked he didn’t accidentally press the nurse call or emergency button!

We headed home yesterday (Friday).

An attempt at “nap time” yesterday took some coordination between Brett and I swapping children. Trent naps so much better when I’m the one that helps, and he ended up taking one for 3 hours…lots of excitement with family members and friends must have worn him out!

A sweet friend brought us some dinner. It was so delicious and we’ll have leftovers for days.

Last night took even more trial-and-error…but that’s just how it will be for the next, well, 18 years? Haha. Luckily, I did get some sleep, more than I got in the hospital, in fact!

Right now, Brett and Trent are out shopping and picking up miscellaneous items while Aubrey has been introduced to a favorite item from Trent’s first few months…the zCush Nap Mat!

It will be a nice difference from my last maternity leave…Brett was only home for 2 weeks and then went back to work…this time, he’s here the entire time and I am off for twice as long. Of course, having a toddler makes a big difference too!

I have a few review/sponsored posts that will be going up over the next few days…giving birth kinda throws your blogging schedule off a bit! I never logged on to the computer while in the hospital because the wifi was almost non existent, and I was far too unprepared to actually be a good blogger and schedule posts to go up while I was there (we weren’t expecting Miss Aubrey for another week!) so I hope you guys don’t mind me playing a bit of catch up around here

Hope you guys have a lovely weekend and I hope it’s a little cooler where you are!
