Aubrie's Blessing Day

>


Aubrie was blessed on the 6th of September. It was such a beautiful day. Dusty did such a great job. I was so proud of him. Aubrie didn't make a sounds the whole time which I was a little worried about but she did great. We had all of my family and Dusty's there it was such a fun day. Here are some pictures:

UPDATE

Just a quick up date this with us. We are doing really good. Allie and Aubrie are such good kids! I love being a Mom. Allie will be 2 at the end of this month and I just can't believe how fast 2 years went. She is growing up so fast. But I love the age she is at right now and I know it will just get better. She has become my little best friend. Aubrie is the best baby ever. I swear this kid is a piece of cake. She has been sleeping from 9-6 for the last week and a half and hardly ever cries. Sometimes I will lay her on the floor come back to her and she has fallen asleep. I never expierenced this with Allie so it's been a whole new ballgame and I LOVE it! I could have another one right now. But Dusty says no way, you need to get your self back to normal. :)
I'm getting there but there is just so much going on. I think I'll feel so much better when this Primary Program is out of the way. It's this coming Sunday and that will relieve a big burden off my shoulders. Hopefully after that I will no be so stressed.

We also put our condo on the market this last week. We found a home that we really like so we need to get this place sold. We've been busy boxing up things and making it so our place looks really open and organized. I hope it sells soon. I love our ward so that will be really hard to move but I really want a home and we just feel that it is time. So, we'll keep you posted on that but if you know of anyone that wants a condo let us know!!



Aubrie is getting so big

WOW

Time has flow by! Aubrie is now 5 weeks old! I can't believe how fast it has gone. She has been such a good baby. I swear I had no idea babies were like this. I love it. I can take her anywhere and she is so happy. We have been keeping busy these last few weeks. Allie is always keeping me on my toes and I just love the stage she is at in her life. Every morning when she wakes up she comes right into my room and says "Hi Mom" I love it then she'll say "where Aubrie" then when she finds Aubrie she says " Hi Aubrie" then hits her. I don't know why but every time she see's Aubrie she just wants to hit her. She threw a shoe at her the other day! So, at this point I'm not sure if she likes her yet. But I think she warming up to it, every day it gets a little better... kind of :)
Last weekend Dusty left for a business trip to Colorado. That was interesting to be alone with two kids. I had one good night and one bad. The bad one was because Allie has been fighting a cold so since Allie had a cold Aubrie has now got it. So I was up with Aubrie then Allie fell off the bed and then I was up with her. So I think that night I got about 2 or maybe 3 hours of sleep! Not the best night. Well ever since last week Aubrie has been a little more fussy then normal so I decided to take her into the doctor today because she has a really bad cough. Well come to find out she has an ear infection! I couldn't believe she already has one. Plus she has thrush. So I am hoping the meds they gave me work and I get my happy baby back. But all of this made me realize how bad the winter is going to be this year. Aubrie is going to get everything Allie gets. I hope we survive.
Oh so when they weight Aubrie to day she weighted 10lbs 5 ounces! I couldn't believe it she has grown 3 lbs in 3 weeks. She LOVES to eat...obviously. Allie wasn't 10lbs till almost 3 months. So funny how different these two are. Anyway here are some pics of both my girls and Dusty.

Aubrie is Here!

Aubrie Robins was born on July 21st at 10:00am. My water broke around 11:30 Monday night while Dusty and I just got done cleaning our carpets. We hung around the house for a little bit Dusty needed to shower and I wasn't really having any bad contractions so it was just fine. We had our friend Ashley come and stay with Allie and then we were off to the Hospital. I was admitted around 1:00am given my epidural around 2:00 and as soon as my epidural was in Dusty was passed out of the couch. Good thing I brought a book to read. I couldn't sleep with all the people coming in and out so I just hung out. It took me almost 4 hours to dilate to a 4! Once I got there it seemed to go by pretty fast I jumped to a 7 then another hour I was an 8 that was around nine then from nine till 10:00 things went really fast I was at a 10 before I new it and then it was time to push I pushed through 2 contractions it was seriously maybe 10 min of pushing and she came out. It was amazing! You forget what an amazing feeling that is to see this baby that has been in you for 9 months come into the world. I just wanted to kiss her and hold her. She weighed 7.7 and 18 inches long. Allie was EXACTLY the same. She has a little bit of hair which is actually different then Allie. Allie had nothing but Aubrie has a little fuzz on top. She looks like Allie but there is something that makes her different I can't figure it out yet. She has been such a good baby compared to Allie. Allie was a screamer as soon as we brought her home and Aubrie only cries when she is hungry. It's been such a blessing. Allie still isn't sure of her yet. So hopefully that changes soon. When Aubrie wakes up to eat at night Allie wakes up from Aubrie crying and she gets scared. So Dusty is hoping that changes because I'm taking care of Aubrie so that means he is taking care of Allie. But things are going really well we couldn't of asked for two cuter little girls we are so blessed!

Getting Closer

I went to the doctor today and everything is looking so good. They checked my cervics and I am 70% effaced and 1-2 dialated. I was pretty excited about that until I came home and looked in my journal and realized this is exactly how far I was at 36 weeks with Allie and I went 4 days over!! So, I'm not getting my hopes up that little Aubrie will decide to come early on her own. I will be induced on the 23rd if she doesn't come before that but I'm pretty sure she won't. It's so exciting to get down to the end I can't believe how fast it's gone. Aubrie will you get her already!

Oh and I know I still need to update Newport pictures I'm trying to get all of the pictures from family. I will do it soon! Here's a sneak peak :)

Summer

Well the summer is almost half over I can't believe how fast time flies. Here is a little bit of what we have been up to.

My sister Becca and her Husband Doug went on a trip to Hawaii and so Dusty and I watch Taylor and Ashley for the weekend. We had so much fun with them. We went swimming, played at the park, went out to lunch and had a fun family movie night. Kate and Matt even joined us.





My sister Kasey Left for Africa for a month! We miss her so much. She gets back next Friday. We threw her a great going away party.


We've done A LOT of swimming and eating out.







But probably the best thing we did so far was a trip to New Port beach for 10 days. It was amazing!

I think I will do this in it's own post. SO look for more updates soon!

Doctors Appointment

I went to the doctors today and was in shock at how far along I am. I am now scheduled to go back to the doctors every 2 weeks for appointments. I remember doing this with Allie but it seemed like it was FOREVER away. I can't believe I am already here. I can't wait for her to come she is such an active baby. She moves like crazy. In fact last night she was pushing her little feet out and Dusty was feeling my belly and he stopped and said what is that? So I started feeling and sure enough you could grab her little foot. It was so fun! I love the feeling of this little person inside you. I can't wait to see what she looks like and acts like. The baby is doing really good and I am measuring a week and a half early so that's exciting. Hopefully she will be here sooner rather than later!



These are just some old pictures of Allie in the Hospital and at home in her crib. I am a little nervous to give birth again but also so excited! It's the most amazing experience I think a women can have.




29 weeks!
