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!

Easter



We had such a good Easter this year. We loaded up the car on Friday and made our way to Scipio for the weekend. It was so much fun. Scipio does one of the best Easter egg hunts for the kids and Allie loved it. The competitive side of me came out and I kept telling her hurry hurry :) What's wrong with me?? After the hunt we went back to Grandma and Grandpa Robins and had lunch with everyone. Then that's about all Allie could handle and she was off to bed. About a half hour after she went to bed Dusty and I decided we better nap too. Next thing we all new we had been sleeping for 4 hours!

So, that took up most of our day. After are long nap we did more Easter egg hunting in the backyard this was really fun and the kids loved it! We made it to the Scipio dairy queen for dinner then just hang out the rest of the night. Sunday we woke up and went to church in Scipio then after church loaded up the car and headed to Orem to be with me family. We made it just in time for dinner which was so yummy.. and more Easter egg hunting. We still ahve 2 McCuistions not married so my parents include us adults in the hunt. SO my parents go outside and hide everything and we all go out and get it.


It was really fun. Allie got a cute outfit, more candy, bubbles, a kit and much much more. She gets so spoiled on these Holidays. After that we headed home. We were pretty worn out when we got home but we had so much fun. Before we left Orem my Dad played a video that is on LDS.org and it has Elder Hollands talk about the Atonement along with some pictures. (IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT IT'S A MUST)It was the perfect ending to the day. I love the Easter Holiday I love the whole week preparing for it. I reflect more that week about what the Savior has done for me then any other week. How grateful I am that I don't have to do it alone!




Here's a picture of me at 25 weeks. Sorry it's so blurry!

BedTime


I don't know about you guys but I think there is nothing cuter than your husband putting your kid to bed. I just had to take pictures of Allie and Daddy reading books


and getting ready for bed. Allie loves her Daddy when she wakes up in the morning she yells Mommy then Daddy then if I go and get her out of bed she runs right into our room looking for Daddy. It's so cute. Dusty is such a good Dad he's patient, loving and so fun to be around. When he gets home these two just play and play until bedtime.

It's so fun to watch her face light up when he walks through the door. This is

something I have been looking forward to my whole life and I love just sitting back and thinking this is exactly how I pictured it. We love you Dusty!!

Cold Days...


This weather stinks lately. We were getting used to going outside all day and now we are stuck indoors. So I've been trying to make things more fun for Allie but all she wants to do is play in this basket. I don't know what it is but she loves it so this is how most of our morning went.
