You can see pictures of my precious 2 week old at the Raye Law Photography blog. Oh wow! She did an amazing job. Which of course is why I had to have her do Aubrey's pictures. The family picture above... she did that one too! Just amazing.
Aubrey had her checkup with Dr. Cheshier today. She now weighs 8#4oz. He said that he was disappointed to see me doing such a great job, because he was hoping to take her home. : ) That was sweet. But no, he said I was doing a great job. Everything checked out wonderful. She was stuck for her PKU test and that wasn't fun. She was a trooper and slept a long time after that.
She is a really easy-going baby. Very laid back. Not fussy. Eats every 3-4 hours and sleeps one long stretch at night from 10pm to 3:30 or 4am. I'm so grateful. I prayed really hard, God please have mercy on me having babies 20 months apart. He did. God is always merciful and gracious.
Aubrey looks a lot like Scot, which makes her look a lot like Abby. Although, sometimes I see a lot of Avery too. She has 2 dimples. Finally, I got a baby with 2, not just one. I do love my one dimple wonders though. It's just every baby I have looks completely like Scot and dimples are the mark of their momma. I really wanted someone to get both. The funny thing is, Avery didn't get dimples, but she looks and acts the most like me. Abby and Benjamin look just like Scot... and Aubrey... and they all got dimples!
Aubrey has light brown hair. Lighter than Avery's at birth, darker than Abby's. I'm not sure about her eye color yet. Too early to tell. She has a pretty round face. Super long fingers and toes. Long legs and long arms. Long=Scot. My mom and I measured her freakishly long fingers out of curiosity. For reference, my middle finger is 3 in long. Aubrey's middle finger 1 1/4in long. Almost half of my finger! So freakishly long fingers confirmed. It was not my imagination.
I am certainly feeling the effects of having a newborn and a 20 month old. I am really tired. I've been sick and I'm having a big challenge bouncing back. I am praying that I will get well this week. But sleep is needed. Just not available. Oh! To have a newborn again..... pure BLISS! Sleep deprivation and all. : )
