Audrey Alice joined our family on Monday, March 25th at 12:53 pm. She was 7 lbs. 6 oz. and 21 inches long. She has impeccable timing! March has been a terribly busy month for Gabe at work (not to mention the whole moving thing at home, we have gone under contract on a house in Farmington and are trying to get our house on the market here)- if she had arrived even hours earlier it would have been difficult and in conflict with Gabe's work;) Our c-section was scheduled for Thursday, March 28th, but like her brothers she decided she didn't want to wait that long to meet everyone. Gabe finished his week and weekend of inpatient service at 6am on Monday morning and by 9 am we were heading into the hospital in labor!
Everyone is doing well! Audrey has taken notes from Ben and is proving to be a pretty laid back little lady. All of her brothers love her and are so excited to have their little sister. The biggest adjustment for Gabe and I having a girl has been referring to her as a "her"... I think once we get home and dress her in all of the girl clothes she has been generously given this will get easier;) The coolest thing about having Audrey home is that both Gabe and I have this sense of "oh yeah, she was who was missing from our family". We can't wait to be at home and get this "adjustment period" going as we transition to our family of six! Stay tuned... I am sure this will be an entertaining process for those not directly involved;) Also, special thanks to our parents who so graciously took good care of the boys so we could both be at the hospital!
