A Great weekend

We had a great weekend in Mississippi, but as always, it is so nice to be home! Aubrey was such a joy this weekend. She has started smiling so much more and even the sounds of a laugh are coming through!! This week she will be 8 weeks old and we look forward to more milestones :)
Over the weekend we received a lot of books from her MawMaw. Tonight we took a bath and she fell asleep while I read to her. I think we have a new routine!!! It is the little things!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving

We had an exciting day with the Williams family. Aubrey did a great job getting passed around so everyone could get a little love! Aubrey and I had a great nap this afternoon too!
Every year I am thankful for such a wonderful year, but this year was an extra special thanksgiving. Aubrey has added so much love to our life that it gives us even more to celebrate. God has blessed us and that is something to be extra thankful for!

Here is Aubrey hanging out in her comfy clothes on a lazy Sunday!
After a long weekend with Dad sick we are glad to have everyone back to normal :)

the williams update!

Wow, what a week! I am enjoying being back at work. It is already crazy but it feels good too! We found out the nanny's grandson has Rotavirus (lots of diarea and vomiting) and lucky us, Steve now has the adult version! He has been sick since yesterday afternoon and cannot keep anything in him. We went to the doctor this morning and he gave him something for the nausea. He has been confined to the bedroom as I do not want him anywhere near me and Aubrey!

Aubrey has thrown up every night this week from her acid reflux but today she has already thrown up 3 times. I hope she is not getting sick. When she is awake she is still pleasant so many prayers that we make it through the weekend smoothly. I did take her to get her weight check and get this... she is 6-1/2 weeks old and weighs 9lbs, 15oz. ALMOST 10 POUNDS!!!! WOW! I guess she is getting enough food!

Yesterday I went to the doctor and found out that my high blood pressure is back so I am back on medicine. YUCK! The new meds she gave me should not be as strong so hopefully they will not make me as tired. I do not have time to get tired!!!

Keep us in your prayers. I am glad it is friday as I need some time to relax :)

I made it!!!

Today was a great day! I knew Aubrey was in great hands, I got so much done with work, all is good! It is almost 11pm and haven't gone to bed yet so I hope this isn't a new pattern :) I can't handle too many long days in a row!!! These old bones need some rest but I wanted to say thank you to everyone who called or emailed me to check on me! I think mom did a great job balancing today!!! I am thinking that I need to move to Europe for my next kid to get a year off because 6 weeks just isn't enough!!!
Much love to everyone, many kisses and sweet dreams :)

also, Aubrey has had 2 great nights in a row. I hope she keeps this up :) She has started throwing up every night though so I hope it isn't due to the bottle. If she keeps it up, I will have to figure out what is going on. I can only think it is due to the acid reflux since it is a symptom. The good thing is she wants to eat soon after and her weight seems to keep increasing. I will go get a weight check on her soon to confirm!!!

Aubrey's first day at school

Today is mommy's first day back to work (the paying job) and I dropped Aubrey off at Ruth Ann's. She is my next door neighbor who takes care of her gandkids so I am so happy that she has a loving home to go to during the day! I am back at the house working from home and this house is QUIET!!!! The dogs might even get to sleep without interuption!!! Well, off to work I go... wish me the best! No tears yet, but you just never know!!! :)

Aubrey

Mississippi State vs Alabama... sad, sad, sad!

Aubrey after last night's loss against Alabama. She is wondering why her daddy isn't a fan of a better team!!!! She was wearing all the right clothes for the occasion though :)

Our trip to visit MaMaw

Aubrey and I had a great time in Montgomery/Wetumpka this week. We were able to visit MeMaw for her birthday, some of her friends, and some of my friends! Everyone welcomed Aubrey with open arms and many kisses! This week has been interesting because we figured out that Aubrey has reflux. We called the pediatrician while in Montgomery since she was crying so much and they called in the prescription. So far I can tell it is helping some. She has stopped tightening up her body and crying a lot less. Poor little girl was hurting. She did really good in on the car ride, slept the whole trip, both ways! I am very proud of her and glad we are on our way to recovery!

going on a family walk

Aubrey is snug in her carrier while we take the dogs for a walk on a beautiful afternoon yesterday!

Aubrey turned 1 month

On Nov 7th, we celebrated 1 month with Aubrey! Needless to say, she has grown so much and is truly a joy. She is finally getting rid of her baby acne... thank goodness :)

My first Halloween

Here are the pictures from my first modeling assignment!

I am a Georgia Voter

Aubrey was a hit with all the volunteers when we went to go cast our vote today. Daddy carried her proudly while we did our part and voted! Aubrey tried to convince Steve into adding Barney as a candidate, but that didn't fly! Wishing the best for tonight but it looks like our candidate didn't win as of now.

Daddy's first feeding

Aubrey turns 4 weeks tomorrow and since I go back to work in 2-1/2 weeks, we wanted to make sure Aubrey wouldn't have any problem eating out of the bottle while I am away. Steve was so excited to be able to feed her for the first time. Good Daddy time! Needless to say, my daughter had no problem as food is food to her!!!

busy halloween weekend!

We had a great halloween weekend. Aubrey got to meet so many new people!

First, Thursday afternoon we got our halloween pictures taken and Aubrey did such a good job! She was actually awake and didn't start crying until the 3rd outfit change and 7th pose! A little over the top but they turned out really good. I will get them on the blog when I get them next week.

Friday afternoon we went to the atlanta airport to meet our friends (who live in England) in the atrium while they had an hour and a half layover. Sharon and Dave have a 4 month old, named Sienna, who we got to meet for the first time. They were in the states for her christening in NY so it was so great to spend a little time with them since we will not be traveling to England for a while! It was so great to see them all.


Later on Friday afternoon Steve's parents arrived to meet their grandchild. We had a good visit and they were happy to finally meet our new addition to the family!


Friday night we had a halloween party in our col-de-sac where we got to meet so many new neighbors and hand out candy. Aubrey slept the whole time but everyone loved holding her and keeping her warm!

The rest of the weekend we spent time with family and relaxed!
