Life with Baby


Aubrey is almost 4 weeks old and has been an angel. She is a very content baby. Luckily she never had problems adjusting to night and just woke up for her feedings and then would go right back to sleep. I am doing well and other then my brain my body feels back to normal. Hailey is amazing with her. Everyday she tells Aubrey how sweet and cute she is and asks to hold her a few times a day. Whenever Aubrey is crying and I can't get to her right away I always find Hailey in there trying to keep her occupied, she is a natural mother. Not once has she shown frustration for having her around, she is always understanding of the demands a new baby brings. Charlie also adores his new baby girl, he gets the biggest smile on his face when he comes home and sees her. My mom came to town for 10 days a few days after the birth and helped out tremendously with keeping Hailey occupied and running the household. I couldn't have asked for a better adjustment then the one we have been having.
Aubrey is 11 pounds now and continues to fatten up. For now she has blue eyes and red hair. We will have to see how the coloring will change. It's amazing that our children keep coming out with the light coloring.
