Hello Stapletons

On Sunday Aubrey got to meet her cousin Emalee. Emalee kept saying why is she so little. She seemed to have forgot that babies grow. Of course she wanted to hold her and she wanted Will to hold her. Will was a good daddy and minded Emalee. Which surprised me considering that a week earlier Will said Aubrey was to little for him to hold. Aubrey must have grown a lot, or maybe he is just practicing for there new baby.

3 Weeks

Today Aubrey is 3 weeks old. We took her and had her picture made, she did very good. I just posted a couple of the pictures. It is kinda funny that today was also my "due" day, but Miss Aubrey had different plans.

Sleeping Beauty

Last night was a big night at our house, Aubrey slept in her room. For the past few weeks she has slept in a bassinet beside our bed. She took a few naps in her bed but hadn't slept there during the night. Even though I could see her on the monitor it was a little hard for me. Tom made it fine but like he said he isn't home every night with her anyway. Tom is off for a few days so maybe by the time he goes back to work I will be use to it. I will let everyone know in a few days if I put her in there when Tom is gone. I also know that we are breaking every SIDS rule by having all the covers under,around and on top of her, but that is how she likes to sleep. Snug as a bug in a rug.

Look at those Muscles

I thought Aubrey looked cute in her "muscle" shirt the other day. She was wide awake and very happy after she ate. So we had a little photo session.

Update Update

Yes I know I am way behind on the blog but a lot has happened in the last two weeks.

On July 4Th weekend we moved into our new house. It was a long hot weekend. I didn't do that much but everyone else in the family worked really hard getting us moved in. Sunday night I went to bed (in the new house) feeling like something was different. I woke up at 2:06 Monday morning and discovered my water had broke. Our baby was on her way. My labor went very well. Epidural is my new best friend. At 2:32Pm Tom and I got the most wonderful gift anyone could ever receive, a child. Aubrey Lee Greer showed up 3 weeks early weighing in at 6lbs 1oz, 19 1/2inches long and absolutely beautiful. On Wednesday we got to go home but Aubrey's jaundice levels were up so we would have to come back the next morning to have her retested.

We went back Thursday morning for her blood work then went home. We had been home long enough to change 1 diaper and the Dr called back and said that her levels were dangerously high. Since she hadn't been eating well she was dehydrated and she needed to be admitted into the hospital. Of coarse I have a break down then pull myself together and we head off to the hospital. She was so pitiful. She was orange and just limp as could be. We got there and they had to put her in a little box and put the blue "tanning" lights on her and put her on IV fluids. We had to leave her in the box with her eyes covered. We could take her out to feed her and that was it. By the next day she was much better and eating good. By Saturday she was doing very good and we got to come home.

Sunday we had lots of company. Everyone was ready to see sweet little Aubrey. Kennady and Kassady wanted to hold her so bad. They loved her to death. Aunt Dean, Dusti, and Hunter brought baby Madi by to visit. Casey and Lucas also came by. We took group pictures of them. Lucas will be 5months on Thursday, Madi is 5 weeks and Aubrey was 6 days
