Some Pics!

Just wanted to post a few pics of the kids, again!

Here's Austin today.  He's 10 days old!!

Our New Baby!!!!

Okay, I've made it back to my blog!  Needless to say...this week has been on the busy side!  Big changes for our family, but we are thrilled to welcome our new little baby, Austin!   He was 6 lbs. 12 oz, 19 in. long.  Here's some pics of him.  Most of these are on my facebook, so a lot of you guys have seen these already, but that's okay.

This is Austin when he was 1 hour old.  He already looks like his daddy!

Aubrey was waiting for me when I came out of Labor & Delivery.  Here she is looking at her new brother, before I came out.  She told all the nurses that passed that he was her baby brother.  She also decided that his name was "Baby Bubble Austin Bubba."  Random, I know...but that's my daughter for ya!  She rattled that name off really fast to all of the nurses.  They thought she was cute!

Aubrey meeting Austin for the first time.  She was so excited, and hasn't been at all jealous all week.  She's such a good big sister!

Mathis loves his baby boy!!!

So tiny!

Here's what Aubrey got when we got home from the hospital on Sunday.  She was excited to get her "Big Sister" present.  We wanted to make sure she felt extra special through all of this, because its such a big change for her. So far, so good!

First day home from the hospital.  2 days old!

He was making some cute faces.  I like this one, because you can see his cute dimple!

Our family!

Lol, Austin is just hanging there, but he loves being held on his stomach like that.  :)

This is what Aubrey does to make baby brother laugh. :)  She likes to make funny faces at him, then she laughs and laughs!  :)

Cute.

Just a quick note...Aubrey was cute this afternoon.  We put her in her car seat, then as we were backing the van out of the garage, she said, "Please keep your hands and feet inside at all times, and have a great day!"

38 weeks.

Just to keep everyone posted on the pregnancy...I just finished my 38th week, so 2 more left until my due date!  I'm sure that sounds like not much time to everyone else, but it's gonna drag on and on for me if I go that long.  For a while, it was looking like the baby would come early, so now that I'm full term, I just want him out!  Guess he'll come when he's ready, but this sure is getting uncomfortable!   I'm voting for our little man to make his entrance into the world ASAP!!!!  Anyway, it will happen soon enough.  I'm just so excited to hold a little baby in my arms, I can't hardly stand it!  

Aubrey

I thought I'd write a couple little things Aubrey said the last couple weeks.  There's nothing too spectacular or funny, but I know her grandma's like hearing her little stories, so here ya go. :)

(Aubrey talking to Mathis)

Aubrey: "Can I bring my dolly-doll downstairs?"

Mathis: "Yes you may."

Aubrey: "NO! Just say 'if you'd like!"

I think it's funny how particular 3-year-olds can be about things that really don't matter.  We have conversations like that one all the time!

(Aubrey gave Mathis a hug and said "I love you Daddy!!!")

Mathis: "Thank you!"

Aubrey: "I love Mommy too!" 

Mathis: "Do you love the baby?"

Aubrey: "No, I just ABSOLUTELY like him!"

Aubrey was playing the "got your nose" game.  She grabbed my nose, then stuck her little thumb between her fingers, , making a fist, then laughed because she had my nose.  Then she asked if she could go get Daddy's nose.  She walked over to him and told him to bend over.  He bent over, and she made a fist, then punched him right in the nose!  Neither of us were expecting that, and that was one of the times that we should have disciplined, but it was useless, because we were both laughing at her.  Oh well, no parent is perfect. ;)

A couple weeks ago, Aubrey drank a big glass of lemonade, then rubbed her belly and with a big cheesy grin said, "mmmm....that's a-fweshing! (refreshing)"  She's constantly picking up new words, and she can be such a cheese-ball sometimes! :)

A few nights ago, I said something that made Aubrey laugh.  She grabbed my face in her hands, then shouted, "YOU'RE SOOO STINKIN' CUTE!!!!"

The other day when I asked Aubrey what she wanted for breakfast, she replied, "a scrumpled egg, please."

One day when I picked Aubrey up from nursery, her teacher was laughing, because apparently, Aubrey was chattering on and on about how, "it's so hard being a princess!"  Haha, she's such a diva sometimes.
