Ok so now that I have sometime and better pictures, here is the story.  Wednesday September 14th I start having contractions....I think.  I've never had contractions before so I have nothing to compare them to, but I never had that pain with any of my other kids.  So I start texting my mom every time I have a contraction and she tells me I should probably think about heading to the hospital.  But me being stubborn wasn't ready to go to the hospital got sick of keeping track of the contractions and decided I would get up and clean my house instead. Once I did that the contractions stopped so I did my thing and tried not to worry about it.  Thursday September 15 started out like any other day. I went and volunteered in Joels class and got ready for my appointment.  As the Doc was doing my ultra-sound he measured Aubrey and found that she had stopped growing and was only 5lb 4ounces and I had lost almost 3 lbs.  When I told him that my other kids were over 7 lbs that's when he decided that we needed to deliver her that night. I had enough time to go home clean my house, pack my bags, pick my kids up from school and find a place for them to be for the next couple of days and then we were off to have a baby. Here is my last pregnancy photo at 37 weeks!!!

 My first time holding my baby girl.  Because she was 3 weeks early the doctor was worried that Aubrey would have to spend time in the NICU, but luckily she was healthy and didn't have to go there at all.  The only problem she has was she was jaundice and had to be on the lights for 5 days.
 The kids first time seeing and holding her.  They are all so in love with her.

 First day at home.
 My three girls.  I love this picture.  It fits all of their personalities perfectly.
 Just some precious moments


 She looks a lot like Bailee.....

 ....and Justin!!!
 This was her blessing day.  We were able to bless her at our house, with a lot of family.  It was so wonderful.  Justin gave her a beautiful blessing.
 My sister Des made this adorable hat for her.  It's still a little big but I couldn't resist.
 more cuteness.

This is little Aubrey May at 1 month old. I can't believe she is already that old.  Time flies. She is so perfect and I love her to death.  She fits in our family perfectly and I can't imagine not having her here.

MIA

Well I have been MIA for several reasons.  The first is we moved to Bountiful the beginning of September. I love it, it is half a home, and we have a backyard with a deck, and three floors.  We are also at the end of a culdesack and very close to the kids school. It is perfect for our family and it's closer to school for Justin so the commute isn't as long.  We were very lucky to find it. But because we moved we haven't had internet, sad:)

Reason #2

Little Aubrey May decided to make her appearance 3 Weeks early.  I was pretty shocked that she came so early, but when I went to my doctor appointment he was worried about her.  When he measured her she was measuring small and he was worried that she had stopped growing so he decided to take her that day.  She was 5 lbs 13 ounces, and 18 1/2 inches long with dark hair. She is perfect and such a good little baby.  I now feel like my family is complete. I will post some better pictures and more details about everything later, but for now this will have to do :)
