HOLY COW LOOK WHO IS 7 NOW!!!


I want to wish a big fat HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our sweet Aubree! Today she turned 7 years old. Where has time gone? She can't be seven already!! I went into labor with Aubree a little over a month early. Jamie and I had a late night around 1 am I woke up thinking I wet the bed. I was embarrassed and told Jamie. As we changed the sheets I told him I thought she was leaning on my bladder. We went back to bed and I rolled to my other side and I felt a gush. I told Jamie I wet the bed again. I was confused because I did not feel like I had to go to the bathroom. This time around Jamie was like "are you kidding me?" He said just go sit on the toilet. Oh what a memorable night. I finally figured out I was in labor and my water broke after talking to my Mom and the Dr. As we started packing the contractions started coming. On our drive to the hospital I remember praying "let this be labor and not just me wetting my pants!" (My sister who I shall remain unnamed thought she was in labor once she went to the hospital and they informed her she wet her pants). Anyway, we got to the hospital they confirmed my water was breaking and gave me this awesome shot for pain. I just remember feeling happy and my pillow felt extra soft. A few hours later I got my epidural and I drifted to sleep. They checked me every hour and around 10:15 in the morning the nurse checked me and said "DO NOT MOVE!!!" She was right there. A couple of pushes and there she was. The NICU Dr. was there cause she was early but she looked great. After I bled out and had to be rushed to surgery. I did not see Aubree until late the next day. As my pregnancies are always terrible and I have issues after I have them I am thankful every day for my special babies! Aubree is such a great little girl. So kind and loving and so ahead of her time! I will upload pictures from her Tinker Bell party later. Tonight we are having some friends over for her favorite dinner "Mom's Tacos" We love you Aubs Bobs and wish you a great 7th year!

I love Jamie's line,"Are you kidding me?" I still find it hilarious that you didn't realize it was your water breaking! I'm glad Aubs had a great Bday wish we were closer so we could celebrate with you guys!
