Welcome.

Ben just took the boys to the park. Audrey is sleeping. I've had a cup of coffee and as I reached to grab my cereal bowl, I saw the camera (that has 322 pictures on it since last Thursday). And I thought ... perhaps I should upload a few and give you a glimpse of our past few days.

This is Miss Audrey Elizabeth. She arrived last Thursday at 10:11am. I had the entire OR on alert that she really might not be a girl. You see ... I wasn't completely convinced. Sure I had an ultrasound by the world renowned Dr. Finberg who has NEVER made a gender mistake but even that didn't completely do it for me. The nurse in the triage area told me a Finberg scan was as solid as it gets. Apparently, I have issues with believing even world renowned physicians. When Audrey did make her first appearance, one of the OR nurses shouted ... "She really is a girl!!"

Here we are ... meeting for the first time :)

And here is my most favorite doctor on the planet. He had to work on me for QUITE some time. I had a few complications that I can explain at a later date ... but when I say that our Audrey is a complete miracle ... she truly is. And that Dr. Urig ... he's a total rock star!

Benni holding Audrey in the recovery room ... apparently ... by this time ... he and Audrey had already had "the talk." I'm pretty sure she won't be dating until she's 30!

And probably my favorite moment of the day ... other than meeting Audrey myself was when my grandma arrived. My grandparents have always been the first visitors for each of my kids in the hospital. I was pretty sure they weren't going to keep up their track record with baby #3 but when the phone rang in the recovery room that we had visitors ... I was THRILLED!

Audrey .... meet ... Audrey!

Life just doesn't get much better than to capture a moment like this!!
P.S .Audrey's name was kept a secret so my grandma (Audrey) had only found out moments before this picture that she would be meeting the newest Audrey!
